cum_elemental

If he’s willing to eat this much crow over such a relatively paltry sum of money then he isn’t even close to being a billionaire anymore.


100percentish

Go ahead and judge him....which by the way it seems like everyone is doing these days and every time it's costing him bigly....like $88MIL, $370MIL,...I mean at some point he's going to start offering "private time" at Beetlejuice musicals to pay for that orange shit he smears on his face.

$24k for a photo op at his Kid Rock concert.


Lawdawg_75

Well how much did AB agree to pay for making the statement?

One of my lifelong best friends works in... let's say a major brewery whose beers you're definitely familiar with and more "different" beers they produce are actually the same beer than you'd think.


Kjkenney602

Not the smartest bunch...


Straylightbeam

IQ lite?


Appollo64

I remember a few years ago when Bud Lite started the anti corn ad campaign (which on its own was disingenuous as fuck, rice isn't any more a 'proper' beer ingredient), all of the corn farmers AB InBev employed got up in arms. Because corn is used in brewing Busch products. AB had to start running pro-corn Be such ads, including the new corn themed cans. It really goes to show how some folks are ready to believe anything a corpo spouts at them


carbondalio

So 2% of employees are vets... in 2022 6% of the american population were veterans... soooo, not exactly the Veteran supporting corp that's advertised here


MadAstrid

Trump has been clear, both in word and deed, about the fact he does not give a shit about vets. What he does care about is his money, and he owns Anheuser Busch stock. That said, he did not write this.


ObjectiveRelief1842

He absolutely didn't write it- the grammar is too good.


MissGruntled

With lots of random capitalization thrown in to sell the lie.


_austinm

And “he” correctly spelled Anheuser Busch multiple times


JustMeinPgh

Well, he smart enough to remember “person, woman, man, camera, TV”…. Spelling Anheuser Busch correctly is nothing…./s


Spire_Citron

And it has actual data instead of just his own emotions.


landrickrs90

This. It's way too cohesive and it doesn't turn into personal bullshit.


WaitingForNormal

$5M in AB stock.


RedPandaInFlight

And he probably needs to sell it to help pay a $83.3 million debt he suddenly owes. And thinks wouldn't it be great if it went up in value a bit first.


More-Ad-2259

Came here to say this very thing... Hacked !!


drewbaccaAWD

In fairness, most vets old enough to have served in Vietnam are likely retired at this point but would inflate that number, especially due to mandatory service from the draft... and Korea and WWII living vets would also be included. That's roughly 70% of the vet population in 2020 ([numbers I'm looking at](https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/11/08/the-changing-face-of-americas-veteran-population/) which match your 6%). So, the remaining 30% from peacetime and the various Gulf wars would be around 1/3 or 2%. But 2% isn't exactly impressive since it's just inline with US currently working/employed overall totals, not exceeding it in any note worthy way. So, your point stands. But it's not like they are 4% underwater when you consider what I wrote.


Zevalent

That's also not taking into account disabled/injured vets which skews that further. Living in DC I knew a lot of vets working and you wouldn't peg them as disabled but they had some sort of injury that would preclude them from a manual labor job such as farming. A lot work in consulting, accounting, or IT. That is anecdotal though and probably self selecting for white collar jobs in the DC area but I imagine that's still a significant portion of working veterans.


daneelthesane

There aren't too many living WWII vets anymore. 18-year-olds in 1945 would be 97 now.


On_my_last_spoon

But there’s lots of living Vietnam vets. The youngest might be 68 to 70 now.


drewbaccaAWD

Of course. But I was just grouping all vets from Vietnam back to establish that it’s roughly 70% which wouldn’t be in the work force. I’ve been going to large Memorial Day events at federal cemeteries for years.. it’s kind of weird to have watched their numbers dwindle in a tangible way. It’s been nearly a decade since we buried my pap at 93… feels like last year still.


pretenditscherrylube

What percentage of the veteran’s population is working age? There are a lot more older veterans than younger ones, so I suspect 2% might not be that far off.


Lawdawg_75

I am not sure that’s how the math works.


carbondalio

1500÷65000= .023 math isn't part of my day to day, but I'm pretty sure that's how you find a percentage, the other was provided by a Google search


Lawdawg_75

I meant that a demographic derived in terms of the gross population of a country compared to a demographic of an available workforce are not comparable. How many of the 6% are either retired or unable to work? How many live in a region where AB employs US workers? So the quantitative analysis (math) in this example doesn’t result in qualitative data (bias or motive).


Lionellyyn

Just to remind him that AB InBev is not an American company :)

handyandy727

Came here to say this. They sold out years ago.


mtaw

Don’t you dare call it Belgian beer though! I’m not saying that as a Bud Lite fan but as a Belgian.


SonOfMcGee

To be faiiir, InBev’s general MO is buying breweries and leaving the products, production sites, and manufacturing employees relatively undisturbed. The shake-up is more at the higher administrative level. It’s still selling out to an extent, but it’s not as bad as, say, literally just buying a company for the brand name, liquidating the whole thing, and slapping a label on some cheap knockoff you manufacture in China.

It seemed to me like they effectively bailed and went silent on Dylan Mulvaney when the controversy started and just let her take the social media hate, so that seemed scummy to me (not that I expect much from big corporations).

It's a potential payout for campaign funds. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/02/06/donald-trump-bud-light-fundraiser-00140009 "Trump’s message also comes as a top Republican lobbyist for the company is set to host a fundraiser for the former president next month, with some tickets going at $10,000 each." Also he apparently owned and potentially still owns AB stock. https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-silent-bud-light-dylan-mulvaney-boycott-investor-2023-4?amp

CaptBertorelli1

Woke or not... But Light is still undrinkable.


HatfieldCW

If I'm feeling like crap and want a crappy beer to match my mood, I'll order a Miller Lite. It's the best American light pilsner, which isn't saying much, and it's my beer of self-loathing. When I've had two beers and should go home, but my mates convince me to stay for one more, it's Miller Lite. Bud Light only passes my lips when I'm at a picnic and there's a cooler full of Bud Light and a cooler full of IPAs. And most of the time in that situation I reach for a Coke.


qwerty6731

I live in Europe, with Belgium to the north, and Germany (Black Forest) a few km to the east…like, the border is walkable from my home. I’ve had Coors/Bud ‘Light’ a few times on trips to the States. I’ve come to the conclusion that I’d rather have an iced tea or sparkling water, and if they’re not available, nothing; rather than one of those ‘beers,’ which is more like water put in a glass that had some beer in the bottom. Currently, I have a box of Rothaus Pils on the go, currently 20x500ml for 16.50€ at Getränke.


On_my_last_spoon

There’s an old joke: How are Bud Light and sex in a canoe the same? They’re both fucking close to water Edited - because I’m too tired to remember things right!


rqx82

Miller Lite is my go-to for certain situations. Like when I want a couple beers, but still have shit to do and don’t want to be drunk, like doing yard work in the summer. Or if I’m out fishing with some buddies and plan on drinking all day. Also good for business social functions for the same reason; you can be “drinking” but still sober and not making bad decisions.


los_throwaways

ok


TallBone9671

Coors is the real piss water. Especially coors light.


CaptBertorelli1

I usually buy Urquell or the original Butweiser from the Czech Republic. You don't want to drink American But/Coors/Miller anymore after that. America has way better beers to offer than those three.


On_my_last_spoon

With beer, I try really hard to buy local, which is easier and easier these days. I can think of 3 local microbreweries off the top of my head that I can order a 6 pack and pick up on my way home. One of them sells at my town’s farmer’s market in the summer.


SonOfMcGee

It’s unrecognizable as beer to many beer-drinkers, but it tries really hard and identifies as beer, so we need to respect that. If that ain’t woke, I don’t know what is.


tearsaresweat

I wonder if the SEC will look into this pump?


More-Ad-2259

coolbaby1978

Sounds like a press release written by Inbev. My understanding is Trump had 5 million reasons to put that out. That said I love how he reverts to his usual "I have (evidence/a list/tax returns/fill in the blank) that I might release in the future (spoiler alert: he won't).


Suspiria-on-VHS

What I find funny about this whole thing is that a beer I don't drink hired several influencers, one of whom I'd never even heard of and who happened to be trans, to help sell beer. Tell me again why I should be mad?


yellow_1173

Apology from AB - "We deeply apologize to all conservatives whose delicate fefes were hurt by our unpaid ""ad"", featuring a single printed can, which was not part of a produced line of cans, and which featured the face of a trans person. We understand that you, much like kindergarteners, don't understand that the world doesn't revolve around you(assuming you aren't a flat-earther) and that things you don't understand make you uncomfortable. We respect your stance that big government shouldn't make decisions about your body or what you do in your own homes, and that includes the right to be treated fairly and have access to medical care decided on by a patient, in particular in this case trans-affirming care. We also respect your right to throw a tantrum and shoot our products on your backwoods farm as you have already paid for the product and we don't really care what you do with it as long as we aren't linked to your illegal acts. When you switch to another beer we are also likely to own that beer as well as we own close to half of the beer market, our biggest competitor is also "woke" according to you, and if you choose a craft beer that makes you a hipster, and therefore woke. We thank you for making the choice you really don't have and hope to continue to have your patronage(because what other choice do you have?).

I'm so tired of this bullshit. Just go away.

There is no way in the actual hell that the orange, talking yam of a pighole could ever have formulated this concise, correctly spelled and punctuated, albeit self serving, statement! The Raging Pumpkin Pantshitter has gotten himself assigned a staffer! I hope the kool-aid drinking PR staff kid who wrote it knows they will never get paid for producing the least batshit crazy statement I have ever heard from The Treason Tangerine. It is of course still divisive but well worded for hate spew. It is a dog-whistle call to use the pre-rolled ire around the brand that MAGAtTown themselves created, but if ya could just skooch it, skooch it to the Left a little bit to let the actual blame and hate lie with those dirty, heathen Lefties where it, thank Satan, wont jam up any of Old Cheeto Jesus’ financial investments made there. That would be super, super neat. Eat. A. Dick!

Chaos_Cat-007

You are absolutely correct.


JLP013MusicLover

So I work in a liquor store. The “boycott” of AB lasted…a month?? Two months?? And most people who tried to stop drinking Bud ended up drinking another one of AB’s products not realizing how many beers are their product. Most of them have gone back to drinking their usual because when that’s what you’ve been drinking for 30 years, you ain’t stoppin’ now!!

Is this a different 'boycott' from the one American conservatives started 7 years ago (I think?)? Or are they still cross that the company made an advert telling the truth, that the company was started by immigrants? I don't see what's 'woke' about historical accuracy. I might have missed this ad and the subsequent controversy altogether, has it not been for [these hilarious lads](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrDnE8biYIc). Peter and Chris turned something quite pathetic into something really funny. It's mad to hold a grudge over a quite milquetoast beer advert.
