I haven’t been a buyer for eight years now but this was a perpetual issue in parts of the country. I was blown away when I found out it was a bargain brand as in Boston where I first tried Bulleit it was more expensive than Evan William’s vintage release (RIP). I just thought they were chasing JD in that whole image driven brand rather than good quality to price ratio

No it was $9 more at wholesale in NY than in retail in KY. It was almost twice the price on my shelf than yours in FL

Jack and Ginger ale is such an incredibly common drink for lesbians in NYC that I have managed to convince two lesbian cashiers I have worked with to successfully pursue women they were interested in because they bought JD from us while holding ginger ale.

Nothing about the Lincoln County process violates the definition

Sour mash vs sweet mash have to do with how you make your whiskey. It isn’t a designation for bourbon styled whiskies made outside KY.

No, Bourbon can be made anywhere in the USA.

Go look up the legal definition.

Depending on your local brand it might be supporting a bigger company anyways. Dickel is filling a ton of “local” producer’s offerings.

Bulleit was a bullshit brand in NYC. At top deal in 2016 I was paying $27 wholesale for a 750ml on a 2 case purchase (24 bottles total). That put it on the shelf at $35-40 depending on your markup (it’s NYC so it’s even more expensive than the rest of NY)

In most states the top deal was 56 cases and in most states that bottle sold at retail for $9 less than I paid wholesale.

They are a shit brand with hostile pricing made for a bigot. Fuck bulleit.

Gluten weighs so much more than alcohol that Im baffled as to how it would remain in solution in alcohol. It should be separated in distillation.

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

Asking AIPAC for money to not support this

During shutdown one church had a laptop on the lectern as the priest had been exposed to Covid through their husband and did the service over zoom to the congregation at home

The poster above you provided a link.BYD contracted a Chinese construction firm to build a factory in Brazil that the Brazilian labor authorities shuttered over the slave like working conditions.

All of my family’s churches stream services on youtube. Most started during COVID and never stopped.

As all inmates have the right to a fair trial and every death penalty inmate appeals at every possible turn. This is 100% paid for by the taxpayer and makes executing people more expensive than housing them for their entire life. Any attempt to reduce this cost is met by an increase in likely unjust executions.

Your view is essentially “the death penalty exists so it is right” which is not a logically derived opinion. I don’t think you should talk about other people’s circular logic while avoiding recognizing your own.

I met a black man who was on death row for 14 years for the rape and murder of a white girl. The judge, prosecutor, and public defender all ignored evidence of her body being covered in strawberry blonde pubic hair which this man being black does not have. Thus he spent 14 years and was almost executed twice because everyone involved conspired to have him be convicted. Everyone involved got off scot free and no one faced any punishment for deciding to murder this guy because no one wanted to follow up on the evidence the police gathered.

I don’t know why anyone who considers themselves to be rational would support the death penalty when you know irrational and stupid people exist.

Source on slave labor at BYD?

Would you say Vance isn’t a bigot?

Not offering someone a guest spot on your show isn’t deplatforming them. They aren’t the same thing.

Three of them come from someone who has been around a while but hasn’t commented much. The ratio of downvotes makes me think they took an unpopular position and deleted their comments
