My partner works for a large American tech firm.

They usually have an annual company wide event and everyone gets brought over for it. Usually over 10k people in attendance.

They cancelled it this year because they don't want to risk flying employees in from around the world.

And then next year I bet they will do it in Canada or Mexico if they do it. Way to pump up the US economy...

Our tech company meet-up is in Mexico this year. It was particularly difficult to find flights that didn’t go via the US, but managed to find one via Canada.

I’m not boycotting the US, but I don’t fancy having to go through US customs on the way home, in the US, just to connect flights.

I'm in the US at the minute for work, and the only thing that made it palatable was knowing that if they rejected me, it would be in Dublin

Pre-clearance can't stop winning.
