Nine Licences Pulled After Tour Guide's Third Strike

A tour guide and the two agencies behind her got their licences pulled today. This is the same guide from a few weeks back, the one who cornered a tour group and threatened them until they bought jade. Three strikes and you're out, and today the Travel Industry Council finally said "out."

Here's the thing worth knowing: this system usually looks slow and toothless, three warnings, paperwork, more warnings. But it ends somewhere. The guide's badge is gone. So are the agencies that kept sending her out. Compare that to the driverless car rules from last week, five clean years before a human can even sit next to the machine. One system waits five years to trust you. The other took three strikes to stop trusting you. Same government, two very different clocks, and today you got to see one of them actually run out.
