None have the financial resources to withstand another lockdown (and that may not be the last). Those ships are EXPENSIVE. Maintaining them is EXPENSIVE. Without lots of cash coming in, well, the Love Boat will return a few bucks as scrap metal .... Maybe zeppelins will make a comeback ? :-) Of course with everybody BROKE because of all the lockdowns, 'socialist' mis-management and infrastructure implosion - who can afford even that ? Once Biden has bankrupted "the rich" and the industries they support ... well, NO MORE MONEY. All fall down go boom .......... and then the revolutions, the barbarism, the dark age .............. |

I think it is because so many have gone stir-crazy. The Biden lockdowns will dry up their cash reserves however. Actually, zeps of modern design and materials really could be a cheaper "cruise-ship substitute". They will not carry thousands of course - so the companies will charge a lot more for tickets. I wonder if the fine print tells the patrons that they have to undergo 14 days of quarantine afterwards... Sure, just put up the colored 3-d glasses and read the text in a mirror :-) |

I thought all you people are convinced that Orange Man won the election and that there will be, as Pompeo put it, a smooth transition into a second Trumpo term. So, you needn't worry about any "Biden lockdowns" or anything else, right? -- The randomly chosen signature file that would have appeared here is more than 4 lines long.

They could not compete - until NOW. Luxury zeps, they may indeed have a future. Assuming the communists leave anybody with enough spare money for such things. I can sort of see president Harris in permanent residence in a luxury zep, high and safe while she persecutes anybody with an ounce of sense below. |
