Without looking, I would guess that these are small markets with a somewhat fragile microbrewery ecosystem that may not be able to stand up to the wave of product about to come crashing in from Ontario and BC.

This is America. This is the foundation that holds up the Trump government and the Republican Party.
A new DOJ memo argues that immigration judges can be stripped of civil service protections. That could lay the groundwork for firing them if they don’t rule the “right” way.
I'd love it if people could get good internet without throwing up all that space junk. Elon's been dropping satellites on peoples heads lately, his orbital toasters are leaking so much radiation that they're ruining radio astronomy, and the satellite mesh has gotten dense enough that it's seriously imposing earthbound visual astronomy.
So that people can have Netflicks and porn.
Public, terrestrial internet infrastructure, or bust.
Those communities are all on different websites. Different websites, with different user-bases, and different governing rules. They are not the same space, in any way, shape, or form, and you should not imagine them to be.
There's no need to want them to be, either. Content of interest to one will likely be of interest to the others, and will find its way to them. Content that is only of interest to one but not the others does not need to be seen by all.
Let go of the FOMO. It's not serving you.
Never have, never will.
So, here's the funny thing about "never will". It's not a promise you can go back on. "Never will" means "forever won't".
Changing that language is a breech of trust. Getting all "nuanced" and weasel-wordy about it doesn't change that.
Folks should start looking into whether the previous promise is legally binding in any way, and start preparing for a class action suit if it is. Because Mozilla's better dead than it is as zombie smoke screen for this horse shit.
Isn't it, though? Isn't this how the USA has treated most countries smaller than it? Less wealthy than it? Less white than it?
Growing up outside of the US, this behaviour seems completely in line with how the country has always behaved on the international stage, just pointed at one of the "good" countries.
Trump is the average Murica, Fuck Yeah type that we meet online all of the time, and have for the past 30+ years. He's the Yankee tourist that comes into our towns and expects us to accept their foreign currency, weather their patronizing questions, and cater to their idiosyncratic demands.
Trump doesn't seem like a surprise to us. He seems like the natural outcome of a country that has tooted its own horn on the world stage for 80 years, that has glorified its military and its military might, that has waved the phrase "American Exceptionalism" at its own population without irony, and that long mythologized its history. Remember, fascism was popular in the US 90 years ago. The only problem y'all had with the Nazis was that they were German. I mean, if you use Ur-Fascism as a checklist, the USA checks off most of the boxes on a good year.
You might not be cognizant of that, but many of us living outside your borders very much are.
I don't like what I see in the mirror most days, either. But I don't get to deny the grey hairs and aging face. I sure as hell don't go out in public shouting to the world "I'm not getting old; this greying, overweight man isn't me!"
The con they got suckered into is American Exceptionalism, and it's not Trumppy that suckered them. He's a victim of the same brainrot.
These guys are reveling in it, and I have no sympathy for those that choose "we're just better than everyone else" as part of their core identity.
