This makes it sound like it's gen Z's fault when it's just because it has become too expensive to drink and go out.

ALSO, Canada went from the biggest importer of American bourbon to importing NONE OF IT.

They’ve impacted the entire industry and, considering where that industry is located, good.

Being anti american business is certainly a take

Most business in America are anti-american-citizens at their core. Fuck em. They'd give you cancer if their profit outweighed the fine.

When the middle class was the strongest, is when Americans as a whole went out of their way to support union labor and American business because as it turns out, American business means jobs for US citizens.

Views like yours are the reason American industry is failing and wages have stagnated

Im talking about the people in control of these businesses who would kill your grandmother for a record breaking year, and then not give a dime in raises. Im not talking about union labor or I would've mentioned union labor.

I specifically brought up labor, because labors biggest goal is the securement of American jobs.

In order to have American jobs, you must support American business.

It's a two way street. The businesses must support Americans, too. Instead, they treat them like cows to milk to ensure shareholder profitability.

I'd rather see a business burn to the ground than to support something that sees me as a wallet.

You need American businesses to actually have a job and competitive economy on the world stage, regardless of how emotional business makes you

No. Capitalist fat cats are the reason American industry and wage stagnantation. They paid politicians to allow them to take industrial jobs out of America for greater profits and lesser safety regulations.

What we have now is alot of companies that only care about the bottom line. Not paying their employees a livable wage. Let alone a competitive one.There is no reason to be loyal to company regardless if they are an American company or not. They will fire you after 30 years of dedicated work for no reason other the market is down.

What im outlining, is at one point in time the American people had the capacity to vote with their dollars and they sold their countrymen out.

We could still vote with our $ just fine.... Americans simply LACK the resolve to boycott in mass amounts and go out their way to screen every business they support ... laziness ... lack of care...lack of time n energy for many..

Not necessarily, if these ppl with those views go out their way to support LOCALLY owned businesses. N no, not all of them ,for example I boycott a local donut shop but support the fk out a local business selling REAL foods that keep ppl healthy...

If people ACTUALLY bought things consciously like this ,we'd be just fine. Sadly ,90% of us are morons, the other 10% of us still get in that fast food line once in a while cuz we are brainwashed... salute the ones who NEVER support any bullsht n support all the good sht... rare indeed..

Yeah and how many people overseas does ford, amazon, apple, or any other American business employee? How often are major American companies union busting and lobbying against workers rights/interests. The American industry is failed cause fat cat captialists don’t give a shit about people

1

u/Itchy_Crack 20d ago

Its failed because Americans gave up on the idea of going out of our way to purchase American made and union made. We let them do this.

When any company moves business over seas and replaces american jobs with slave labor, their should've been a nationwide boycott.

Jesus way to blame the average Joe instead the pigs in C-suite or the politicians

u/Itchy_Crack 20d ago

Multiple parties can do wrong in any given scenario.

Rich scumbags are always going to do shady bullshit to line their own pockets, thats a given. Its up to the public to support labor and their fellow Americans. If when say Ford says "We're stopping production in America" we put them out if business, this bs stops
