Anheuser Busch really stepped in some shite, especially if this extends to bars in big cities across the US.

This should become a lesson for other companies on what not to do. Unfortunately, it won't.

Businesses are created to solve a problem or enhance a person's life. If businesses would focus strictly on why they exist, a lot of what we are seeing today could absolutely be avoided.

So they will lose an additional .17% percent of sales over the 45% they lost?

Totaling 45.17%.















Cool. Thanks gays.

They didn't go far enough to fix the relationship with normal people, and now they've lost the freaks too.

*It's funny because some gay Broadway cast members thinking they were showing solidarity with Dylan put out a TikTok of them all with a Bud-Light can.

I guess they posted that before AB came out with their latest comments?

In a polarized world, companies need to be Switzerland.

AB should have stayed with the Clydesdales and the puppy.

Businesses need to stay out of politics. They have gotten away with it for a while now .

AB should sell their breweries to Schlitz, Falstaff, or Jax.

Just goes to show how much importance these CEOs place on 100 pt ESG scores. Amazing that these guys are willing to screw over their customer base and their stockholders to achieve this.

You hope it will but the ESG platform has been adopted by many corporations. ESG needs to be squashed with a swiftness and I don’t know if it can or will?

This will likely hurt the Alphabet Mafia more than the conservative boycott.

Not in the $$$ sense…they may finally realize that it’s never enough with those psychos.

The business of business should be business.

Stay out of politics, religion, and all social issues.

Glad the left is also punishing them.

All others should learn this free lesson at AB’s expense!

Other than ESG supporting hedge funds and companies, I don't know why their stock price hasn't collapsed, yet.

I guess the real test will be what happens when their earning comes out.

Hey, AB, this is for you!
