The US has been charging foreigners more for national parks and all kinds of shit fir decades. Even rental car agencies charge a premium if you don’t have a us drivers license.
Didn’t we just start doing that at national parks as part of our slide into letting the absolute worst Nazis we have to offer running our country?
Also what the fuck is your argument? That it’s somehow ok? That French unions should actually focus their attention on US problems?
This comment has all the attention-whoring “but pay attention to my contrarianism!” of the last decade of reddit brainrot and honestly it needs to stop.
Relate your point to the point of the thread in a meaningful way or fuck off with your toxic little ragebait engagement farming.
I can see the case for charging a premium on car rentals.
A state issued drivers license is basically a certificate saying “this person can handle a car”. But as requirements to obtain a license are not standardized across nations it is hard for a company to determine whether a forgein driver is skilled or not. Therefore a premium price seems reasonable.
There are usually rules which license is valid in another country or you can demand an international driving license. For example you can drive with an EU driving license in the US for up to a year.
Have you seen how easy it is to get a license in the US? 16 year olds basically do a couple rounds on the school parking lot with an instructor and they hand you a license.
Requirements to obtain a drivers license are not standardized across states either. And skill (and temperament, judgement, mood, etc) varies wildly from person to person. There’s no guarantee of skill

That does not mean it is not discrimination.

The USA is probably the easiest country to obtain a licence in, with the worst drivers in the world. But I understand the logic.
And thats a world where Italians also exist.
