Not political? Maybe it's time to start...

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 48 points 5 days ago

These stupid fucking morons don't even understand that politics is going to affect them, whether they're interested in politics or not.

“We’re not in politics. We’re just some guys in Virginia making good whisky. But unfortunately, we’re the victims.”

Can we take a guess about the result of the election by the people in Nelson County, where the Virginia Distillery Co is based?

There is no such thing as “not in politics”.

It’s also that many are deciding not to visit the United States, dealing a blow to countless resorts and travel businesses that once relied on a steady stream of Canadian visitors.

On a normal year, roughly 70% of the daily golfers at the Bluff Point Golf Resort in Plattsburgh, New York are Canadians. Not this year.

“It’s been a dramatic drop. It’s very rare that we see someone pull in to play golf that’s coming from Canada,” said Paul Dame, owner of Bluff Point Golf Resort, which is located just 35 minutes from downtown Montreal.

No shit, Sherlock. Are YOU going to go to a country where there's a substantial chance you could be arrested and indefinitely detained and maybe sent to a gulag in some third country?

“The tough thing for us is, it’s nothing we’ve done."

If you voted for Trump, or chose not to vote at all, then it you sure as fuck deserve your share of the blame.

Given the location, that's probably Trump country. Outside of the NYC and Buffalo areas, New York state is pretty red.

I like this idea of a merger. Can the US be the 11th province?

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Don't do that. You folks already have enough of a fascist problem of your own.
