Glad to see Bull & Bush getting the recognition they deserve!

Took zooming in to see the guy is sitting backwards on his handlebars...
Outside of a circus and maybe a kid at a skate park I've not seen this either.
Yeah, I noticed they've been up and down but looking at the last year, which is what is being discussed, there is a definite drop at the time all of the rabbling, (South Park reference).
I totally agree that it's disingenuous to imply that they've gone broke because they decided to be inclusive, but doing so HAS had a negative impact on their stocks value. Like you say, getting a lot of negative press can do that. That said, looking over the past year, the stock price has not yet recovered from that protest.
But bottom line: There is no evidence that going woke results in going broke.
There is, however, some evidence that alienation of a customer base that is predisposed to intolerance, and poor taste in cheap beer can lead to temporary declines in revenue...
I went back pretty far and there is definitely a substantial drop.
The people here saying it had zero is very little effect are not correct.
Granted, overall they are fine and in time this will be historic as time matures the stock so in that respect what the majority of people here are saying will be true.
So they are ridiculous when they say, "Go woke go broke". But, the boycott definitely has had an impact to the value of the stock, one that continues today.
(I looked at the stock prior to April when the boycott and the whole "Go woke go broke" catch phrase started gaining traction.).
I'm on your side and went to that link.
Unfortunately, the person you are debating is correct. Anheuser-Busch's stock fell over 20% after the boycott began and while it's come up a little since the initial fall it's still no where near where it was prior to the boycott in April.
That said, that might be the ONLY example of this slogan being accurate (at least right now).
That's because, in their minds they see the judicial system as rigged against him.
(No judges agreed with him that the election was stolen or that he won so "obviously" they're all democrats or whatever else he calles non cult members now)
If anything, they'd point at the judges ruling in Jean Carroll's case as an example or how "broken America is".
Isn't burning dolls while acting out a flag for mental illness(es)?
I mean there's tons of evidence of his mental issues over the years, but this is a new variation.
Interesting timing for this question: My answer is definitely "Yes". I am dealing with this a lot right now in my life.
It's interesting because if you'd have asked me four years ago I'd have said 'no', but a lot has changed and with the changes comes new perspective.
My advice to everyone reading this is to understand that things can change so reading everyone's answers might be very enlightening, someday, if not today.
Condolences to his wife.
It sounds like he really did want to hike that hike, and it sounds like he made it till the end. Then died.
It's brutal on family and friends but he was 71 which is a pretty good life... He probably didn't want to die, but there are plenty of worse ways to go.
You need to special order clutches in the US for most common cars these days.
Manual transmissions are rare.
(Its a shame).
Fair enough, good reply.
Upvoted :)
(Maybe Lemmy will bring back some good discussions in threads like these...)
I think the public gets fatigued when we hear about the profits these companies make and then we see these comparatively small fines.
If this is how we "steer the vessel of regulation" then I can accept that this is a push in a better direction.
However, I still feel that a fine in the hundreds of millions, ( not bankrupting but a "shot in the leg" versus a "slap on the wrist"), is appropriate for these very large corporations. They already weild so much political and economic power that consequences for things like this should be higher.
In other words, let's encourage them to operate responsibly in the first place.
People are just more openly angry in general since Covid.
