Trade war with Canada has contributed to a significant decline in U.S. liquor sales
Jim Beam, one of the largest makers of American whiskey globally, is shutting down bourbon production at one of its Kentucky distilleries for a year.
The move comes amid Donald Trump’s trade war with Canada, which has contributed to a significant decline in U.S. liquor sales after the country ushered in a boycott of American booze, and as more young adults are cutting back on drinking.
Jim Beam, owned by Suntory Global Spirits, is one of Kentucky’s biggest bourbon producers.
The Bluegrass state’s $9 billion whiskey bourbon industry has been struggling to manage its abundant supply of liquor against the drop in demand.
Seriously, if they voted for Trump in 2024 they are either heartless or brainless. Probably both. Those soulless shells of people have less sense than the dead people they think keep voting for Democrats.
Their kids and disabled family members get my sympathy, but the grownups who chose this? They had it coming.
Include clueless. Watch Mamdani interview NYC Trump supporters on the street. Americans are politically stupid, they vote according to their pocketbook and their vibes, always have.
Brainless and cruel. I know some absolute morons who still vote democratic because they’re fundamentally good people. They don’t hate people on the basis of being gay, or race, so they vote democratic.
