Ah yes. “If you’re rich, nothing is illegal, there’s just a fee”

That’s definitely a thing, but something different.

I don’t think you get what I was saying. I’m not debating the definition of the word “fee.”

I’m saying that in most states in the USA, there’s often a fee for many things that can get gotten completely for free if you prove your income is low enough.

So I guess you could say you “pay a fee” of the extra time and hassle to prove your low income. But for something like a state ID, for instance, you can get one absolutely free (no money paid) if your income is low enough.

One small point to correct/adjust is the idea that these sites were “ignored.”

The pyramids have been a tourist attraction for thousands of years. The Romans talked about visiting them. I’m guessing there was never a time when they weren’t of interest to people in the area. Same for something like the Colosseum, Parthenon, or Pantheon. They might not have always prioritized preservation, but they certainly didn’t forget they existed.

Reverse. It’s only a fee if you can afford it. If you can’t afford it, it’s free.

A viable protest of decent size in my city that I can join. Even a few hundred people would be enough. Organized enough that I hear about it a week out and can shift my plans to be there.

I live in Nashville (and my sister lives in Germany). You should be fine. It’s a great place to visit.

Any place in the world has the small chance of a drunken idiot making a fool of themselves by revealing themselves to be racist. We’re no different. But you’re not going to be harassed by police officers or anything like that (unless you’re doing something worthy of their attention anyway).

The only places where I’d be the slightest bit concerned would be in the small town rural areas between Nashville and the national park. Even then you should be fine, but the odds of running into a racist idiot will go up from like 1% to 3%. And even if you do, it’s not like you’ll be in danger. They’ll just do their best to make you uncomfortable by saying something nasty. They won’t refuse you service or anything crazy like that.

Honestly, even in those areas you’re likely to be looked at suspiciously because of your foreign accent more than the color of your skin.

Subtle Doppler effect if you want it to be really accurate. Raise the pitch slightly and gradually add it gets ‘closer’. If understand if it’s music and that would mess with things though

Pretty much just kerosene. So not the best, but not horrible. It just uses LOX and RP-1 (highly refined kerosene) for fuel.
