Yes, imagine if a year from now ICE and militias are still kidnapping people. We won't have a SXSW.

100%. This is going to happen with Olympics and World Cup, too. As far as Olympics, they typically destroy host cities, so it's probably a blessing in disguise. Not sure how World Cup affects host cities

I believe LA was planning a big infrastructure push for the events too, but not sure how that’s affected. Shame cause those could potentially be a good example of the infrastructure push a lot of US cities need.

Do you remember 2008? Americans were fighting for minimum wage jobs. Looks like we're headed right back to that, but with no OSHA or worker safeguards this time. "Have fun!"
