Lol, yeh, I think most women have better sense than to engage in the getting nowhere banter on here that I have no problem getting into.
Born as and fully aligned with being male… and super grateful for that, I won the birth lottery there for sure.

Women have some major advantages over men:

Women live longer by 5 years.

Women are less likely to be victims of violent crime.

Women are not drafted into militaries as often.

Women make up 62% of college students.

Women work less dangerous jobs.

Based on the Osceola evidence to date, I’m not totally sold on the credibility of Brian’s Stat Service, but regardless, the advantages of being male in our society so far outweigh any disadvantages that I remain grateful for winning the birth lottery. Plus there are so many more ongoing non-elective physical pain points associated with being female, I’m good with all my parts and operating system.

Please fact check my claims always.

Times are changing and it's better to be a woman in America in those ways.

Does BlackRock REALLY believe all of that stuff, or is it just part of an opportunistic script that it knows appeals to a big audience?
I Don't think it's a big audience. It's hard to define who the audience is other than their echo chamber. And if they were truly interested in these rights they would be promoting them in the Middle East and China and India and every place they sold their product. Selective virtue signalling.
 
As a point of order, TYT members are regular guests on left-leaning cable "news" shows...But I'm sure I'll be told none of you ever watch those, either.
 
It is an odd controversy to me,
what was it about the TikTok person that created so much anger when the rainbow cans did not generate a similar response previously?
If I was a BL consumer, I certainly would not throw out the beer I paid for over them using an influencer who is LGBTQ when the company has been public for years about their support of LGBTQ causes. Is it possible the people that became so angry were not aware of the rainbow cans?

Is it the over the top characterization that Mulvaney projects? Is there a belief trans people have in the last few years become "groomers" and were not previously?
I am genuinely curious why this person pissed off so many so badly that they would spend hundreds of dollars to make a reaction video to prove their anger.
Kinda like DeSantis and his deal with Disney, Florida's biggest employer and the major attraction from around the world to Florida. I really don't get it based on Disney having the same stance for decades.

New York, New Jersey, Boston, Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, Miami, Atlanta, LA, San Francisco, Silicon Valley and Seattle — among others — are liberal places and homes to some very significant market participants. Check out the last electoral maps and see the concentrations. It’s a big audience.
 
Anheuser-Busch In-Bev stock is down a whole two percent since this started. This protest/boycott will go down the same path as the ones against the NFL, Nike, Starbucks, etc.
Wait till the quarterly earnings reports, then check back and see what the stock value is. Almost 10 Billion lost in market cap and horrific sales. That’s gonna leave a mark. I assume you’re buying up all the stock you can right now since it won’t have an effect on the stock price?

Let’s just put a friendly fictional money wager on it. I’ll sell the stock Monday at the opening bell for whatever it opens at. You buy the stock Monday for the same price. Then after the quarterly earnings are released and 2nd qtr sales are published, let’s see who lost the most money. Deal?

Yes, it's anecdotal but, I'm in line at Winn-Dixie this afternoon when the two guys in front of me, one with a 12 pack of Busch Light and the other with a case of Mich Ultra, were talking about how they were glad the boycott didn't apply to their favorite beer.

The people participating in this "boycott" just ain't that bright. That's why it won't work.
 
Why do you keep calling me out?
Not sure what this is all about but you shouldn't be called out in a thread you haven't posted in. Sad to see grownups bullying.

We have come to the point where we are canceling beer. Who woulda thunk it?
 
I'll take the wager. Will you admit your numbers aren't close to being accurate?
We will find out who has the better info. Truth is you can’t believe what you read nowadays. The entire media on both sides is too convoluted with agendas and bias. However, I think the 2nd quarter sales report and earnings will be released in late June. Looking forward to see how the different positions on their stock works out.

That’s true other product lines will still sell. However, they can’t make up for lost sales of their #1 selling product.

I linked my info. Where did you get yours?
 
The the way, I just read the entire article you posted. Essentially what the fact check is saying is that the amount of the loss varies depends on what day you compare the stock price. If you take the day the story broke, the loss was indeed around $4B, but if you take the day Walsh made his claim, (which due to the situation and the stock price had droppEd) the loss was closer to $3B. It’s semantics at best, but one fact cannot be ignored, their stock price market cap have lost a significant amount of money. Politics is politics, and unfortunately it has leaked into society too much. However, the majority of the population on both sides would prefer to keep it out of sports and consumable products.
You claimed $10mil. Where did you find that?

The carnage is just beggining. Its market cap has already dropped close to $6B and in June when earnings and sales numbers are released it will go considerably lower. If you’re such a believer in the stock, buy all the stock you can. There’s plenty available.

So, you admit you're just making up numbers to try to prove your point?
 
No, I admit that the damage will get worse. I gave a $10B estimate as to what the total hit to their market cap will be. I may be wrong, and if so I will admit it. Btw, how much stock are you buying?
If it gets back down to $62, I’ll buy plenty.

Bud Light is a terrible beer and American macro domestic is a terrible market. Anyone betting on InBev is betting on Central/South America and premium products.

It seems to confirm to me that a subset of the population really hates transpeople. Like really really hates them. To the point of committing crimes, breaking things, and shooting up their beer supply. That’s troubling.

Seems the hate you describe is also within the LGBT friendly areas. Seems to me they would be more supportive of this campaign.

I agree that the marketing exec did not read the room on the core customers, that was a mistake. The larger mistake is I feel this was a calculated risk type of decision because of a desire to grow that "younger" market and that risk really blew up in her face.

Mulvaney has 10 mill followers and I think we can all agree Mulvaney's followers are very likely an untapped market for Bud Light. Add in the perception that European companies tend to be more inclusive, I can see that marketing team all thinking they could send the beer can and have this popular person selling Bud Light to all those followers and no one would care because they are not following this person on TikTok.
The critical error she/they made is that they either did not understand or thought it wouldn't matter that everything "trans" is a hot-button issue, Dylan is so over the top, and the core customer for BL doesn't want those types of people "crammed" down their throat. Pretty far slide for a person who last year was named to Ad Age's top 40 under 40.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out, the attempt by BL with the Clydesdale was dumb and so transparent. The brand is so heavily ingrained in America can they win back customers, does Bud and all the other brands suffer?
If you notice the new ads are not Bud Lite ads but just Bud or AB ads. They are trying to reach back to the core of their customers. AB will be fine because they have other brands that can weather this. Mich Ultra has a good following that will stay put and the other brands like Stella, Landshark, Modelo and Natty are semi detached from the main brand. It will be interesting to see how this plays out once football starts as Bud Lite has a large interest in NFL and college football. Miller is probably licking their chops right now.

Interesting side note. I was in a country store over the weekend and the only beer left in the cooler was Bud Lite. No Miller Lite or High Life at all. To be fair the Natty and Ultra was all gone as well. Usually its the other way around and there's plenty of Miller available.

Not sure on 62 but if it gets into the 50's I'm in. It will come back but with a 52 week range of 44- 67 I don't know if its going much past 67 at this point.

Boycotts don't work because people just boycott a brand which is a segment of a entire company. Also people really don't care enough to change their habits and the ones that do don't make up a big enough percent of the market. I didn't drink Bud Lite anyway so no problem but I'm not going to stop drinking Mich Ultra or Natty Lite on occasion. My issue is now the Miller Lite is harder to get. Normally its easy to find.

People tried with Starbucks and Nike too and it didn't work. I didn't agree with either companies stances on the police or the National Anthem but I didn't do Nike or Starbucks anyway so no problem. Same with Target, most people that say I boycotted Target never shopped there anyway.

Edit: the entire convo that follows your gay bar boycott post is based on your use of the original article you posted, before you returned 2 hours later to replace it.
So, regarding your original choice of: https://metrovoicenews.com/even-gay...bud-light-over-its-new-transgender-spokesman/
……
Also seems that people would be more discriminating consumers of news before jumping into a convo with their supposedly clever gotchas, right?
Why would you even bother citing a far right Christian newspaper which publishes an article purporting to show “gay bars boycotting Bud Light” when the info in the article itself says nothing at all about any gay bar boycotting Bud Light.
The only thing remotely close in the article is one unidentified pub in a NYC neighborhood with all types of bars catering to different demographics in which Bud Light sales dropped, and still no mention of the bar itself boycotting Bud Light.
Here’s some help with understanding that not every bar in any big city neighborhood with lots of whatever demographic is targeted to or frequented by that demographic: https://restaurantclicks.com/best-bars-hells-kitchen-nyc/
Did you actually read the article?
Where does it say what you claim it says?
Lame

How so? The article states a drop in sales from a number of bars. "One pub in Hell’s Kitchen, a New York City neighborhood known for its large and vocal gay community, reported that Bud Light draft sales dropped 58 percent this week, while Bud Light bottle sales were down 70 percent."
So like I said in the post you would think there would be more support inside the LGB community. And why is the fact that its a Christian newspaper relevant? Should I only get sources from left leaning liberal sources? I didn't say this was a gotcha, just pointing out this isn't just centered in the red neck bars of the rural south.

Sorry it got your panties in a bunch by commenting on your other post.
