a real win. there will be so much winning. they will say, stop the winning....TN, congratulations on your win. (To TN blue dots, we know you are there, hang tough.)
Actually, in the Canadian province of Ontario ALL alcohol is brought in on consignment by the world’s largest wine and liquor purchaser, the LCBO. So, not so stupid.
Holy 💩
Canadians drink a lot of Jack Daniels! Don’t casually fu€k with Canadians! We can drink you under the table, we have a lot of room to keep backing away from you and we aren’t afraid of the cold 🥶 😂😂😂
They laid these people off in January *before* Trump was president, this figure was taken from a post that's been spreading & is nothing but misinformation, unfortunately.
The steps Canada is taking to boycott American (and in particular MAGA state) goods is significant but nothing to do w/layoffs.
Thank a Republican for the lay offs and the ones to come ,make them aware that they cannot hide from the damage they have allowed ,yes it is the fault of the GOP.
This was in January that the layoff happened and was directly related to post Covid sales drops. The layoffs were at a company that makes the aging barrels. Also company sales to Canada is 1%. The CEO the company can withstand that. This post is just to generate likes and repost…facts matter
I’m a Tennessean, and I feel for Tennessee, but jeez, trump told you what he was going to do. You just didn’t think he meant you, specifically. Make good choices next time.
Jack Daniels laid off 650 employees at one of their barrel making facilities. They also claimed that Canada is 1% of their business.🤔 Let's do the math, shall we!
1% = 650 employees
100% = 65,000
Do they have 65,000 barrel makers?😶
Doubtful...so Canada represents more than 1% of their business. 😉
Interesting fact, Jack Daniel's is made in Lynchburg, TN. The county where Lynchburg is located is a dry county. You can't purchase or consume alcohol there.
I wonder how they get around this law to taste test the product before selling it?
Apparently there is a specific exception for the distillery for tasting. Otherwise no alcohol, not even at home having bought it outside the county. I read that if you do bring any alcohol in (just possession), you need to notify the local state police so you don't get charged with bootlegging. 😱
Now that you say that, Tennessee might be a land-locked kingdom, a bit like the Kingdom of Lesotho surrounded by South Africa.
Related: there are around 80 or so counties across the U.S. in 9 states where booze is verboten.
I knew some counties were "dry" but I thought that just meant you couldn't sell alcohol there. How can it be illegal to own it or consume it? That seems wrong.
America is so weird. And rural Americans love to tell others how they have to live.
No. Please Google & read the article. The layoffs were planned due to back to back poor sales reports in 2024 from GLOBAL sales, not any threatened tarrifs on Canada.
Let's not try to link things that aren't linked just because we want to prove MAGA is awful. They'll do that plenty on their own.
It’s not great, but political slapping is going to hurt people that are indirectly responsible for this. Kentucky is a red state, and tariff threats are going to have backlashes. It’s sad because the people fired will likely not accept that is trumps fault either.
Why buy Jack Daniels - or any Kentucky bourbon / Tennessee whiskey before this present administration quits effing up?
They can complain about it to the guys with the red caps

And as for complaining about a "disproportionate response," NOTHING is "disproportionate" in response to the US cutting off aid and intelligence to Ukraine and inviting Putin to the slaughter. I wonder how many of those employees voted for Trump.

Then LAUGH AND LAUGH and LAUGH- that was last week!

I guess they deserve whatever they get. Sad, though. I wish the MAGAts would all come back to sanity.

Canada accounts for only 1% of sales.

FAFO.
The Boycott is significant & meaningful but not related. This was taken from a widely circulated post that is misinformation.
We never wish anyone strife
(well, maybe just 2 or 3 people) - facts remain important.
I guess they were just smart enough to believe him.
