There is nothing wrong with that inconvenient truth. Finite systems don’t care about political correctness.

Perhaps a better headline would’ve been, “Not everyone can join the middle class”.

Some care is needed though, because neither the poor butchering the rich classes with machetes during a revolt care about political correctness either...

How about, "less tourism, whether upper or middle class"?

I'd like to see wannabe tourists earn the right to travel, as opposed to it being the default or just what money buy you. Maybe a cultural exam based on the destination? Make people work for it. Of course that's not in the interest of huge tourism industries, domestic or abroad.

People that travel just to drink cheep beer or expensive champagne in another country, could always just stay at home and drink there.

That won't work on the long run. Watch the video, it is addressed.

That would make it subject to outcry because it could be understood as "you are not allowed", while the problem is that "there are too many of us for this lifestyle"
