The resort we stay at - the same weekend every year for decades - is usually completely rented out. This year it was about 75% full. Campground was at about 50%. Fewer RVs, fewer motor homes, fewer ski boats, fewer jet skis, fewer kayakers, fewer paddleboarders. More fishing boats.

It's 100% gas prices. Maybe MFer is saving the planet with his idiotic war by reducing American gas consumption.
