When your product marketing celebrates fecal anus sex, do not expect much support.

Dear DEI Coercer:

The Big Corporation wishes to enjoy the broadest possible customer base. Our paying customers will always be our key priority. This means that Big Corporation will be minding its own business from now on and will not butt into social and political matters. We need to be able to provide reliable employment and medical benefits to our diverse and inclusive workforce.

Once enough pain has been inflicted the word will go out from the troops in the field to the investor that this ESD crap needs to end. This is the only way to impress on the “powers that be” that enough is enough.

Everything is violence to leftists except actual violence perpetrated by THEM. And it’s their go-to argument for everything.

What conciliatory gestures would have possibly angered the left? Bringing back Clydesdales? Camo bottles? That’s not conciliatory; that’s changing the subject.

OK, so it’s hard on the little guy. But the perverted left fails to see (more likely doesn’t care) that the fault lies with the bosses of the little guy. The welfare of, and opportunities for, AB employees is AB’s responsibility - not the consumers’.

AB insults us with their perversion and somehow makes their sales loss our responsibility? Because why? Because we owe it to them to pay for and eat the sh!t sandwiches they serve?

Is anyone on the left EVER to blame for their own actions?

They really should. You can make a catastrophically counterproductive attempt to boost sales tactics, but Heineyshied didn’t fail at what she was attempting to do, she was trying to do something that was contrary to the interests of promoting sales.

Owning a beer distributorship is about as close as you can get to printing your own money. I’m much less sympathetic to people like that after the massive upwards transfer of wealth during Covid.

In politics, winner takes all.

In economics, every person has a say after election day.

AB chose to side with .2% instead of 99.8% of its customers. That was a bad decision.

This is true.

The local distributor (Bama Budweiser) in Montgomery AL has been running commentary ads on local radio groveling with people to buy their products.

Perhaps distributors might be able to sue AB for negligence(?) or dereliction of duty(?).

They should consult lawyers. Fifteen minute consults are often free.

Employees always suffer when management makes stupid decisions. Nothing to see here.

I was at a graduation party today and half the fridge was filled with BL. People were laughing it was being offered. The host, surprisingly a red blood republican red neck said he bought because he said well people still drink it, and everyone was like.....um, no they don’t. Was at least worth a good laugh.

BL broke the business rule of Know they customer. Their fault and should go back to business school.

Are there any sit-down Pizza Huts left? I used to like their lunch buffet.

Here are two just in the Detroit area. They are scattered throughout the country. The one near me just brought back the lunch buffet.

Sadly Sam Adams (Boston Brewing Company) caved in to the gaystapo a few years ago.

For years they sponsored Boston’s St Patrick’s day parade. The lgbtwhatever social deviants wanted to be in the parade, the organizers refused, the gaystapo threatened SA/BBC with a boycott. SA/BBC tucked their collective Mr Winkie between their legs and pulled sponsorship of the parade until the freaks were allowed.

I never liked Budweiser or Bud Light.

Truth be told, I liked Schlitz back in the day.
