Despite Bud Light's Efforts, Sales Continue
Downward Spiral

After sales dropped for the sixth straight week, industry analysts are likening the backlash to Bud Light’s partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney to what happened in 2005 after Hurricane Katrina. "This could be a promotional summer the likes we haven’t seen since after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, where there was so much beer inventory backed up in the trade that it initiated the price war of all price wars," Beer Business Daily said, explaining that "large price wars are often sparked by external events—in that case Hurricane Katrina, and in this case Hurricane Mulvaney." But the “external event” in 2023 is only hitting one company,

What Budweiser and probably Target don't realize is that this is NOT a boycott. Their customer base has simply found products that they like more and will continue to prefer. Shorten your sales force Bud. You don't need them anymore.

I quit drinking this flavored water years ago, so I can't boycott. Between this and the target fiasco, maybe the "woke" leaders of companies will get a clue. Us NORMAL people are getting fed up with having homosexual and tranny crap shoved in our faces at every turn. You can't watch a TV show or "news" show or commercial without having some prominent gay or trans person featured, and if you voice any discontent with having that crap front and center everywhere you are branded a "hater". And with "Pride" month the "news" will be overflowing with admiring stories about "pride" festivals and parades. Enough of that swill. I have quit or avoided watching several TV shows because I don't want this bilge forced into my "entertainment" all the freekin time.

I know people are gonna jump all over this but Bud Lite is also not a very good product Even by flavorless American beer standards, it’s watery stuff So it wouldn’t take much to get people to drink something else

Good news. I think a large number of people are finally sick and tired of this "trans" literal insanity. These people are obviously mentally deranged and everyone knows that you CANNOT become the opposite sex, you can only pretend at various levels of craziness.

I don't think a price war will happen, but Bud Lite will have to eat a big loss. After those hurricanes, all brands were affected. Now only one brand is affected. BL may have to resort to paying people to drink it, at least for a while.

As to what is driving this Pervert poison... #9's question. My understanding is that some financial firms that control a LOT (as in Trillion$) in pension funds (Blackrock has been mentioned in particular) are pushing what they call an 'ESG Score', and to 'score' well, companies have to push the Pervert feces. Everyone with a retirement account.... check to see who manages that account, and see if that management firm is pushing 'ESG'. If they are, MOVE your money to a better firm!

Biting the hand that feeds you is rarely a workable strategy. Maybe if an apology was offered instead of more deceptive marketing, the bleeding would slow down.

You are correct, #6. Bud Lite was developed way back when beer companies were attempting to draw in females so they all hurriedly developed a light beer that had no taste and very little kick. They are mostly all the same with a few exceptions but this marketing disaster was caused by the in-your-face tranny campaign.

A recent review of court records reveals an alarming trend at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) concerning its treatment of January 6 Capitol riot defendants. Federal prosecutors have deployed a tactic of seeking to impose fines on defendants, in addition to their prison sentences with the alleged goal of preventing them from financially benefiting from their participation in the 2021 events in DC, especially in cases where the accused has received a court-appointed public defender. Attorneys for the defendants see the DOJ’s fine requests as impairing rights to legal representation. Legitimate Fundraising?

It’s rare that President Joe Biden goes a week without making a fool of himself and the country. This week, was no exception. After suffering from a series of misfortunate accidents, it has become apparent that Biden is not fit to make decisions for the U.S. Hours after Biden’s fall that sent him flying across the stage during the Air Force Academy commencement ceremony, the 80 year-old president hit his head while exiting Marine One. Reporters watched on the South Lawn of the White House as Biden hit his forehead while stepping out of the helicopter. He then rubbed his head where it was hit and continued to walk.

I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is that some semblance of order may be restored at the border. The bad news is that our government may have nothing to do with it. “Order,” such as it is, may be imposed by the cartels at a massive price. The fact that some states are sending their National Guard units to secure the border may pay off in more ways than just apprehending illegals, traffickers, and potential terrorists because according to the Mexican news outlet Milenio, the cartels at the border are armed with military-grade equipment, including rocket launchers.
New Poll on Transgender Rights Shows Americans
Are Not 'Deeply Divided' on the Issue
6 replies
Posted by ladydawgfan 6/2/2023 8:43:34 PM Post Reply
Recent polling on transgender rights has been fairly uniform, but you won’t see that reflected in the headlines touting the surveys. “Americans’ Complex Views on Gender Identity and Transgender Issues,” read a headline from Pew Research last year. In fact, the only issue on which Americans even slightly disagree is whether transgender people should be protected from discrimination. Otherwise, 60% believe a person’s sex is assigned at birth, and even larger percentages say that trans athletes should compete against others of their birth gender. There’s nothing really “complex” about how Americans feel when it comes to transgender issues. Nor are they really “divided” as NPR reporting on the same poll claims.

Hey, does anyone know if they sell Bud Light at Target? I need to make a beer run. But seriously folks, consumers who are not particularly rainbow-minded will run out of places to shop if this keeps up. Either more stores are betting on their ESG scores over consumer traffic or people are just getting more attuned to the prevalence of the new normal not only in society but also in retail. Shoppers can add Kohl’s to the list of entities where they would never be caught dead, right behind Bud Light, the Dodgers, and Target.

Springsteen appeared to have a soft landing, as members of the E Street Band rushed over to check on him and help the Boss to his feet. “Goodnight everybody,” he yelled to the audience, as he gingerly made his way back to the center stage.
