    I had a “Bourbon style Canadian whisky” today and it was pretty good. No idea what brand it was.

    I feel little sympathy for these companies, but I do wish the best for their workers.

      At least those who voted against Trump.

      In Kentucky that is probably not many, though.

        Fair.

        It sucks to find out about your job being in limbo or cut over Christmas, and these people have very little power to influence things.

        That being said, yes, they’re in a red state and I’m so tired of American red states — they’re probably the most gaslighted people on earth.

      …. but I do wish the best for their workers.

      I don’t. Almost 2/3 of votes in Kentucky fell to Trump, a record for that state in a presidential election.

      I wish the best for the workers who aren’t redcaps and, for whatever reason, aren’t able to escape the state (or, increasingly these days, the country). The rest can drown in a vat of Jim Beam. They got what they voted for and they got it hard, as is only just.
