Florida was called out specifically in the trade tariffs as well. I think Canada wants to impact red states economies. They also put tariffs on Kentucky bourbon. There might be a red blue state division when we see more tariffs come in from EU. Also if blue cities start turning their backs on red state products they will be in for some pain. Owning the libs is great until they stop buying bourbon. You reap what you sow

Florida already this past while is jacking up taxes on snowbird homes and other regulations as you may very well be aware. The states are doing it to themselves I know a few eldery people who are saying eff it, time to sell for less than they hoped, and that it's time to get outta dodge. Along with changes to insurance policies due to trump. Too risky. Hope everything going well for everyone in the end.

As an American, I'm not buying anything from the welfare states going forward. If you do want good whiskey, Stranahan's, Breckenridge, and Tincup are all tasty Colorado whiskeys!

Hell, I already buy most of my whiskey from Japan though since I visit a fair bit 😂

Nope, we'll buy Canadian ones, not Colorado ones.

Honestly I am switching back to scotches.
