A deal to end the 41-day government shutdown is running into turbulence, thanks to a single Senate objection: Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.). Senate Republican and Democratic leaders say they need to resolve Paul’s objection to a provision in the government funding package before they can accelerate consideration of the bill. The provision would restrict the unregulated sale of intoxicating hemp-based products.

I don’t know if anyone is saying it’s “killing” the business, but if your bosses are telling you that it hasn’t been harmed, they are lying to you. This is normal, even in a company you love, your bosses will lie to their employees about the state of the business, right up until the day they suddenly surprise you and say sales have crashed and they have to cut back their workforce, it’s as normal in business as business itself.
And nobody is moralizing anything here, so I don’t get the defensiveness, if people rather do cannabis than alcohol, that’s a reflection of social trends towards a substance that is less harmful and less apt to cause hangovers and regrettable texts. I’m just talking about what others are reporting.
“if your bosses are telling you that it hasn’t been harmed, they are lying to you. This is normal, even in a company you love”
Do you really think I need someone with zero experience in my industry to explain to me what is going on as if Im a child? The fact is most of the people drinking less aren’t doing so because cannabis is available as when surveyed most cite costs and health as their reasons.
Setting aside your increasingly absurd defensiveness for a moment,
Yes, I just posted that as actual data. You are getting mad and losing the plot. I don’t care if you have a doctorate in alcohol, I am talking about the intersection of business and politics. Do you not think attacking alcohol alternatives wouldn’t be part of a broad strategy to increase alcohol sales? Do you know how lobbying and business at scale works? Don’t respond like a child and you won’t get talked to like a child.
I won’t see your reply anyway. Have a good one.
