Normally consumer boycotts are meaningless fluff that dingleberries who don't know how to do praxis do. Or is bud light lying and it's only a slight dip in sales? Regardless, dumbest timeline possible.
This doesn't seem to be related to consumer boycotts, really. It's small business owners and whatnot. Bars, grocers, etc. I mean, yeah, Florida? Outside of the metropolises you're looking at confederate flag waving folks. I'm sure bar owners in those areas pushed back.
Right now it's all consumer. Bars returants all sign distribution deals and more than likely it's going to get worse for bud when those deals are not renewed. I just read that memorial day sales for bud was down 60%.
This article is literally about Florida salespeople working for distributors. Small bars often go week to week with their orders.
Those same distributors sell to grocery stores liquor etc.
It's all consumer. Why wouldn't it be?
Because the average person doesn't give a shit one way or the other. The small business owners, otoh, tend to be reactionary as hell. Not to say the average person won't go along with it, but they're not the driving force behind it.
Yeah i think you are completely wrong. I'm in a rural area and everyone has switched to coors and sheltzers
It's a chud beer from a chud brand that spent decades developing their chud persona
It’s really disheartening that the only boycotts in the past 5 years that have meaningfully hurt companies are from insane right wingers.
It’s a country where 60% of people are reactionary and they have most of the money.
almost like boycotts originating from the class with all the spending money on products that are completely optional and have readily available replacements are the most likely to work
Also given that the parent company is ultimately ABInBev I'm sure the people boycotting are inevitably buying other shit owned by them anyways
totally. wouldn't surprise me if they come out with a rebranded Busch Light and call it "Busch Traditions" or some pandering shit to capture all the anti-woke bozos' default cheap shit beers.
Rainbow capitalism was a needle in the eye of conservatism. Like it or not, It was a force of normalization of LGBT.
I will take my water where I can get it in this horrible desert.
Very few corporations celebrating Pride this year. Staggeringly few. It fucking sucks and feels bad.
If my options are shit country with insubstantial pandering vs shit country with fascist pandering, I’d prefer the former. It doesn’t leave me scared on a daily basis for being who I am.
Lol a white guy who entrenched himself into the rap scene is outraged at the violation of norms
In his cowboy song he has a line
I can smell a pig from a mile away.
And now he's a republican darling and a major :bootlicker:
This could still be explained by drinkers switching from light beer to hard seltzer and canned cocktails this “boycott” just continues trends that have been going on all year.
No the data is pretty clear when the sales started to dip. It was a week or two after dylan got her single can. But yes seltzers are taking up a larger chunk of the market but that would not explain the brand wide dip of abimbev products which include seltzers.
I mean a formerly cheap conservative trash beer has effectively been re-branded a cheap trash LGBTQ beer. With a million other beers to choose from it would be more surprising if they didn't loose sales.
But in the long run $BUD will come out on top, although I don't think they planned for this to happen.
damn people hate trans people so much that their boycotts are effective? wild
They hate everything lgbt from what it looks like. Moments like this cause you to remember that the US is a far-right country, as much as it wants to believe otherwise. I doubt the majority want to murder people who are lgbt, but they certainly aren't fans either.
I'd imagine its a correlation between the kind of people with no taste buds that willingly drink piss water bud light and reactionary shitheads are the same demographic.
Bud light sales are down 27-30% from what Nielsen reported a week ish ago
Their market cap is down 10% last i saw at a loss of 27b $
If the report from abc is to be believed budlights sales for memorial day weekend are down 60% compared to last year.
This whole thing will be taught in business class as an epic possibly company destroying decision on not knowing who your consumers are or not caring. Yes i stole that from mister unwonderful
Probably going to see a huge decline in corp Americas participation in pride month.
Conservatives consume. There's no money in chasing left leaning people.
Boycotts can be an effective form of praxis, it just depends on the context and goal. It was used to end apartheid in south Africa, and it helped get A and P stores unionized along with strikes. It's just that currently corporations are so large and intermingled and people are so weak and treat brained that boycotts haven't been effective. Although the Israel boycotts have been somewhat effective
Nah everyone stateside is caving. Including most sports franchises, that took down their pride logos
Watch under Trump in 2024 June is going to be rebranded as straight pride month in a law.
Probably man, shits wild.
In South Africa the US ambassador have warning of a terrorist attack taking place at pride. Very weird. There was no terrorist attack, obviously
Hellish animal testing, quasi-slave labor, killing activists with death squads
:i-sleep:
Trans girl is on beer can

Eh cheap beer has already been on the decline. Although people were PISSED at Budweiser’s latest marketing thing I wouldn’t be surprised if it at least makes a dent in the short term future.
I'm sure it's a complete coincidence that right-wing boycotts are beginning to have a real effect the moment Elon forced Twitter to take its boot off their necks.

That's a weird way to phrase "Started allowing open neo nazis to post open neo nazi shit"
The people crying about censorship on twitter were literal fascists.
