I don't see an issue with people choosing to speak with their wallets. No one is out there protesting, burning down Bud Light buildings or doing anything illegal. They are choosing to no longer buy a product. It's their right to do so. Many people on both sides of the argument are boycotting them. They are doing it peacefully. I don't see what the problem is by doing so. Agreed. It's one thing for a corporation to market to a woke audience, but it's quite another to belittle and demean the large customer base of ordinary normal Americans along the way. Bud executives took that great big extra step over the line -- who am I kidding, they pole vaulted over it -- going out of their way to insult their core customer base rather than making a public effort to truly be "inclusive" and "accepting". I think this reveals how in La La land these corporate elite are as far as the spending public , you get on your soap box you should probably have a clue who's buying your products. They are in LaLa land the private equity group we sold to are full of them. They bounce from one company to the next in little packs. Completely disconnected from reality and accountability. They all sport Harvard business school certificates, the didn't go to Harvard They paid 20k to go to a Harvard seminar (fact). They are professionals at having fun with other people's money. And I'm tickled pink I sold and left the day the deal closed.

Unilever(Ben&Jerry's) lose almost $3B since their 4th of July woke message... Now just imagine had Unilever simply gave that they $3B lost to the indigenous tribes in their area? Probably would have helped a lot of people way more than their "message" did. End result they are out $3B either way and now the money is just lost. I'm not big on boycotts or all that mess but why these companies continue to hurt themselves I do jot understand. Just stay neutral and try to make as many customers happy as you can. It's not hard.

I'm just really happy to see people fighting back at these "woke" companies. And hitting them in their capitalistic wallets. It's about time.

How do y’all feel about the other companies who are playing us after this [censored]?
One of my local breweries (sweet water) started making a basic bud lightish type beer, put it in a red, white, and blue can and slapped some stupid name on it like super American beer or something like that. There are quite a few companies trying to play people’s emotions to capitalize on this. I find this as an insult to my intelligence. Was “super manly patriot beer” already in the works and just happened to be released right after the BL mess?…not a chance

Bud Light is dead to me, I really don't care what or how other breweries might take advantage of the situation.

The local Rite Aid had a large stack of BL 30's in the center aisle with $14.98 mail in rebate attached. Has not moved. It must be bad. People aren’t even stealing it
