But There Is No Inflation...

Remember when I described and announced the arrival of "stealth inflation" via the "crapify" maneuver on the part of goods manufacturers?  This one hits home especially hard. 

Distillers of a world famous bourbon has cut its alcohol content so it can meet increasing demand for the drink.

The owners of Maker’s Mark, which is distilled Loretto, Kentucky, said they are unable to produce the bourbon fast enough.

It announced that the bourbon – which used the slogan ‘It tastes expensive… and is’ – will drop its alcohol content by three per cent.

It will now be reduced to 42 per cent ABV from 45 per cent.

And the government insists inflation is nowhere in sight...
