So... some context here. They went from number one to number two. 8.34% market share vs. 8.28. So basically like going from being the richest person in the world to being the 2nd richest.
Yeah, we sure showed them.
Since mostly only right wing Bubba types drank Bud Light in the first place... perhaps they need to go around and see how many of their friends are still drinking it in secret. You know damn well that even though the leftists were happy that AB did a tranny commercial... they didn't start drinking Bud Light. They are still nursing bottles of Puss Pink Pale Ale down at the Drag Show.
So right wingers need to get out there and see exactly who the traitors to the cause actually are.
Then they shouldn't be laying off employees, right?
I don't know and I don't care.

The numbers might be correct but they're not being used correctly.
Right, so this is your official declaration to everyone that Inbev or AB or whoever is about to crash. Everybody pull out now. You heard it here first.

I don’t get it. You want to destroy a company that provides jobs for over 100,000 because you didn’t like their ad campaign. You are hurting the workers because Bud will survive. And if sales go down they will let employees go. So the only ones you are hurting is them.
What you don't get is why it takes Conservatives so much time to do what Democrats have been doing for years. Except for one difference, the conservatives are just no longer buying the product. If a Democrat wants to buy it they still can, and if they really want to support the company perhaps they should start buying as much Bud Light as possible.
Funny how you don't seem to be upset at AB for not thinking about its employees and the possible loss in sales when they started that campaign.
I'm sure that if say Pepsi or Coke came out with a campaign highlighting a Right to Life Anti-Abortion Group you would be saying the exact same thing wondering why the left would want to destroy a company...
One thing we know for sure is that InBev will not be hurt by this much if at all.
Most people will switch to another InBev product and the volume shipped will not appreciably change. Very likely most of the switchers will not even know the other brand is from the same company, and could possibly even be brewed in the same kettles.
IF this controversy caused people to give up beer entirely that would be another matter.

Modelo is not owned by InBev. Fact is there are many, many beer choices outside InBev, a motivated buyer an figure it out in seconds.

And yet, this site says Bud Light consumers are more interested in social justice than non-consumers.
According to "the news" they did lay off employees after the " fallout over a campaign involving a trans influencer".
Apparently, employees in corporate and marketing roles in New York, Los Angeles and St. Louis.
I would think you would know and care since you claim any loss over this was negligible and AB is not hurting over this. I think that begs the question then why hundreds of layoffs.
