    I would bet that even once American brands are back on the store shelves, a lot of people are not going to go back to buying them.

    “That means hard-working Americans—corn farmers, truckers, distillery workers, barrel makers, bartenders, servers and the communities and businesses built around Kentucky Bourbon will suffer.”

    I think this part was supposed to make us feel sorry for them, but to me this says: “That means that REPUBLICANS will suffer.” Give us some credit, you might know shit about Canada, but Canadians know the demographics of Trump voters.

      God dammit, I hate this deflection. Oh no, you aren’t hurting the company, your hurting the workers.

      Fuck that noise. If our government was doing its job, it would have protections in place for workers.

      Getting on the shelf is no simple task. Getting BACK on the shelf? A lot worse. And all because two spoiled toddlers think their inheritance plus time creating more money means they aren’t dumb motherfucks.

        They didn’t “create” money. They “extracted” it from the working class.

        I think youre underestimating the amount of toddler minds behind all this. But yeah, the main two most visible ones.

        There just a lot more of those toddlers, lot greedier and almost even intelligent idiots behind them curtains who don’t want to be known in any association to the the two most prominent toddlers

      A lot of those hard-working 'Muricans voted for Krasnov, so I wouldn’t worry about ever buying American again. Unfortunately, I’m in the USA, so my options seem to be getting more and more limited. Unless I win a lottery. But I’d have to drive like 100+ km to another state to buy lottery tickets.

        A lot didn’t and are forced in the area. No republican usually crosses 60% of the vote so that means that 1 in 3 people are democrat in Red States.

          I’m in a red state… It’s 27% Democrat here.

          But it doesn’t matter, the gerrymandering ensures that Rs won’t be gone for ages
