    For those of us who were of drinking age in the 1980's, the average liquor store had such a small, pitiful, selection of beers compared to what is available now. This is why so many women in the 1980's would claim that they 'didn't like beer' because our choices were so limited. But with craft beers, and beers coming in all kinds of flavors such as coffee stouts, grapefruit IPAs, berry flavored beers, and citrus, that opened the market up for a new audience.

      Left-wing media outlets always have lionizing stories in the tank for when one of their mediocre politicians dies.
      They still talk about Ted Kennedy like he wasn't molesting interns and drinking 24/7 while on the floor of the senate...
      Donald Trump was found civilly liable for an alleged sexual assault that took place decades ago, but major media outlets won't even interview Tara Reid...
      ... and they certainly didn't have time for Monica Lewinsky, until she produced the blue dress.
      Republican politicians will be prosecuted for crimes that might have been committed decades ago, while Democrats are absolved.

      These two lawmakers reportedly were ‘entertained’ by the Big Beer breweries the moment these brewing behemoths got wind that Cranston and Steiger’s bill was gaining traction in Congress in 76-77. (The two were unfazed.). Big Beer apparently explains why there wasn’t much effort by Congress the previous 60 yrs to legalise home brewing. Barrels of money prolly.

      @Seamonkey555 15 дней назад

      ​​@bngr_bngr didn't home brewing help people stay safely at home while they drank? Comprehensive studies directly linking home brewing with drunk driving trends are scarce. Drunk driving rates are more typically influenced by broader factors such as alcohol availability, public awareness campaigns, legal regulations, and enforcement.
      In short, the effect of home brewing on drunk driving is not well-documented, and other societal factors play a more prominent role in trends related to drunk driving.
      I love craft beer and like those I know we believe there's no situation in which drinking and driving is acceptable.

    “…when I'm in Third World countries, like when I'm in Timbuktu or Mali or Ethiopia, or when I'm in the depths of a desert in southern Sudan, I don't drink local wine, because it can be abominable. So, as an alternative, because we don't drink any sort of water, we drink beer. I do quite often, more so than I do in this country. I don't drink beer much in this country, but when I'm overseas and want to drink something and want to be able to depend on it, I drink a beer”

      Jimmy Carter, for all his faults, was fundamentally a very good person, just completely wrong for the presidency in many ways. His biggest failings were assuming that other people were also fundamentally good, and he suffered from "analysis paralysis," where he was constantly in search of having ALL the data before making a decision. Leaders need to be able to make decisions, and he was generally incapable of getting past the wavering point. Nor was he capable of recognizing bad actors on the international stage - the USSR invading Afghanistan both surprised and shocked him when it was obvious for a long time that it was going to happen.
      Politically, the events that destroyed his chances are reelection were the Iran hostage debacle (where he was unwilling to act), a prime rate over 20%, gas lines, double-digit unemployment, stagflation, and the "malaise" speech where he lectured the nation on what a disappointment we all were to him. He was also easily mocked, the sweaters he constantly wore were unbecoming of the oval office (the press at first found them friendly and unassuming, and then a sign of how unserious he was about the job), and his brother Billy was a sideshow clown for the press and comedians of the day.
      His true calling lay in charity.

      how would you recommend i enter the crypto market? I am also looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What's your take on this approach? and How can i reach her, if you don't mind me asking??
