That's the problem...majority of shareholders are no longer individuals. They are ETFs, Pension Funds, etc...in bed with liberals

Why? Investors clearly have priced this in and it hasn't affected stock market prices.


CAPON comes in with the dumb, on cue. Budweiser gave a hand job to .03% of the population, very likely alienating at least 50% of their regular customers.

And while we will probably never know the exact numbers, there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell that the decisions made by at least some of these executives will cost the company millions, if not tens of millions of dollars.

They stigmatized the brand. I don’t drink that piss-water, but you can bet the farm that not a single small group of normal male friends will let their buddy live in peace if he breaks out a Bud Light, and rightly so.

The CEO of their North American operations is a former Marine. One would think executives would have to sign off on putting the face of libs of tiktok on their cans.

You're talking several hundred (at the very least) across multiple teams with budget approval of a large non-capex expense. Whoopsie daisy ain't going to cut it.

I’m not defending AB or Bud Lt, but do you people realize it’s one can?

Do you know how easy it would be to make 1 can?

Bud Light isn’t making 12 packs of tranny labeled beer.

Now, Bud Lights silence over the matter is deafening.

I don’t know what to think, to be honest.

Do the minuscule group of drinking age trannies even drink Bud Light? I feel like the group that would love this can probably drinks IPA at craft breweries and wouldn’t dare drink a commercial beer.

Apparently, I should have never quit drinking Keystone from my college days during the early 90s.

If they are furious, a public statement saying so should be announced across all social media.

Can't believe no one has mentioned that this marketing disaster has come right at the height of Crawfish Season!

What a catastrophe!

They can't do that, so if it wasn't approved and it was a rogue person (haha), then they are fricked, and silence is the way to go.

The right will be pissed and talk tough for a week, and then forget about it and eventually start drinking bud light again. Most won't even know bout this controversy because they work 60 hour weeks and aren't on twitter.

The left however will burn you to the fricking ground if you say a word in opposition.

So they will stay silent and just let it go away

Bud Light's strategy is going to go over as well with the Hispanic community as the made up term 'Latinx'

Inbev took over Beck's, my favorite bar beer. Then they made it near impossible for my local bar to acquire it after COVID. I'm done. I already didn't drink their other lame products. Walking away from Becks is easy at this point.

I’ve come to realize “go woke, go broke” is just a cope.it seems these brands just March on unscathed. But if it can ever be true it seems this would be a textbook case. Time will tell.

Not always true. The challenge is a lot of these companies made big bucks during Covid hoax and were flush with cash. Takes time to work through, but now that the Covid funding runs dry and inflation is high its going to catch up. Look at Bed Bath and Beyond the stopped selling My Pillow and went bankrupt. That was an early casualty of the woke wars.

It can and does make a difference if done nationally. Bud made a huge error, after decades of advertising and getting loyal drinkers they shite on them. They made loual customers feel cheated and dirty for ever drinkimg their swill.

I’ll never drink a Bud again in my lifetime. I am not alone. And Bud will not gain as many drinkers as those they threw away. It will take time to work through the system and catch up. They won’t go bankrupt but will lose a lot of market share meaning less say and less workers eventually. They are too big to lose it all. But as profits go away BOD will make changes. Again, patience is key.
