Oregon Doom Loop Continues as its 2nd Largest brewery closes down after 37 years
Description
Oregon's second-largest brewery, Rogue Ales, just shut down after 37 years – owing over half a million in rent and taxes. But here's the kicker: this isn't just happening in Oregon. It's a nationwide brewery apocalypse, and guess what's driving it? The same progressive policies that promised to help workers and communities are literally killing the businesses that employ them. We dive into how skyrocketing costs, plummeting beer sales (down 20% since 2020), and anti-business policies in blue states are creating the perfect storm for economic destruction. From Seattle's mayor protesting against Starbucks to Portland's drug decriminalization disaster, we explore how ideological purity trumps economic reality every single time. When your expenses go through the roof but you can only charge so much for a beer, the math stops working – and that's exactly what's happening across America. Are we witnessing the death of craft brewing culture, or just the inevitable result of policies that sound good but destroy livelihoods? What do you think will be the next major industry to collapse under these pressures? Like and subscribe if you're tired of watching common sense businesses get crushed by uncommon nonsense policies!
