[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 568898, member: 1211"] By that, I meant that piss trickles down hill. Someone pulls this. Then another. And then somehow, it contaminates the entire pool. It changes the market if it continues to happen. The mainstream makers are well aware of this kind of thing. It can change their perspective on their product and what they think the customer wants or will permit. Not just in pricing, but in additives. I've read that some of the lower cost bourbons already have color additives. I'm sure other crap is already happening, and we aren't aware of it. I don't have a problem with the rich and famous and their spending. Not to get political, I do have a problem with the wage gap, but as for spending, eh. I don't care. When the ultra rich women spend $10K on a pair of shoes, it's all relative. That's pocket change to them. If I was making $100K/day in interest, I surely wouldn't give two hoots about spending $1000 on a bottle of something or $2K on a pipe or $20K on a speaker system or $15K on a Class A stereo amplifier. If I was still looking at money like I do now, I think that would be a little screwy and unfortunate. Isn't one of the benefits of having more money than you know what to do with being able to think differently about money? Gosh, I hope so. [/QUOTE]
