I think it is a discussion point to see that it has lingering effects in the marketplace.
when the discussion is kept on point, i agree, totally...
but when it gets down to the "go woke, go broke" bullshite, etc, that's when it become hypocritical... that's all i'm pointing out...
feel the same way about the far left and the way that a lot of their racial inequality stuff has been... they've swung the pendulum so far, at some points, that they don't see they've become racist, in a way, towards those they are accusing of being racist... it's stupid

You are missing the whole point. The right uses wallets so that companies have a choice. Keep losing money, or change their policies. This is 100% in the free market.
Leftist want the government to ban something or people to lose their jobs or close stores because of policy. They want someone to do the act for them outside of the free market.
Until you understand this concept, you will continue to look like an idiot on this topic.

which is totally fine... but when you are constantly bragging about how you are doing this, it's no better than what the other side does with their self-righteous, elitist tactics... that's all i'm saying...
i'm not saying you are wrong with your assessment... i'm saying that both sides, when it comes to the "talking" part, are cut from the same fricking cloth, and that by continuing to talk about you are "speaking with your wallet", that is the hypocrisy...
so, to sum it up:
speaking with your wallet? fine, totally cool
speaking about speaking with your wallet? no different than the look at me virtue signaling the left does... not fine, not cool...
does that help you understand where i'm coming from?

No one has ever argued that the left is intelligent.

stupid, the right got a little win under their belt by driving down BL's numbers... time to talk about something else for a change, vs. rehashing this same stupid shite every couple of months
It’s not rehashing the same stupid shite. It’s a developing, ongoing story. Bud light sales continue to decline further with each monthly report. More of ABInBev’s products are declining now in Mich Ultra and Budweiser. Bud Light is no longer the #1 beer in the US. Other companies will think long and hard before making a move like BL marketers did.
This is about the ongoing impact of billions of dollars in lost profits and counting, not virtue signaling.

You sound softer than baby shite. This thread is about "NEW WEEKLY SALES LOWS" which means current, as in what's happening now. That's about as "on point" as you can get. Spineless lefty Nola yat.

it's actually a lot better, because it's done fairly and through the free market, and on this particular topic, conservatives are finally getting some traction after years of getting beat down by this shite. the bragging has been hard and well earned. you're jumping through hoops trying to make it the same as what the Left does, and it just isnt the same.

Well said. I see a few “potentially” paid Inbev reps are here trying to distract from the BL fiasco. This is far from over. I see Bud Light is starting a weekly $10k giveaway this summer. And a “tour” going city to city.
Thing is, they could have at least given away the over $1b in real losses they’ve had to some lucky drinker. Or the over $10b in valuation losses. Nope, they live in castles and will throw $10k at the peasants to try and get them back.
I don’t think they realize how many people drank it out of habit and availibility. All they had to do was keep creating funny ads. “They had one job”. And blew it.
But now that people tried other brands they realize how bad BL was. And for that reason alone they lost so many drinkers. This is not counting those who liked it and still moved on, they lost core customers. Forever.
BL had the #1 seller award for decades. I imagine they had a wall of honor at HQ with all these BL plaques. And now at end of year there will be no best seller to hang up. Every time they look at that wall it will remind them of stupidity. Even 20 years from now, they will still see what they lost and never got back.
Most companies fire bad performing employees. Can you imagine being at the top car selling company in the country. And you offend 99% of your core customers. And your business drops 29%. And yet 3 months later you are still drawing a paycheck and only sent home but not fired.
The looney lefties fail to realize it was not just what they did it was a long list of companies doing so majy things over the past few years and people just had enough. And BL was their line in the sand.
But once buyers see how easy it was to just not buy a product from a company who hates you they will start to move that line forward to other companies.
Bed Bath and Beyond went woke and went broke. It wasn’t overnight either but when you lose core customers it hurts.

Another "moderate" that promotes Progressive talking points. Interesting.

Exactly this. Here’s how it’s worked:
Left
After decades of Aunt Jemima on syrup bottles, uncle Ben on rice packages and a native American being on Land O Lakes butter packages and no one saying shite……
*** George Floyd dies***
White guilt consumes leftists and they demand that Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben and the native American be removed b/c they’re SOO oppressive.
Right
Bud Light decides to put D. Mulvaney on a can
BL customer base shrugs and says okay if that is how you choose to market your product I’ll switch to any one of the many options I have and not buy any AB products going forward.
One signals virtue from lib whites to blacks and native Americans that they just know Jemima, Ben and the Indian are offensive and we are fighting to have those removed. The other says hey BL make whatever choices you want to make as a company but I no longer support you.

When Anheuser-Busch decides that this the hill they want to die on, you should ensure that they do.
I will accept nothing less.

I don't give a shite about this beer argument, but your overuse of ellipses like a twelve year old girl and refusal to use proper punctuation, capitalization, and sentence structure is annoying as hell.

Since all of you are worried about the kids and protecting them from trannies, I thought yall would be willing to get something done here.
Cleveland has a missing child epidemic. Last year, on average, 200 kids a month went missing.
35 kids in Ohio were recovered by the US marshalls in May, but with all the energy put into the Bud Light situation, I figured that same energy could be put in this situation and actually help save some kids.

Those numbers in OP are very suspicious. If Bud Light was still selling at 70+% of what they were last year, they wouldn't be giving it away for free at events and at Kroger. They are using some gimmick to make the numbers look not as bad.

What good does posting an article about US Marshals helping local law enforcement agencies do here? Are you saying everyone should join the Marshal service or local law enforcement? I didn't see anything asking for donations or volunteers in what you posted.

Don't forget to add that Progressives/Moderates removed Aunt Jemima DESPITE please from HER OWN FAMILY to keep her name and legacy in tact. White Progs told her family that they knew what was best for her, and erased her legacy.
Amazing, isn't it?

Not really when you understand the mindset of a white leftist. They view life through the prism of feelings of inferiority. They will NEVER admit they feel inferior, but that is precisely what drives their entire psyche.
quote:
Those who are most sensitive about “politically incorrect” terminology are not the average black ghetto- dweller, Asian immigrant, abused woman or disabled person, but a minority of activists, many of whom do not even belong to any “oppressed” group but come from privileged strata of society.
quote:
Many leftists have an intense identification with the problems of groups that have an image of being weak (women), defeated (American Indians), repellent (homosexuals) or otherwise inferior. The leftists themselves feel that these groups are inferior. They would never admit to themselves that they have such feelings, but it is precisely because they do see these groups as inferior that they identify with their problems. (We do not mean to suggest that women, Indians, etc. ARE inferior; we are only making a point about leftist psychology.)
They see black people, Native Americans, etc as inferior...even though most of the people in those demographic groups don't see themselves as being inferior. Thus, the drive to "white knight" for those "inferior" people who don't actually care about the offenses white leftist think they should care about.
It is the height of condescension. But when you are incapable of self-reflection (or just unwilling to engage in it because it would reveal your feeling of inferiority) you are unable to see that fact.
