    My understanding, though, as a Canadian, is that refusing to sell Jack Daniel’s is over-stepping, and that they have the unalienable right to be on whatever privately owned shelves and sold in whatever privately owned facilities they wish, regardless of threats made to autonomy or safety.

    All bars who support “having sex for fun” should do this.

    I don’t support sex being limited to marriage and procreation and otherwise shamed… and even outlawed.

      Said every ancient Greek ever. We’ve got a true conservative here, at least in the realm of sexuality between two consenting adults.

      Well I guess that last clause would cause you to be anethema to the modern conservative causes.

    Isn’t there more left leaning voters than right. The right only wins through Gerry mandering. So maybe this is reality catching up with the shitty fake reality we’ve been living.

    Politics skewed people’s view of who exists out there. The majority of people are common sense, we all just live within a block of each other. So politically the consensus looks like it’s trump supporters. Reality is people are more common sense. But the skewed political view made the everytime executive private school class get too comfortable that they started showing their lizard skin and now we see them for what they are and have to pay

      I doubt most of them are in cities, and I have some bad news for you about rural Washington State and Oregon.

        All but 1 on the Washington list are from western WA (the nice half) and the other is from Spokane (hipsters who got priced out of Seattle and Portland)

          Ah, that’s promising. I’d still look into the individual companies before assuming they’re owned by good people, though. The politics of business owners don’t always align with the general population surrounding them.

    Good. Canada pulled it off the shelves. Jack Daniels also funded the anti-suffrage movement in the 1900s they have a long history of being on the bigot side of history.

    They even sponsor the vice president. Or why else would he be called JD Vance?

    They had two options:

    • shut the hell up, change nothing, and continue to be humane
    • virtue-signal that you’re dicks

    These are the one who make the honey booze, right? I’m just coming down with a man-cold - I rode the train without a mask, serves me bloody right - and my supply of elixir is really low. Now what am I gonna do?

    Ooh, this just got real. I’ll report back.

    Thank you for being dicks, JD !!

    Note that Brown Forman also owns the following bourbon/American whiskey brands:

    • Woodford Reserve
    • Old Forester
    • Coopers Craft

    They also own the following European distillers:

    • Slane (Irish Whiskey)
    • Benriach (Scotch)
    • Glendronach (Scotch)
    • Glenglassaugh (Scotch)

    Jack Daniels is obviously their highest volume brand, but some of these other brands are pretty big, too.

      Evan Williams, from Heaven Hill, make a comparable product at a 1/3 of the cost. It doesn’t go through charcoal filtration like JD so it is a bit more complex and not quite as smooth. Heaven Hill does not have the best labor practicesvis a vis their union however

        Heaven Hill makes a lot of good stuff. Too many brands, though.

        I’ve never heard that Heaven Hill isn’t union friendly. I always see their brands on the union-supported lists.

        I don’t have a bottle of Evan Williams at the moment but next time I do I will run some through a Brita water filter just to see what comes out the other side.
