Correct; they have carefully calculated costs/risks/benefit, and concluded that the best path was to push an insincere apology than to do anything meaningful. They’re ethically bankrupt. This was revealed with pushing a pervert on us, and is now underscored with this ‘action’. Never liked Bud, but would manage to drink it if offered, just to be polite. Never again.

Well said. I concur with your observations, even though as nearly 35 years sober, I’m not a customer anyway. I noticed an alpha male dominated Budweiser product ad as I perused the ballgames this weekend. They know exactly what they have done and think that the NY skyline, Abe Lincoln, and a couple of plaid shirted men will fix it. PITIFUL.
“They’re ethically bankrupt.”
Public corporations generally are.
I like to use an example of canned baby meat. If it were legal to sell/eat baby meat, suppose a company had a presence in the canned food aisle of the grocery srores but didn’t want to get into canned baby meat. You can bet that the stockholders would be asking at the yearly meeting why the company missed getting on the ground floor of the canned baby meat market.
