Except the fascists don’t care how we vote.
? Is somebody having a big party? They should raffle it off and give the money to a Canadian cause instead of dumping it out. Maybe it’s just in warehouses for now. I don’t have any preference for American booze, and I don’t drink much, so it doesn’t make any difference to me. If I’m ever buying wine or whiskey, I’m not missing out on a favourite.
I was thinking the same way. Wouldn’t be surprised if some got lost on the way to storage……Unserious-serious question (I’m curious. I know it’s a serious response to the tariffs but what did they do with it?) Where/ to whom is all the American alcohol going? Did they just pour it out
I think they should auction it off to connoisseurs and collectors and put the money into something helpful and impactful. I imagine there are some who’d pay a lot for bottles of some brands they’re missing out on.
Imho, any and all such withdrawn food and beverage should be donated to local foodbanksUnserious-serious question (I’m curious. I know it’s a serious response to the tariffs but what did they do with it?) Where/ to whom is all the American alcohol going? Did they just pour it out
Um, alcohol in food banks? Where a lot of clients have addictions? Not a great plan.
Do you think there's a higher average of alcoholics using the foodbank than those who are not using the food bank?
People can be screened for alcoholism. Healthcare professionals often use quick and effective screening tools to identify unhealthy alcohol use or alcohol use disorder
Food banks are not run by healthcare professionals. They are run by volunteers from many walks of life. Adding another layer to those already in place for recipients of the service absolutely should not be happening. And booze is hardly a staple food group, which is what their focus needs to be.
I think people deserve a treat and to be treated with the same dignity as going to the store. They only get what’s donated, and though volunteers try, it’s not always the most nutritious. People get what they get and I’m sure a bottle of wine given to responsible adults would be welcome now and then - again, they’re free people. It’s not up to anyone to judge. And it’s hard work, and demoralizing, to be poor and treated like children. That said, in my post above, I agreed that it would be bad optics and political fodder for conservatives to dump on poor people. As a social consequence, I think dumping on poor people drives more addiction.
