• Bud Light and Target

    From Mike Powell@1:2320/105 to IB JOE on Mon Jun 12 17:03:00 2023
    I think the tides are changing... Bud Light & Target boycotts are affecting things long-term. People are speaking up and it shows.

    Last I heard/read about these two... it sounds like Bud Light learned their lesson at least somewhat (they got rid of the person who offended their existing customers by calling then "fratish," etc.), but it sound like
    Target may double-down.

    I think companies should just sell their products and keep out of culture wars... just sell beer to anyone who wants to drink it.

    Recent history the Coka-Cola company sent out a memo to their staff asking their white staff to try and be less white... IRONY alert... Dr. John Smith Pemberton, the creator of Coka-Cola served in the Confederate army. With that kind of history... Coka-Cola should be paying reparations...

    I haven't drank Coke since that memo!!!
