Last night at Aggie baseball all the beet kiosks were barely used. They have Bud light, michelob ultra, some wines and water.
I got a Miller light at consession, I normally get michelob.

YouBet said:Agreed, but here is the problem. The generations after Gen X are demanding that all products take a stance on social issues including their own employees. And those stances are almost always left wing because those are the people who constantly whine and ***** about everything.Tramp96 said:This right here. It goes along with what I said earlier this week that these corporations have too much time on their hands if they can afford to get involved in politics and social engineering stuff.deddog said:StoneCold99 said:

Some PR firm made millions off of that statement that says absolutely nothing but tries to say "we're sorry republicans" without actually saying it to stay woke.
This **** is why consumer businesses shouldn't get into politics. They can't apologize because that would piss off the rest of the country
Make the best product you can, workout the best distribution chain you can, do sound marketing research, and sell your product. That's all you need to do.
There is no way around it at this point.

It's not all people in those generations, just the ultra-liberal. I've got three conservative millenials and they despise all this virtue signaling. Just because the ultra-liberals demand something doesn't mean people should yield to them. They're demanding because they're accustomed to getting their way. Screaming and threatening works for them. They could use a big ole dose of "no!"YouBet said:Agreed, but here is the problem.

Platitudes. I don't see any accountability in that statement.
I am all for the boycott- but AB is part of AB InBev, a massive Belgian company that owns, among others, Budweiser, Corona, Stella, Beck's, Busch, Modelo, Pacifico, Natty, Shock Top, Ziegenbock, Lowenbrau, Spaten, St. Pauli Girl, Foster's, Breckenridge Brewery, Elysian, KARBACH, Labatt, and Michelob. Plus hundreds of other labels in dozens of countries. Their only real competition is MillerCoors, which owns just about everything else.YokelRidesAgain said:Quote:

That is what is so laughable about the stated rationale for the affiliation with the trans "influencer": 'our product is losing market share so we have to do something to appeal to a new audience.'
Your product is losing market share because it sucks and because instead of there being three options in beer like there were in 1980, there are like 5000.
What she said makes every bit as much sense as for CBS to decide that every new show next year would be about transgender people because "ratings are declining".

How do you as the CEO, knowing what great advertising campaigns you have had - frogs, real men of genius, Dilly Dilly - look at this one and go, yep this is a winner.
All management for that company should be looking for another job. Talk about not knowing your base.

I thought the "new coke" case study was taught at all business schools. Guess not! Looks like we are going to watch AB do the old Enron trick, disappear as soon as possible.

Any rational investor would stay away from companies that seem to think that their job is to promote social issues.
