He was probably saying that just like the camouflage cans every year during hunting season, the farmer cans with corn on them have been going for many years, so this is not a last ditch, save face, appeal to the farmers play, it is just the annual thing

Gotcha. My point was that they are STILL using "fratty" ads. Although there is a split tail on the can, I would suggest that farming is mostly a boy's club.

Well which is it? Are they performing billions of trades or are they just analyzing them? Apples and oranges, huh?

It is actually both. They probe the market direction and analyze constantly. And they are constantly trading. Huge volume requires little price change to make money

If you think about, just netting 1/10 of 1% per day, average, is stellar. I'd take that all day every day.

Throwing an 80th birthday party for my mom tomorrow. She took it upon herself to get the beer.

Ha! Old people don't know or don't care. I was over at my 79 year old mom's house and she offered me a beer after I helped her move some heavy stuff. She had 3 budweisers in the fridge that had probably been there for a year or two. I drank one and brought her some different beers from my house before she tries to give one to the contractors working on her shed and ends up in the middle of some controversy she doesn't care to know about.
 

Bud Light said this week it will extend its partnership with the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) “to continue supporting economic opportunities and advancements for LGBTQ+ Americans and business owners across the country,” according to a press release.

The Tuesday statement goes on to say that Bud Light parent company Anheuser-Busch “has a strong track record of industry leadership in supporting the LGBTQ+ community.”

Navy Removes Pride Month Posts Amid Right-Wing Backlash— Nascar, Major League Baseball Also Targeted​

TOPLINE​


Companies daring to declare their support for Pride Month—including those that simply adopt a rainbow-colored logo for June—are facing online attacks from right-wing social media users, leading the Navy to delete its Pride posts, as boycott threats against any company deemed “woke” for outreach to the LGBTQ community continue to go viral.

KEY FACTS​

The U.S. Navy uploaded a Pride-themed Facebook cover photo on June 1, the first day of Pride Month, and replaced it with another photo less than 12 hours later, and it reportedly deleted posts for Pride Month from its Twitter and Instagram accounts.

NASCAR and MLB also tweeted in support of the LGBTQ community—and their posts were quickly filled with replies and quote retweets from angry right-wing users, quick to call for boycotts for companies who celebrate Pride or engage in LGBTQ-inclusive marketing.

The MLB briefly changed its Facebook profile picture to a Pride-themed logo on Thursday, but reverted back to the original on Friday after an onslaught of hateful comments.

Social media users on both sides were quick to notice the MLB’s switch: Popular queer content creator Matt Bernstein tweeted, “the brands really aren’t hangin w us this year,” while conservative commentators celebrated the change.
Some companies still changed their social media icons to Pride-themed logos, including HP, Cisco, Pfizer, Citi and Bank of America.

n recent years, many corporations have adopted rainbow logos as a show of support during Pride Month, which some have praised for increasing the visibility of the LGBTQ community, which others have criticized as insufficient and symbolic, sometimes deeming it “rainbow capitalism.”

SURPRISING FACT​

Navy officials reportedly considered disabling comments on its Pride Month Instagram post to avoid comments from “rude a**holes” and “bigots,” according to email correspondence obtained by Fox News.

CRUCIAL QUOTE​

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) practically popped a cork to celebrate what some see as a reduced number of companies marketing Pride support this year, tweeting: “They’ve seen the power of conservative boycotts, and they are running scared. . . We are so back!”

CHIEF CRITICS​

Conservative pundit Mark Levin tweeted to his 3.5 million followers on Friday: “Unlike Nascar, I celebrate America, the Declaration, the Constitution, capitalism, my mom and dad and family, the men and women in our military, our first responders, this month and every month.” Other conservative social media users criticized the organization as “woke.”

CONTRA​

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) praised Nascar’s support for Pride Month on Twitter: “Thank you @NASCAR for showing that in America, we value freedom and let Americans be who they are.” Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) mocked conservatives threatening to boycott the “woke” Nascar, tweeting: “What is an extreme MAGA snowflake to do? Boo hoo.” Some users joked that conservatives shouldn’t be surprised about Nascar “turning left,” because that’s the “whole sport.” (Nascar drivers only turn their vehicles left.)

TANGENT​

The criticism surrounding MLB comes amid a series of controversies for the organization regarding its Pride Month efforts. The Los Angeles Dodgers first attracted criticism from conservative and religious organizations, including Catholic advocacy group CatholicVote, for inviting the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a charity that uses religious-themed drag—including a conventful of gay boys in nun’s habits—to its Pride Night. The Dodgers uninvited the Sisters, outraging its other LGBTQ partner groups who threatened to pull out of the event if they were not reinstated. The Sisters were later re-invited and the Dodgers issued an apology. Some MLB players—including Washington Nationals pitcher Trevor Williams and Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw—have since condemned the Sisters, criticizing them as offensive to Christianity. Former vice president (and non-Catholic) Mike Pence similarly called the Sisters “anti-Catholic bigots” and demanded that MLB apologize to “Catholics across America.” In a separate controversy, Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Anthony Bass issued an apology Tuesday after sharing an Instagram post urging consumers not to shop at companies that support the LGBTQ community. He was booed by audience members at a game on Wednesday.

​

KEY BACKGROUND​

Right-wing social media users have ridden a self-congratulatory wave of backlash against Bud Light, which came under fire two months ago for its brief marketing stint with transgender TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney, to threaten boycotts against any company that markets toward the LGBTQ community. In recent weeks, Target and Kohl’s became subjects of criticism for their Pride collections, which include items for children. (Target’s boycott was aided by viral misinformation that a “tuck-friendly” swimsuit for transgender women was for children, when these products were only sold for adults.) Other companies, including The North Face and Jack Daniels, sparked backlash for their marketing campaigns that feature drag queens—another community that has been the target of legislation that threatens to restrict where they can perform, based on misconceptions that drag queens, particularly drag story hour events, “sexualize” children. Criticism has extended beyond just the LGBTQ community: Miller Lite angered some for its months-old advertisement for Women’s History Month, which criticized the sexist history of beer advertising.

Bud Light parent Anheuser-Busch’s stock has lost $27B over Dylan Mulvaney

The stock is headed towards an official bear market — a 20% drop — as the boycott continues.

Bud Light parent Anheuser-Busch’s stock has lost $27B over Dylan Mulvaney​

Shannon Thaler
Bud Light maker Anheuser-Busch InBev has lost a whopping $27 billion in market value in the wake of its star-crossed partnership with Dylan Mulvaney — most recently slammed by a 4% stock drop this week.

AB InBev’s market capitalization fell to $107.44 billion through the end of May — down more than $27 billion from the $134.55 billion value the company had on March 31, the day before Mulvaney’s partnership went live, according to Dow Jones Market Data Group.

May was the third-worst month on record for the company’s shares.


The stock is headed towards an official bear market — a 20% drop — as the boycott continues.

Shares of AB InBev closed Friday at $54.85, up 1.9%

That’s off 4% from their close last Friday and off 18% from March 31, when the beer maker enjoyed a share price of $66.73.

The Post has reached out to AB In Bev for comment.

Bud Light’s now-infamous promo with Mulvaney, 26, was posted on April 1, when the trans social media star shared a photo of a personalized beer can the brand sent her to celebrate her “365 Days of Girlhood.”

The post, which was shared with Mulvaney’s millions of Instagram followers, sparked a nationwide boycott of Bud Light and other beers in Anheuser-Busch’s portfolio, including Budweiser and Michelob Ultra, resulting in six straight weeks of plunging sales.

Last week, sales of Bud Light, America’s No. 1 beer, dropped 25.7%, according to data obtained by The Post, which followed a 24.6% decline the previous week.

Sales of Michelob Ultra, the nation’s No. 3 beer, were off 2.9% versus a year ago in the week ended May 13, in line with a drop a week earlier, according to a Bump Williams analysis of NielsenIQ data.

Sales of Budweiser, last year’s No. 7 beer with more than $1.8 billion in sales, were down 9.7% in each of the two most recent weeks.


Anheuser-Busch has scrambled to rebuild its brand since the boycott began, giving away rebates that made 15-pack cases of Bud Light and Budweiser free in honor of Memorial Day weekend, and buying back unsold cases of beer that have gone past their expiration date as they’ve collected dust on liquor store shelves following the disastrous partnership.

Bud Light customers raised eyebrows again when conservative social media critics flagged Bud Light as a sponsor of the Cincinnati Pride Parade last week.

A glance at the list of sponsors on the event’s website reveals that the Anheuser-Busch brand is lending its name to the annual event, which will be held on June 24.

The image on the page shows a rainbow-colored bottle of Bud Light next to a glass of beer under the heading “Together in Pride.”

The Bud Light marketing executive associated with the Mulvaney partnership, meanwhile, has refused to speak on the controversial marketing deal.

Alissa Heinerscheid, 39, refused to speak when approached for comment on Mulvaney’s promo — before her friend cut in to say that “she’s not supposed to talk about it.”

Heinerscheid took a leave of absence from Bud Light as the brand began hemorrhaging billions of dollars over the partnership, which saw Mulvaney touting a March Madness promotion while dolled up as Holly Golightly and then frolicking in a bubble bath in April.

It remains unclear whether Heinerscheid has since returned to work or remains on leave.
