...get woke, go broke: "Anheuser-Busch loses more than $5 billion in value amid Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light controversy".
At some point, I would expect the exceptionally woke moonbats - I'll call them hep bats - who run some of America's biggest corporations to grasp the essential fact that a company that goes out of business isn't going to be facilitating anything - from making money to promoting "inclusivity". I think many of these hot shot corporate managers truly believe that they're increasing business by throwing in with the cultural fringe; however, in reality, I suspect that what's going on is that these outfits are simply replacing their existing customer base with a different one, and probably not on a one-for-one basis, either (How many trans people drink Anheuser-Busch products? Enough to replace the lost blue-collar crowd? I doubt it).
In any event, it's revealing (if depressing) to see that America's business schools are turning out a lot of graduates these days who are unfit to serve the basic mission of corporations, which is enhancing shareholder value. Unless investors, en masse, wind up embracing a declining quality of life in return for the moral thrill of being on the "right side" of history, I believe the managerial class is ultimately in for a rude awakening - a completely different thing from being "woke".
P.S. Hi, FBI! Red pill, red pill, red pill...
Sometimes I think it's the woke view of tithing.
ReplyDeleteOther times, I think, as in this case, it's proselytizing.
Investors and management are afraid of the woke mob, but are they $5,000,000,000 afraid?
The next campaign will be 'Shame on you, transphobes of America!'
ReplyDeletePaco are you crazy!!! Use the code.

P.S. I am a big beer drinker and spent a lot of time in your great country. Only once did Budweiser products pass my lips. To the point of abstinence.
Mick: There's an old joke about a guy who has to take a urine test as part of his physical, but, as a joke, substitutes some Budweiser out of a can. His doctor calls him up in a couple of days and says, "Mr. Smith, I regret to report that your horse has diabetes".
ReplyDeleteActually, I think the beer in the original joke might have been Billy Beer, a foul brew bearing the name of Jimmy Carter's late brother. But it works for Bud, too.
I've got a brother inlaw who's a Miller Lite fan and another that's a Bud Light fan, both only drink American beer, funny, but my tastes go toward Yuengling Lager, they don't like beer with foreign sounding names.
ReplyDeleteMany years ago, during our sojourn in West Germany, we developed a taste for German beers and couldn't go back to American beers when we came home. The difference was just too stark, and the development of craft breweries was a godsend to us. So whatever happens to Anheuser Bendover from now on is only of passing interest.
ReplyDeleteOh, and Red Pill of course, along with all those other subversive words.
ReplyDelete“If you know which bathroom to use, you know what beer you should be drinking.”
ReplyDeleteI don't hardly ever drink anything alcoholic, but I'd drink that just to show solidarity.
