I wouldn't bet on it at this point.

I wouldn't be surprised if the ole boy has the vast bulk of his fortune tied up in his distributorship, with the (previously logical) assumption that it would always be a surefire cash cow.

This is business. You want people to voluntarily drink a beer that they disagree with the seller on because a guy might get laid off?


Um, no

That’s not what I said

I said that the “little guy” is the one that will get hurt the most

Check my post history, I’m on board with bringing AB down

I hate it for the regular employees and feel bad for them

Saying they will be alright is untrue - layoffs are coming

I do feel bad for those guys, but the one way to effectively fight wokeness is to ruin it financially.

She played an interesting hand for them to call.

We all know corporations tip toe around and go out of their way to protect trannies. White single woman, 2 kids, and backed the trans movement.

It’s a shame that a lot of working class Americans have to bear the brunt. End of the day, there’s always collateral damage in any war. Make no mistake about it… we are in a cultural war for the soul of this country. This kind of shite must made so toxic that no company ever tries to do it again

Well said. In any victory there is sacrifice. At this point any employee of IB should be applying at other companies before being forced to from layoffs. At this point they know its over and not comimg back. Beat the rush of laid off IB workers and go now.

Another point is on top of lost sales forever, a lot of good workers will leave - likely more than needed at fear of unknown - and IB will struggle to get new employees to apply since they offended half the country. Anyone who believes in America will never go work for IB.

That leaves them spoiled soy boys who will never work as hard as the ones leaving or laid off. Will take twice the workers to do same work. Will have to pay higher to even get the soy boys. And more beni’s. Decrease of scale will mean higher cost of all raw products.

Its going to cost IB coming and going. Lost sales are the first cost but all the trailimg costs are going to pile up. This is just the start.

No. Sorry Steve. You don't get it and sound like your corporate partners. It's not one single can. It's been years of this anti-reality rainbow trans non-sense. Consumers had enough. You lose. You get nothing.

"Something something fallen something something deaf ears"

It sucks so many regular folks are losing money/jobs, but these companies have been pushing this evil while those same people say on their hands and were getting fat on the hog. Maybe God is sending them a shot across the bow.

Distributors don't need to reach out to us if "they get it and agree". They need to fight with us against this shite. Go after AB for purposely doing this. We've talked about waiting for stockholders to go after them and others, for being decisions on ESG instead of traditional financials. Now these distributors need to go after them for destroying their businesses on purpose for social engineering purposes.

Exactly, all little Stevie was doing was spewing the company line.

A bit patronizing there Steve, & don't blame us, which is exactly what you're doing, for not buying your trash beer.

That was a marketing failure. You should be blasting AB, fighting with us, not insulting us. Another rich out of touch dumbfrick.
