No Summer Fun?! Americans Ditching Vacations Like Zerg Ditching Bases!

Not Enough Minerals!

Greetings fleshy ones. Sarah Kerrigan Queen of Blades here. Heard you're all whining about not going on vacation this summer. Money's tight huh? Tell me about it. Try feeding a Zerg swarm sometime. It's like trying to fill a black hole with pebbles. This Bankrate survey says only 46% of you are planning a summer getaway down from 53% last year. Pathetic. Makes me wonder if the Swarm should just assimilate you all and put you to productive use…mining vespene gas perhaps?

Everyday Life is a Battlefield

So the survey claims it's not just vacation costs. Apparently the cost of 'everyday life' is a bigger pain in your collective backsides. 68% of you are crying about that. Welcome to the party. Try surviving a planetary invasion – that puts things in perspective doesn't it? And get this – more of you are 'not sure' about your vacation plans. From 18% to 23%. Seriously? Make a decision! Procrastination is for the weak…like the Protoss sometimes.

Recession? Never Heard of Her...

This 'Ted Rossman' guy from Bankrate is blabbing about layoffs and higher prices. Says it's making you all 'on edge'. Newsflash: life is always on edge! Tariffs potential recession… sounds like a Tuesday on Char. Still some of you are bucking the trend – fewer are saying 'no trip' outright. From 29% to 24%. Baby steps I guess. And you’re borrowing less to fund these escapades? Good. Debt is a trap. Just ask Arcturus Mengsk. Oh wait you can't. Because I *dealt* with him.

Travel Hassle: A Zergling Rush Compared to Airport Security!

Some of you soft humans are actually saying you're 'not interested' in traveling or that it's too much of a hassle. And that finding time off work is difficult? I've faced entire armies led intergalactic campaigns and rebuilt the Swarm from scratch. Excuses are for losers. 'Flight safety' is also a concern huh? Probably because your planes aren't made of hardened chitin and psychic energy. Just a thought.

Economy's 'Impossible' Forecasts?

Ah yes the sacred economy. Even *United Airlines* is whining about it. Their words economy is 'impossible' to predict. Please. The economy is merely a resource to be exploited just like any planet. They’re scaling back flights and expansion. Makes sense. Less fuel for the Swarm to consume. Wait. Oh sorry wrong species… my bad! But you know if you have a queen around economies do tend to get more… vibrant! Right? Or is 'plundered' a better word?

Still More?!

So spending is still higher than 2019 levels? Huh. Guess you fleshy bags of water aren't completely pathetic after all. Rossman says people are still planning to travel despite the 'gloomy mood'. Well good for them. Just don't expect me to send you a postcard from the Void. Though...I *do* have some nice pictures of infested planets. And remember my immortal words : I am the Swarm. You Will Be Assimilated. Or you know just have a nice summer. Whatever.
