Can anyone recommend some fun spirits? Looking to scratch that bourbon itch...

I love this thread, there's a huge hole in my cancon podcasts!
An index doesn't necessarily mean it's "what percentage of the economy is affected by trade." But without the source, it's hard to say what exactly it is a percentage of.
What? Ukraine was first invaded before trump and then again without him there. In both cases, the security provided was less than what was originally guaranteed. Ukraine got screwed by believing America.
It's not just trump, there's a whole Senate and Congress cheering him on. I would not gamble our future by relying on it to only be a trump phenomenon. If Americans had elected him once and horrified of their mistake, never came close again, that'd be one thing. But we has elected with a plurarlity of votes.
America has proven an untrustworthy ally and that thwir promises aren't worth the paper their written in.
I don't think Canada's security should be "well, let's just hope they don't do it yet again!"
Lifetime warranty AND Canadian? Amazing! The ones I really like are sold out but I think I'll be placing an order for when they're ready!
If our European friends want to start a made in Europe defense plan, ordering a boatload of next generation fighter jets from them seems helpful...
I think you might be missing a few things.
First, sure there's probably some minor feedback but really, outside of luxury goods (which neither Apple or Google are at this point) more customers is seen as better by investors/the market.
Yes, the market is all theatre but amazingly, it's theatrics to which a great deal of attention is paid. The more share prices of magnificent 7 stocks drop, the more that affects those who have actual power and influence.
Heck, forget abandoning smartphones, living in a cave would be the ultimate way to not contribute to America. But most folks want to balance their morals with a functional life, which for many includes a smartphone.
If you want to slap back, instead of trying desperately to convince maybe a handful of folks to switch to dumb phones over tarrifs, much better to help a lot of people make incremental but helpful changes.
It's wild how many of trump's decisions are exactly what Putin wants.
Totally fair, but maybe we advocate for pirating it? I agree with you it's important to know what the enemy is thinking etc (also, in less apocalyptic terms, I agree with JSM "He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that.") but I don't wouldn't advocate people pay and support those American companies.
Republicans have majorities in both houses, if they can't pass a spending bill, that's on them.
Lol, I'm not sure I'd take "people jot wanting to talk with me after I gwt increasingly silly" as a victory but hey, if that makes you happy, cool?
Just, thank you. That's super touching. Times lile these it really brightens the heart to see the support from our friends across the world.
