Chris Swonger, chief executive of the Distilled Spirits Council, comments that US-based distillers celebrated “the end of this long tariff nightmare.” Statistics published by the organization reveal that US whiskey exports to Britain declined by 42% since the tariffs’ roll-out in 2018.
“With the removal of the UK’s debilitating retaliatory tariffs on American whiskey exports, US distillers are ready to fire up the stills,” he adds.

do you remember @Dennis3450 the discussions we had (on this thread ?) wnen the “Black Lives Matter” Psychosis came to the fore about 3 years ago ? - when we discussed what would happen to the money these morons garnered ? - Well it seems we now have the baginnings of the answer, although I’m sure neither of us thought these women would be dumb enough just to buy mansions with it - then record the fact on video ! 
I know @cigarmanstan had some input on the tax implications at the time - So naow it seems they have all abandoned the organisation from the perspective of actually “doing anything” and there seem to have been no returns or reporting as required, so the whole thing seems to be “deinquent” but still with a good deal of assets in the organisation and only verbal “promises” as to where that money might be going !
So what happens now ??
Will they be prosecuted and who gets the left over cash ?

like any other corrupt charity organizations they should go to prison if found guilty of fraud.
why not just take the 70%
HOW MUCH CAN NONPROFIT FOUNDERS PAY THEMSELVES?
Under IRS rules, for 501(c)(3) organizations, revenue from the nonprofit cannot inure to the benefit of a shareholder or individual. There is an exception, however, that allows the nonprofit to pay reasonable compensation to employees and others who provide services to the nonprofit. Fleming cautions that “it’s not illegal, per se,” to pay even 90 percent of revenue toward compensation. But, he adds, “obviously, donors want as much money of their donations to go toward the charitable mission.”

Look like we have a history in America of scamming people in the name of a charity
What do we focus on, fixing America’s problems and making it better or just focusing on the problems when it fits our sick agenda?
Either you’re improving the world or you’re making it worse.

a $1.65 spread between gas and diesel ( 75 cents spread is normal in the US) , no war or embargo can explain or justify this
The US economy runs on diesel fuel, this will and is causing the inflation we are experiancing now,
I doubt that the average member of Congress is even aware of this as they seldom go to a gas station

Big Oil execs hammer Dems’ price gouging accusations, say companies don’t ‘control the market price’
Chevron CEO Michael Wirth is coming out swinging Wednesday in front of House Democrats who accuse oil company executives of price gouging.
“I want to be absolutely clear,” Mr. Wirth says in his prepared opening remarks. “We do not control the market price of crude oil or natural gas, nor of refined products like gasoline and diesel fuel, and we have no tolerance for price gouging.”
He’s one of six Big Oil executives ready to turn the tables on Democrats at a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing, as first reported Tuesday by The Washington Times.
Trump Administration Rolls Back Clean Water Protections
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration on Thursday announced the repeal of a major Obama-era clean water regulation that had placed limits on polluting chemicals that could be used near streams, wetlands and other bodies of water.
An immediate effect of the clean water repeal is that polluters will no longer need a permit to discharge potentially harmful substances into many streams and wetlands. But the measure, which is expected to take effect in a matter of weeks, has implications far beyond the pollution that will now be allowed to flow freely into waterways.
Does this really save lives or benefits oil companies
Trump administration rolls back Obama-era fuel efficiency standards
The Trump administration on Tuesday rolled back an Obama-era law that pushes automakers to produce more fuel efficient vehicles, severely limiting a rule designed to decrease pollution from transportation in the face of climate change.
The new rule cuts the year-over-year improvements expected from the auto industry, slashing standards that require automakers to produce fleets that average nearly 55 mpg by 2025. Instead, the Trump rule would bring that number down to about 40 mpg by 2026, bringing mileage below what automakers have said is possible for them to achieve.
Why Trump just killed a rule restricting coal companies from dumping waste in streams
February 14, 2017: H.J.Res.41 - “Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of a rule submitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to ‘Disclosure of Payments by Resource Extraction Issuers’”
This measure rolls back an Obama-era rule that required “resource extraction issuers to disclose payments made to governments for the commercial development of oil, natural gas or minerals.”
The greater of two evils, lmao

Yes diesel takes much less processing than Petrol so should in honesty be cheaper and motors do more mpg on it as well - but it has been vilified by the greenies so “they” jack the price up presumably to discourage usage.
