    They are lowering production, not shutting down. Jim Beam has an enormous domestic market.

    They shut down their main distillery and don't plan to reopen it until 2027.

    The boycott from foreign consumers is real. It's not just Canadians, it's global.

    The bourbon bust is real. Younger consumers aren't buying it and the secondary market is hurting, too. I bought a bottle of Blanton's off the rack for MSRP at my local strip mall liquor store yesterday. That wouldn't have been possible a few years ago.

    True for most alcohol sales... the only ones drinking with regularity will soon be dead or incapable of buying.

    younger consumers have 0 money to spend on goods. when 75% of the paycheck goes to bills, you have nothing left to treat yourself with.

    alcohol industry, restaurant industry and tourism industry about to die and people gon blame the millennials and gen z for it.

    I don't know what your definition of "younger" is but I don't buy expensive liquor unless it's Christmas time or another special occasion. Restaurants are too costly in general, I'd also rather cook and we still take a yearly vacation out of the country. I do feel bad for the Gen-Z's just graduating the past few years, it's a bloodbath out here.

    Now if a person voted for this, congrats on getting ****ed with no grease.

    Always remember something around 90% of Republicans voted for Trump. Within a couple of years they will try to deny it.

    So in touch with the American people aren't they? :eek:

    Meanwhile, Trump was proposing another ridiculous vanity project today on Truth Social.

    He posted another potential change to the Kennedy Center under his watch, posting photos of marble armrests he said could be installed at the performing arts center.

    “Unlike anything ever done or seen before!”

    Gee dumbass, I wonder why you've never seen them before. I guess the Idiot in Chief can't understand why hard cold marble armrests aren't something people would want to lay their arms on for hours. :p

    saw a video the other day where some Asian lady in a grocery store was telling the cashier that she was going to call ICE on her because she was speaking Spanish to another customer in line…

    talking about “this America, we speak English here…only English”

    meanwhile, she had a thick accent and sounded like she could barely speak English her damn self

    this is where this country is at now
