Have you ever watched anything by Seth MacFarlane that isn't his space show?

I loving love Seth MacFarlane- Ted was one funny loving movie, Family Guy and American Dad are both still fun watches, Cosmos rebirth was entirely driven and produced by MacFarlane and was universally praised. The Orville is like a funny Star Trek and is awesome in all the best ways. The Cleveland Show was also hilarious. I’m forgetting some other projects, and some were duds like Ted 2 and A million ways to die in the West. But on the whole he makes a lot more good TV than bad.

"I just had a meeting this morning with our Canadian importers, who were here at the distillery, and we're all just scratching our heads, because who in their right mind a few years ago would have envisioned us in a trade war with Canada and the European Union, our closest allies and partners," Peay says.

[...]

Peay says what worries him most is that over the past 10 years the big whiskey distillers in the U.S. have been doubling and tripling capacity in response to the global whiskey boom. "The huge increases in production were really intended to fill the anticipated global demand in Europe, in China, in India and elsewhere," he says.

Dickheads will still drink cheap and crappy Corn Whisky and Bourbon over here anyway, regardless of price. Jack Daniels is probably still the best selling Whisky in the UK and it's more expensive than some pretty solid Scotch, like Talisker. It has a very different taste to the slower and less trendy Scottish stuff, and people who drink premium won't loving care if there are another £15 on a bottle.

I can't finish an evening out without pouring Hakushu down my gullet, which has almost doubled in price in the last year, when it comes to Whiskey people will drink what they want regardless of price.

American Whisky sales in the UK would be pretty inflation-proof I reckon.

quote:

Jimmie Coffer, a machine programmer at the nation’s largest nail-making plant, voted for Donald Trump partly because he was confident he would bring manufacturing jobs back to America.

So the 39-year-old factory worker was shocked last month when 60 of his co-workers were laid off after the Trump administration imposed a 25% tariff on the steel his company imports from Mexico. Now, as his bosses cut back hours and warn they may have to let 200 more workers go in the coming weeks, he worries he may lose his job as a result of the president’s policies.

But Coffer is still gung-ho about Trump.

“I support him 100%,” he said last week. “In fact, I’d like to shake his hand. He’s doing a great job.”

Others accused the company of exaggerating the risks to workers and blamed the firm for importing steel from Mexico.
“Mass layoffs? I don’t believe it’s going to happen,” said Randy Wade, 42, a supervisor for a local vending company, rolling his eyes as he filled a cup with Coca-Cola at the soda fountain.
“If they’re going to do business in Mexico, they kind of deserve it,” he added. “They need to deal with Americans.”

“This has nothing to do with tariffs — or Trump,” Mark Orton, the owner of Bluff Barber Shop, said as he dabbed shaving foam on a customer’s face. “It’s smoke and mirrors. This Mexican company is just trying to blame Trump.”
His client, a red-headed factory worker who declined to give his name, blamed politicians and newspapers for “banging on” Trump.
“They can’t say anything nice about him,” he griped. “If Trump ran into a burning building to pull out children, they’d say he’s hurting firefighters.”

I don’t have the link handy, but polling hat recently came out has showed that both Obama and Trump buck past presidential opinion polling trends.

Generally, consumer confidence and employment run right alongside presidential approval. With Obama, that was less true. With Trump, very much less true.
