#1 "Andrei - you've lost another 28% in sales?"

In all seriousness, I talked to the guys running the local liquor store a few days ago. They're at the point of returning lots of Bud products because few people are buying it, because of the expiration dates. This is one of the largest packies (our word for liquor stores) in Massachusets. Let me put it this way - about twenty years ago there was a big college football game between Florida State and Boston College, and four monster FSU buses rolled up to this packie before the game and pretty much cleaned the place out. I was impressed, and also disgusted that our national reputation as boozehounds was dethroned by these assholes. I want my title back!

#2 At my local grocery store this week, can buy a 20 case of Bud and Bud Light for a $1 more than the 12pk. The Bud Light display full. The Bud less so, but the display was smaller.

#3 When upper management and HR despises the very customer base that their product is intended for, why would anyone be surprised at the consequences.

#4 America is devolving into exactly what the Founders despised: An unaccountable aristocracy lording it over a bunch of serfs.

Our betters are infuriated that the hoi polloi want nothing to do with their pervo pets. The full well intend to punish our impudence.

#5 I can think of 24B reasons for them to try to buy Yeunling or Sam Adams again stat.

#6 The Fancy Lads are now the corporate trash LOL.

Sam Adams was one of the first corps to act the fool, though I'm not sure how they've been recently.

#7 I am sorry to hear that although the original Samual Adams probably wore a wig, so their pandering is semi-authentic.

#10 They were emulating the Ben and Jerry's messaging style back when B&J decided to publicly be stinkers.

Like I said, long time ago.

#12 I am continually amazed at these companies that get woke and go broke. I would think the actual owners, the stockholders, would be wanting to replace CEOs or would be exploring legal actions such as class action law suits.

#13 Hubris followed by Nemesis.

Disney, Budweiser, Target have all forgotten two (2) things: First, Nobody is 'Too Big To Fail" and Second, their products are not 'Necessities' -- the customer can buy elsewhere while they go bankrupt.

#14 And I'm still waiting for the Left to come out and ask why wasn't Disney paying its "fair share" of taxes all these years.
