On one hand, fuck the government of Kentucky and the people who voted for this. On the other my heartfelt sympathy for people who fought against this bullshit and are suffering.
Jim Beam me outta here!
Ain't that a damn shame. The Blue Grass is covered in orange shit. Zero sympathy for the neo-Nazi Kentucky voters and the Japanese at Suntory should consider dumping Jim Beam from the portfolio.
Winning?
Would it be that hard to show numbers on how much us consumption is down, and how much exports are down for this company?
News be trash.
Yeah, they're kinda getting a double whammy, and I'm interested in seeing the breakdown. People are definitely drinking much less these days, gen z are not big drinkers in comparison with how millennials were. And I also have no doubt the economy is playing its role as well.
I feel you, i just never had any idea that this mediocre booze was a big export. You can make alcohol anywhere in the world.I'd be amazed if the old world hadn't already set up a whole market for that stuff
Bourbon is a regionally protected name, like Champagne or Stilton cheese. There are plenty of distilleries making "bourbon-style whiskey", but they can't just call it Bourbon.
better without more of that piss in rotation
I'm not a huge fan of their product either, but it's perfectly serviceable, affordable Bourbon. For someone who likes the occasional drink but has limited income, it beats the hell out of similarly-priced products.
Jim Beam is excellent for the price. It's priced like a plastic bottle liquor, but its a proper bourbon. Not the best, but it's $12 a bottle.
Are there still significant numbers of people that believe Trump understands the economy or are the minority morons just getting louder, with support from Russia? Were they always just 30-50% Russian as per the recent issue identified on r/conservative
It'll magically be "Biden's fault" for all 4 years.
This seems to part of "making America great" (again).
Canada and the U.S. have since agreed to launch formal discussions to review their trade agreement
I don't think that's gonna make a difference anymore. Reverting the 2025 decisions will not revert things. The sentiment has changed among the common people.
It’s abuser logic. “If I stop hitting you, we’re cool. There’s no problem, anymore. That is until I decide to hit you again.”
That doesn’t work on everyone and eventually someone will hit back harder or gang up and take them down. Unfortunately, people let them get away with it for too long.
we need socialism
The funniest thing is that 'all American' Jim Beam is owned by Suntory, a Japanese company.
