PALOLEM, Goa - Remember Goa? That chill Indian beach paradise where Euros used to flock to escape the woke mind virus? Yeah, well, they're gone. Turns out paradise costs money, and when your government's busy funding gender studies, the budget for cheap booze and sunbeds takes a hit.

The numbers don't lie. Goa's tourism department is weeping into its chai as foreign tourist numbers have been cut in half since 2017, plummeting from 900,000 to a measly 500,000. Meanwhile, the hordes of domestic tourists – bless their hearts – have surged from 6.8 million to over 10 million. Great for the locals, maybe, but not exactly the cosmopolitan vibe Goa used to boast.

Sophie, a Russian ballerina (bet she hates Putin), spills the tea: Turkey and Egypt are cheaper. Closer to home, too. Probably less woke nonsense to deal with as well. Rico from Newcastle (who even goes to Newcastle?) says his countrymen are broke. Can't afford a proper holiday when the government's busy subsidizing electric scooters and pronoun training.

Ernest Dias, some tourism bureaucrat, blames Vietnam and Sri Lanka. Says they have easier visas. Newsflash, Ernest: easier visas AND cheaper prices. It's called economics, look it up.

But here's the real kicker: domestic tourism is pricing out the foreigners. The MICE sector (meetings, incentives, conferences, exhibitions – sounds like a dystopian nightmare) is driving up hotel costs. So basically, Goa's selling out to corporate shills and neglecting the OG beach bums who put it on the map.

And let's not forget the canceled Air India flight from London. Thanks, globalists. You've officially ruined Goa. Now it's just another over-priced, over-regulated, virtue-signaling tourist trap.

The Goa government is whining about the “global geopolitical situation.” Translation: “We messed up and now we’re blaming Putin.” Typical.

The lesson here? Free markets, baby. Lower taxes, less regulation, and stop trying to be everything to everyone. Focus on what made Goa great in the first place: cheap thrills and sunshine for the masses. Before it's completely overrun by influencers and bureaucrats.

So raise a glass (of overpriced Kingfisher beer) to the memory of old Goa. May it rest in peace.

Remember, folks, get woke, go broke. And Goa just learned that the hard way. Cope.

RIP Goa. You were good to us. Now you're just another casualty of the culture war. Sad!
