Related: About this forumGo MAGA, Go Broke? Major Kentucky Distillery Stops Production - The Logical Leftist
Jim Beams parent company has dropped a bombshell on the Kentucky economy, announcing a total production shutdown at their Boston, KY facility for the entirety of 2026. While corporate statements cite "upgrades," hundreds of workers in this deep-red state are now facing a year of uncertainty.
In this video, we break down the economic reality hitting Mitch McConnells backyard. Is this another example of "Go MAGA, Go Broke"? We look at the facts behind the shutdown, the impact on rural labor, and how the instability of red-state governance continues to fail the very manufacturing workers it claims to protect.

The only thing that upsets me is that there's only hundreds of workers affected.

Trump, his administration, and his supporters are to blame.
Maybe stop threatening and punishing our allies would be helpful.
Wake up and stop voting against your best interests or get use to the destruction.
