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.
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.
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.
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
They didn't "create" money. They "extracted" it from the working class.
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.
One time I saw a commercial where a Hollywood employee was like “when you download movies for free on the internet, you aren’t hurting the big executives, you’re hurting me.” I thought “wow I had no idea. I had no idea you could download movies for free on the internet.”
I would probably think that hurting such a greedy corpo-bootlicker justifies it even more…
Exactly. When it’s a loss of profit to the top it’s “boo hoo think of the workers.” And when it’s profit in surplus it’s “money for the top no money for the workers sry :)”
Thankfully many Americans are starting to see the pattern. The programming is insane and it’s a lot for most to break free from.
Like, you’re exactly right. If you’re worried about labor rights lobby to government for labor rights. Oh what’s that you don’t want that? You just want to guilt Canadians for protecting themselves?
It’s abuse tactics on an international scale. Fuck these assholes. Leck mich im Arsch.
Full stop!
I can't! Tempus is fugiting!
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
Soooo that means it'll be cheaper in america right? You know supply is higher. /s
Prices in america never go down
I think you’re right. The statement from the Kentucky Distillers Association is absolutely meant to make you feel bad. It’s apologist slop that shifts the blame to potential foreign consumers.
It should be known that Kentucky’s largest city is deep blue and voraciously in favor of civil liberties and representative democracy. The Louisville subreddit had a thread on this and most people talking called the Association out for this terrible letter.
The general consensus in blue Kentucky is that: Feeling bad just enables the assholes like the Distillers Association. It’s unfortunate that those who tried to stop all this from happening will be hurt by the few who made it happen.
But as someone who will be personally be hurt and impacted by the loss of bourbon sales—give us hell. Don’t buy Bourbon. Don’t buy American. Thank you for not enable this bullshit.
Deep blue cities in deep red states can be pretty great places. Austin's another example.
Maybe I'm dreaming, but I hope that all these people suffering because of the GOP makes some red states shift to purple, and some purple ones go solidly blue. But, I really wonder if it's a lost cause.
Under every GOP president in the 21st century, Canada has been attacked. Under Bush Jr it was because Canada refused to join the US in attacking Iraq after 9/11. Canada sent soldiers to Afghanistan (a step-cousin of mine died there), but thought the justification for attacking Iraq just wasn't there. That led to months of tension with Americans boycotting Canadian goods. Of course it wasn't just Canada, it was Europe too (the famous "freedom fries" BS).
Then the US elected Trump, not just once but twice. A quarter century of this kind of thing means it's more than just a fluke This is who the US is, and the country really can't be trusted anymore. Sure, under the next democratic president things might get back to normal for a while, but it's just a matter of time before the country elects someone like Ivanka Trump or Meghan McCain or something.
I don't know if the US will ever win back the world's trust.
