#5 Our kids used to collect aluminum cans to fund their sports teams; not worth it now as they only pay about 10-20 cans per penny.

#6 The glass bottle people loosing their jobs over aluminum cans. Kinda has an "inevitableness" about it.
You have to wonder what's happening over at Ball, who makes (or used to) the cans for Bud.

About the only recycling program that is semi-effective by reducing aluminum bauxite imports.

#10 Every lost Bud Light sale is a new Modello, Miller, Coors, etc. sale. The jobs didn't go away. They just moved down the street.

#11 A few people might even have given up beer.

#12 Are Bud Light drinkers sophisticated enough to drink from bottles?
Being suspicious, I wonder if this has more to do with demand for bottles vs cans than any AB marketing triumph/sales disaster.

#13 While I was working for GM, one of my hourly workers tried to explain to me why Americans were obligated to buy GM products. I never was able to follow his non-logic.

#14 I buy what works for me. I do try to avoid Chinese, blue state made and ESG offenders.

#15 If you buy a used American car, you are beating the UAW tariff. The repair parts are mostly foreign sourced now.

#16 Nobody is going to see this story and go and buy a twelve pack of Bud Lite because they didn’t understand that choosing a better beer might impact innocents in the InBev supply chain. There will be more and more of these stories. They are a distraction. What is happening to Bud Lite, Fox, Target and Disney is what the globalists fear most, people realizing that they are powerful and not alone.

#17 ^ Exactly. If you don't like Producers or product enough to continue? Don't. Especially if they spit on you as their market

#18 Every time I buy or don't buy, somebody gets screwed. I try to arrange it so it's not me...

#19 One of the best pieces of advice I ever got, from a friend's dad when I was a kid. "Don't play the other guy's game."

Yes. the modern gerbil economy is based on rampant consumerism. If you learn to live more simply, you are sticking it in their eye. Even though they claim that's exactly what they want you to do.

#20 The people running the local micro brewery may still be flaming commies even though they get to see up close that only work works.

But you can check them out for yourself before you flop your wallet open.

#21 Let me give you some other examples of narratives that they lost control of: Epstein didn’t kill himself, Let’s go Brandon and the term Fedsurrection. It gets to them. You can see it in Jake Tapper’s clenched jaw. My expectation is that at one of the Trump rally’s, the crowd will eventually be led in a version of the Icelandic clap with the crescendo chant being “Trump.” If his handlers pull this off successfully, it will metastasize into NASCAR crowds and then into other stadiums. It may not. It could possibly be something else. It may not even be related to Trump, but the people will speak. They will continue to speak in a way that the gatekeepers will fail to stop.

#22 Most interesting comments tonight, 13-21. Number 19 required a 2nd reading. Simple, yet very powerful.

Everyone have a safe 4th.
