I wouldn't compare them. Sometimes I want one, sometimes I want another. Also, bourbon is half the price of scotch in the US.

Aren't those aged in bourbon casks? Ok, not the peaty ones.

I'm boycotting bourbon, not because it's american, but because it's disgusting.
I'd rather have a Scottish or Irish malt.

Tariffs only apply to physical goods, not services. And tariffs are usually based on origin, not seller.
The physical goods those produce don't come from the US, so they are mostly safe from tariffs.
We need to have a digital service tax, but that should used to finance the digital commons (e.g. foss projects), not as a trade bargaining chip.

They should aim at Amazon, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, xAI as well.

Please do it, especially red and formerly purple states. It's the only way back. They need to realize what happens when you're an idiot.

I can drink more bourbon to help with the upcoming sales decline.
