I also want to be 100% clear that I treated BOTH Jenny Cohn and Gil Duran very well. I supported and credited and cited and boosted both of their work and gave them what I could. I took both of them separately out to eat and meet in Cali, and I grabbed the check. I don't deserve this. At all.

Shot - chaser. What changed Natalie? Thought Trump was going to be good for your wine? www.sacbee.com/food-drink/a...
Natalie Collins, president of the California Association of Winegrape Growers, said tariffs on competing wines could help local wine growers. 

Bruce Lundquist, co-founder of Rack & Riddle, which he said is the largest custom producer of sparkling wine in the nation, agreed with Collins: “I wish Americans would look at wines grown in their backyard.”

https://www.newsfromthestates.com/article/how-trump-tariffs-could-upend-california-farms-wine-businesses-and-portsNatalie Collins, president of the California Association of Winegrape Growers, referred to what is happening to the wine industry as “death by a thousand cuts,” saying the Canada piece is “definitely one of them.” “We have spent decades building relationships (to Canada) with family grapegrowers and winemakers and seeing everything fall apart over no fault of our industry has been devastating,” Collins said.

This presumes something false: That social media platforms are actually a digital marketplace of ideas wherein robust debate occurs that changes the minds of those so engaged. Horseshit. Shards of rhetoric turn no one. This platform can gather, rally and encourage the sentient and sane. That's it.
