This is in response to the European Union's state aid to mostly Airbus aeroplanes making them cheaper than Boeings.
Therefore stock up on Malt Scotch Whisky NOW!!
In retaliation should I now add a 25% Tariff to all customers from the United States??
Of course not we are a bit more civilized!!

With winter coming all British cashmere clothes will have the 25% tariff added as well.
So it will cost you more to keep warm on the outside as well as the inside!!

Right around then, on warmer days, an enterprising young man already in Brooklyn would buy a large block of ice (that would otherwise have gone into something called an "ice box") and drag it to the racetrack (where people were throwing their money away and were, therefor, likely to be an easy sale) and sell chips of ice for ten cents each.
Good head for business.
During his WW2 army service, he noticed that, every time the USO truck would arrive, guys would line-up to buy the donuts. After the war, he opened a shop, and called it Dunkin' Donuts.
Good head for business.
Slapping tariffs (why is it always "slapping"?) on allies? Ignoring everything we understand about wealth creation thru Comparative Advantage?
Not a good head for business.

Canadian Crown Royal tastes better than Jamieson, and it’s cheaper. Which is good. But I only drink when the evening news is disturbing.

Bob,
I like Crown Royal too! I think they're about the same price here.

Crown Royal is rye whiskey, Jamieson is Irish whiskey.

Since the topic seems to be alcoholic beverages and we all like old stuff...
In my local group for Keyport, NJ, someone posted that they took down the plaster and lathe ceiling in their very old house and found a burlap sack with a dozen bottles covered with straw.....
and a dozen bottles of gin emerged! They think these date back to prohibition in the 1920s. No mention if they tasted any or checked to see if it was still good! Still, a very interesting find.

This is kinda off-topic, but here goes:
When my father-in-law died, my wife received several items that had been in the family for decades. Among them was a framed, not-very-good charcoal drawing of my mother-in-law as a young woman. My wife didn't like the drawing at all, but the frame was in good condition, so I took it apart and found this print behind the drawing:
We believe that my father-in-law, who graduated from college in 1938, had been one of "Lucky Lindy's" millions of admirers. In searching for information about the print and learned that it had been made into a rather intricate jig-saw puzzle:
It's quite an amateur painting (although better than I could do!), but its familial provenance makes it a keeper!

Be careful about tasting any booze that dates from the prohibition era. Some of it was tainted with methanol following on some bizarre notion that this would inhibit people from drinking it. Denaturing formulas included some tasty stuff like kerosene, brucine (strychnine relative), gasoline, benzene, cadmium, iodine, zinc, mercury salts, formaldehyde, chloroform, camphor, and acetone.

It was announced today that the United States Government is going to put a 25% tariff on Malt Scotch Whisky later this month. (part of 17.6 billion dollar extra tariffs on goods from the EU ).
This is in response to the European Union's state aid to mostly Airbus aeroplanes making them cheaper than Boeings.
Therefore stock up on Malt Scotch Whisky NOW!!
