The Musician Tariff
Listening to Heather Bambrick on Jazz.fm this morning I learned that the time to process a visa application for performers has doubled and that to get an expedited visa now costs $2,800, limiting the ability of musicians to schedule tours in the US.
I have such a hard time even finding a jazz club, learning that now we can’t even get musicians just makes me even sadder.
@erik_squires This is a musician visa charge not a Jazz tax or Jazz tariff. Applies to all foreign musicians. The government knows many of these "musicians" will stay on in the States after their visas have expired. I would hazard a guess and say that many would be from the Philippines among others. |
@hifiguy42 To give you a heads up Stalin was a monster that let millions starve to death and sent armies with pitchforks to fight the Nazis or get shot by their own. Duarte was small potatoes it was the Marcos' which ran the Philipines and are still running the Philipines. If you really compare these monsters to Trump you are another terminal patient of TDS. The major symptom is total disregard of factual evidence and addictive watching of The View and having unclean thoughts about Whoopi Goldberg. |
