Srs I hope it keeps going . I want people at the corporate level to resign ,although they claim they had no knowledge of the campaign lol.
The only way to convince them that we don’t need critical gay theory shoved up our a$$es is in their pocket book.
Otherwise it will only get worse

It is an unfortunate chain of events, but the fault should not be put on the consumer, but instead the company and the individuals who chose to do evil. Consumers know what they want and need, as well as what they don't want. What they want is a product free from politics, coercion, and negative influence

The company can fix it with a simple statement. They choose not to.
They would rather go under than upset a certain group of people who for the most part, don't even buy their product.

It’s unfortunate the little guy gets hurt, while the people at the top probably gave themselves a pat on the back and a raise for restructuring

Agreed. They chose not to apologize because they are scared to death of the far left. The right will simply boycott them, but the left will use evil to take them down. This boycott was not a collective action either, individual simply chose to distance themselves and not do business with them. There is a big difference between decisions made by the individual, and collectivist actions.

Instead they changed their marketing to appeal to their base again. Coupled with the silence on an apology, this was a smack in the face to the consumer.

Probably too late to fix now. I don't think many people will come back even if they do a complete 180. It's not like it was ever a good product. It just had the name and status as a true American brand.

And didn't sillie pump all his retirement savings into the company as they were bouncing back to the top?

He is a financial wizard after all

People won't stop drinking beer. If Bud is firing, the Modelo factory might need more hands on deck.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

And that is how capitalism works. Demand for other beers will go up, and so will the need for more employees

The stock has stopped falling. Rebounded from $55 a share to $58 a share the past few weeks. Not a huge move but the damage was stopped....for now.

Throughout the entire boycott the stock has really only dropped 20% or so. Not huge in a larger macro stock market view of things.


Just like the left over exaggerates what the right does....the damage to companies like BUD and DIS and TGT has not been as much as the right wing media has portrayed. Lots of it can just be explained by a stagnant to down overall market.

That being said I would expect BUD to fall more after the next earnings report.

Yup, they should have come right out from the beginning and made a legit, sincere apology and changed direction and this would be over. Instead, but muh DEI scores...

Survival. When the jungle tears itself down and builds itself into something new. Guys like you and me, we end up dead. Doesn’t really mean anything. Or, if we happen to live through it, well that doesn’t mean anything either.

Judging by the tantrums you've all been throwing over Bud Light in defense of your tranny, another boycott would probably push you over the edge.
It's a hot night. The mind races. You think about your knife: the only friend who hasn't betrayed you, the only friend who won't be dead by sunup. Sleep tight mates, in your quilted chambray night shirts.

Yea, I didn't think the cultist could give up their chitty beer long enough to have an impact. I was wrong about that. You cultist really made a point destroying the beer that you people swilled like no tomorrow.

Congratulations?
