Billiam

My dude, it sounds like you’re being needlessly accusative.

I never said InBev was in trouble; I said they fucked up their response to the Dylan Mulvaney backlash. Which they absolutely did, and it caused their most popular American beer brand to lose sales.

A lot of people at the time were (correctly) pointing out that most of the beers the MAGAts decided to switch to in their performative protests were also owned by InBev.

InBev is doing fine, because they own over 600 brands globally.

Bud Light sales however are not doing fine. Its sales are down about 40% compared to pre-2023 levels, and has dropped from most-popular to third most popular beer. They pissed off the no-taste mouthbreathing MAGAts who were their primary customers by mailing Dylan one fucking can, and then pissed off everyone else when they threw Dylan under the bus immediately because the MAGAts started all bleating about it.

Target is now literally in that same position.

Just goes to show how bending the knee to the bigot brigade doesn’t work. Are more of the fat orange traitorous fuck’s cult shopping there?

No.

Target did exactly what they wanted- first by hiding their Pride merch last June, and then by eliminating their diversity programs- and the only result is the people who didn’t shop at Target still aren’t, but the people who did shop there are taking their business elsewhere.

Soon Target’s going to have to either try to reverse course to save face with their former clientele, or they’re gonna have to double down in an effort to attract more MAGAts to their rotting corporate corpse. And as InBev learned with Dylan Mulvaney, that’s not a decision you want to fuck up.

Make America Great Depression Again!

Costco has increased foot traffic for 13 consecutive weeks, so not a bad guess people are going there.

In one sense, yes, you’re right.

But I don’t think you’re taking how broken the billionaire psyche is into account. The reason they fight to get so much more than they already have, in addition already having more than many countries even need, is because to them it’s not money anymore. It’s a scoreboard telling them who’s winning and who’s not. Anything that causes them to move down the scoreboard, despite literally not affecting their lives at all, freaks them out.

It’s why they buy off Congress to pay fewer and fewer taxes. Even though their lifestyles would be unaffected by more taxes, they can’t tolerate someone else being richer than them.

He’s a fucking liar.

If he voted for it, he isn’t against it.

All across the idiot America.

Man creates capitalism.

Capitalism creates climate crisis.

Climate crisis destroys capitalism.

Climate crisis destroys man.

…Woman inherits the earth?

Dow drops 1200… so far.

The kind of people we’re talking about wouldn’t let you stay home with the kids.

They expect men to be killing themselves in un-safety-regulated jobs for the sake of increasing the wealth of the billionaires while all women stay home playing Suzy Homemaker and popping out white babies.

That’s their vision.

You know, I looked at that and knew it looked wrong but brain couldn’t figure out why.

Thanks!

Oh look, Conservatives sowing more doubt and mistrust because they can’t handle it when faced with how unpopular they are.

Quelle surprise.

They’re never gonna restore “traditional” families if they never support a family being able to actually survive on a single income.

Who derives joy from that?

-Man who was gleefully swinging a chainsaw on stage, deriving joy from stealing taxpayer dollars and cutting government services.

Not people; shitheads like Blackrock are the ones artificially keeping Tesla inflated.

Tesla announced today their Q1 sales were over 336,000 vehicles. If they sell that many every quarter (no idea, but for the sake of argument let’s say they do) that means 1.3 million vehicles are sold every year. By contrast, the Big 3 sell over 700,000 half-ton pickup trucks each annually. In other words, consumers buy more F-150s, RAM 1500s, and Silverado 1500s a year than total Tesla sales.

One model line from those three combined far outsells Tesla, and yet Tesla has more “value” than those three collectively? Yeah, that’s not fishy at all.

The Department of Education announced Monday it’s investigating 60 colleges and universities over allegations of antisemitic harassment anti-Israeli sentiment and discrimination hurting conservative feefees.

“The number of rights you have as a citizen of this country depend solely on which arbitrary lines you happen to be between at this immediate moment” is such a fucking brain dead take, it’s not surprising that Republicans love it.

No, they’ll blame Trump but never make the connection between him and the GOP, right-wing propaganda like Fox, and billionaires who prop the whole thing up.

That takes two brain cells.
