So you can drink an entire case of horse piss or one quality beer or ale. I will drink one thanks.
That 70% still remaining may be due to contracts that haven’t expired yet ...
“I guess you could look at it from the other side. Bud Light has somehow retained 70% of their sales.”
I trust the only 30% decrease from last year about as much as I trust the FBI. I see NO ONE buying or drinking Bud Light anymore, and not Bud Light litter cans. Taking a guess, it’s probably down 75-80%, but don’t expect to get real figures.
There has to be a bigger reason they intentionally tanked their company. There has to be a reason Target, Disney, Ford, etc. are following the same business tactic.
Why should companies play the game? It sure isn’t helping boost sales or profits their shareholders.
“I switched from Corona to XX”
XX is one of the few Mexican Beers that isn’t AB owned. Corona, Modello, Victoria and Pacifico all are no go. I kind of like Pacifico.
My wife, who knows all about the boycott, bought a case the other day. It was practically free.
She uses it to attract, catch and drown the slugs which are overrunning her gardens. The slimy slugs seem to like it to death.
Having said that, she agrees she should have gotten a different brand and not been so cruel to the slugs.
Yet the ceo still has their job. Just like Disney ceo has their job. Who is paying off the boards of these companies?
Go local with each and every purchase of goods and services whenever possible.... EVERYTHING! Hold them all accountable. Be clear about your values.
Laugh it off. My frustration level has subsequently decreased. I do not need or want any of them.
Each company's management is obviously infected by the Woke ideology and is also under pressure from internal Woke elements on the board and elsewhere. And each company would/could be under external pressure from some Woke institutional investors like BlackRock.
But, despite that pressure, could anyone in marketing and the C-Suites sincerely believe that such actions would lead to financial success? Under normal circumstances, the answer to that question would be a resounding "NO." No sane manager could believe these actions could be profitable...but perhaps this is a case of mass insanity. Hard to believe that business people could be vulnerable to mass insanity when the customers and markets are there to keep them sane, but who the hell knows?
I have given up trying to ascribe a sane motive to their actions and have started grasping at straws.
We know that the Woke Movement is a Marxist front. So the only--the last--possibility is that this is some kind of pro-Marxist statement.
I realize that doesn't make sense. But nothing makes sense.;-)
It is quite possible that Marxist/Woke indoctrination burned like a wildfire in academia, K-12 education, government, science, the media, entertainment, etc., because there were no natural barriers to stop it.
Then it proceeded to infect businesses and even shareholder institutions.
That's where this mass indoctrination finally hit its first REAL natural barrier--the customer.
Managers in these companies, being thoroughly indoctrinated with this Woke madness actually thought the customers would eat it up. Sure, some old timers would walk away, but the millions and millions of Wokesters would love it.
But, there was a flaw in their thinking because there was a flaw in their indoctrination.
The masses AREN'T Woke.
Management in these companies were lied to by their indoctrinators...and they lied to each other in their Woke echo chambers. They came to believe that nearly everyone was Woke except for a handful of rubes out in the countryside. They were indoctrinated to believe that Woke was the future and by becoming Woke they would be leading the way into that future.
They were delusional. And now they must be in a state of shock. They must be staring at each other with mouths agape...wondering what the hell went wrong.
