Nope. No pass for you. Was that intended as a diversionary tactic or did you actually miss my point in Post #93?….
Who’s “they”? I assume you mean the big wheels at Bud. That is not where my concern lies. Those people never get hurt. Or if they, sort of, do, they walk away with millions. Nor are the investors the real losers because this, too, shall pass — for investors — but not for Bud workers if they lose jobs. Good jobs are the backbone of the overall economy. And, yet, taking them out is the goal of many in this thread.
What about the Bud workers who had no influence over Bud’s decision? How can any right thinker be glad Bud’s working people could be out of jobs through no fault of their own? That smells elitist to me. Kind of a “Let them eat cake” mentality.
I want people working for good money and benefits. But the raging boycotters are so stoked they don’t care — or can’t think because they are being successfully targeted and manipulated by propaganda from power-grabbers.
Those who made the decision to go with some niche advertising will not have the kind of economic consequences fall into their personal lives like those frontline Bud workers might — if this megaphone-mouthed obsession does not stop.
Like Trae Crowder said in his recent YouTube, darkly funny, smartazz, 3 minute video, “It’s not like this was some Super Bowl ad” …… and he goes on to explain how it all started. This was a tiny ad for a small number of people.
But even if you won’t look up Trae Crowder, can you please think about the weirdness of taking joy in the possibility of causing blameless people to lose their jobs.

Note to Self: Damn. I’m too purdy to get all tangled up in this thread. Why oh why did I have to look this morning. I need to remember what Mark Twain said about arguments like this. (sigh)
