Playing a proton size, not the Planck length, violin out of a quantum of sympathy. Oh well, I guess there are not enough Rainbow people who drink beet to make up for all the normies pouring Bud Light and InBev products down the toilet.

Blame the customer like the M She U(Marvel) calling fans Racist because they complain about all the black characters

[Billthedrill]

These people are our neighbors, family members and friends. They are in every community in America.

So why does BL expect us, the customers, to show more compassion to their own employees than they did?

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

Action. Meet consequence.

Ensuing cries of "unfair" are cried into bullhorns, and the crowd walks away, leaving the activists inactive.

[JimRed]

How many brewers have been laid off at the breweries? I imagine they have a union, right?

[GOPJ]

And also this 'news' was likely :leaked" by a PR firm that looks more like a San Francisco Bathhouse than "looks like America"

MOST Bud Light and Busch employees agree with the boycott .

They don't want sexual weirdos sexually mutilating and sterilizing their children either.

“a typical salesperson makes around $60,000 per year, including $20,000 in variable pay, which depends largely on commission.”

“an anonymous supervisor from a Florida-based distributor told the outlet that the average salesperson made about $2,000 less in the month of May”

2000 x 12 = 24,000

The two statements contradict one another. 20,000 is supposed to be worst case.

Excellent observation. One of the first rules in marketing whether for products or politicans: don’t alienate your base.

Bud Light responses:
1. No one at a senior level was aware
2. It was one post
3. Not a Campaign
4. “We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people”
5. It was a commemorative can
6. It was a gift to celebrate a personal milestone
7. Blame 3rd party ad agency
8. Blames social media.

I'm LOVING these boycotts.

They are inflicting INSTANT CONSEQUENCES -- something wokesters have NEVER EXPERIENCED before.

[TheElectionWasStolen]

Their only move left is to sell this garbage with no labels.

Light beer is a very optional commodity.
I like and drink a lot of beer,
Bud isn’t one of them.
My daily beer is Rolling rock.
Special occasions; Dos Equis dark or Beck’s dark.
Local micro brews give me the shits.
Big Island of Hawaii.
My point is there is a lot of good
tasting beer out there that
is cheaper.
You lose a expensively crafted clientele,
odds of getting it back are slim and none.

[ilgipper]

I’m willing to bet alcohol sales was not down. These individuals need to find new products to rep.

[Principled]

It’s not a boycott. It’s people deciding to eliminate bud light from their lives… forever.

FAFO

[CFW]

“Good people” should have started leaving the brand on April 1, 2023, if not sooner. I certainly could not in good conscious set up a “pride” display every year, even if it was in my job description. It’s a mockery to God. I’d have left a long time ago.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Sorry but these things happen. Sorry, but not sorry.

[wardaddy]

I feel for distributors

They didn’t do this but are paying the price
