Has any one done a survey/count of the number of technical or other US-venue meetings or conventions are being cancelled because of the danger to foreign nationals who attend?
The US has become a police state much, much faster than Nazi Germany did in the 1930's.
I've already noticed a downturn - for instance I was able to book rooms at a fancy hotel (Four Seasons) for about 1/2 of the normal rate.
