How many of those other special districts are part of a mammoth corporation that enjoyed the kind of benefits and autonomy that Disney did that decided to interfere in state legislation that had nothing to do with their line of business so they could pretend to care about wokeness & DEI bs?
We had this discussion already. The Villages and Universal for starters.
They issued a statement. Your definition of “interfere” is exaggerated.
Totally irrelevant. You’re just doing mental gymnastics to deal with the cognitive dissonance of supporting an authoritarian because you happen to agree with him. Someday you’ll be the victim of one and you’ll cry like a baby.
You missed the point that Trump is clearly for sale. Not that we didn’t know that.
I am and Bud is my elixir of choice. Or Mich Ultra. Both produced by the divil hisself. I also have some shares of Inbev. They have rebounded quite nicely. I don't care enough about corporate pandering to let it interfere with my beer drinking.
lol - silly really. There was a Bud Lite ad that catered to or featured gay folk. A rainbow can or some other make nice with LGBTQ pandering. "Fags drink Bud Lite" would probably have worked better.
No, you can't break up my question as if it's composed of unrelated clauses - the answer you're trying to avoid admitting to is that Disney alone fits the description.
Lol - instead of staying neutral they actively campaigned against it. Election campaign ads are "statements" meant to influence voters. They spent millions and attempted to use their influence.
It's completely relevant - DeSantis didn't have an opposition leader killed or jailed, he acted within his authority as governor to revoke a conditional accommodation that Disney was fully aware was granted conditionally at the discretion of the governing authorities. Disney stupidly decided to act counter to governing authorities on an issue that had nothing to do with their business operations. Some Disney employees bitched with no legitimate basis to bitch - the word "gay" appears nowhere in the bill. Yes I completely agree that the public schools have no business making the kind of topics the material in question is related to part of the curriculum. Schools have their hands full with core subject areas, they don't need to include DEI bullshit that many parents don't want in schools. If a parent wants their kid to hear about those kinds of things no one's stopping them from making it available to them outside of school.
I broke it up to demonstrate that there are other massive special districts, including ones in the same industry. By separating out the one that spoke out against Desantis, you’re just proving my point that it was weaponizing the government. It doesn’t matter whether you feel it was Disney’s place or not. That’s entirely subjective. They have lgbt employees so they may have felt they had a vested interest in maintaining good relations with them etc. It just doesn’t matter. They acted within their legal rights. Desantis wrote a very specific bill with the intention of singling them out as retaliation. The only reason it doesn’t bother you is because you agree with Desantis’ culture war. You’re entitled to that opinion, but you are doing mental gymnastics to not admit to supporting a dangerous style of governing, because deep down you know exactly how fucked up it is.
Their new "woke", hip-n-happenin' young marketing VP with a fancy school pedigree Alissa Heinerscheid completely misread the room - i.e. she screwed up on the core mission of her position in Glorious Technicolor and publicly insulted their existing customer base, ironically calling their current customers "fratty...out of touch". She decided some guy who likes to cosplay as Holly Golightly would be a great icon for Bud Light. Turns out she was the one who was out of touch. She wanted to have an impact on their sales - she definitely did.
It's hilarious to hear you prattle on about "lowering the bar" and anyone weaponizing government or being "for sale" when you voted for the senile, profiteering, plagiarizing Potato in Chief and are fine with the weaponization of government and the courts by his puppeteers and other government officials against his main political rival who took his first political position knowing it would cost him money and certainly has never traded on his political office for personal enrichment unlike Joedaughtershowers.
The entire reason I brought up Bud Light was because trump reversed his position after the brewer’s lobbyists held a 10k per plate fundraiser for trump. Brought up his reversal on tik tok after meeting with their billionaire backer as well. He is trading on his office in plain sight. (Not to mention the number of known Russian mobsters who have held deeds to Trump properties). That all went over your head and you blathered about not liking beer.
Remind me who you voted for in the '20 POTUS election?
They're still down from when they told their customers they were fratty and out of touch.
Right, you're too attached to one particular label to care whether they insulted you. Sure tell us all a tall tale about how the flavor of their fermented grain water is distinctively superior to all others.
I'm calling bullshit. Inbev shares bottomed out in May '23 following the infamous Dylan Mulvaney ad. They are up about 12% from there currently. My ownership high value was March '23 and the shares are at 90% of that value now. Still up over my period of ownership.
Look at you projecting such bullshit on me. You can fuck right off. I have been drinking Bud for fifty years. Bud Heavy, not Bud Lite. I like it. I don't give a fuck what you think about it.
You can call whatever you like, what I stated is correct - it's below where it was at the start of their wokeness woes. At the moment AB InBev is doing better than the worst of it but is below where they were in April '23 which is when Miss Heinerscheid worked her marketing magic. Unless the charts I'm looking at are wrong from what I see it hit bottom of 52.68 October '23 not May. I don't know about your ownership value but the stock peaked higher in April '23 than in March '23. Alissa sure took care of that. Betcha they'd be in better shape if they'd simply STFU about how woke they wanted to pretend to be and had just kept running their Clydesdale ads.
That must be why you're foaming at the mouth over it. Interestingly you didn't get that upset when Alissa told you you were out of touch.
