As usual, thoroughly researched, definitive, conclusive.

And a very big splash for RFK Jr on his announcement day.

Time will tell how this “brew”-ha-ha plays out, but so far your prediction about the very temporary impact to AB-Inbev’s stock price has been accurate. It’s nearly back to where it was pre-controversy. I’m hoping it has an impact and forces companies to be more reluctant to enter politically controversial territory in their advertising, but it’s just a wishful prediction at this point.

It could be that you don’t write as well as you imagine, or your cynicism bleeds through.

I posted some other things at other times in this thread and in others which make it clear what I meant. I already called the ones from THIS thread out to you in this very thread at 5:00 pm. Maybe you missed them. Repeatedly. But in case a third time makes a difference, see my 2:16 pm and 3:59 pm.

There have been several times now where you claimed you were paraphrasing my views. Each time I repudiated that characterization and more than once pointed to what I actually said.

We all have to decide how much and often to say things in the short form we have here. Say too much and people tune out. Say too little and people misunderstand. Repeat too little and people miss you said it, repeat too much and lose their attention. It’s not an easy balance. On top of that it’s hard work to keep track of who says what when to whom and so it’s easy to mischaracterize people.

There’s a little too much flavor of What The Tortoise Said To Achilles here and it must be getting dull for everyone. Rufus, I think you normally mean well and have good things to say; sometimes try as we might we don’t all understand each other. Perhaps I’m not trying hard enough to understand you.

I appreciate what you write on this site and I am no way angry, just trying to reason to some truth, but here’s one of several examples I am responding to. You posted this here at 1:59pm (emphasis mine):

Unless you want to grow all your food and make all your own stuff, you can’t boycott the funders of Woke. The corporations you depend on for your lifestyle are stupid huge and cover a ridiculous number of brands.

“Boycotting” BudLight is for the Right what sorting their trash is for the Left: it’s a pointless activity that’s simple and makes people think they’re “helping” but without involving any kind of meaningful lifestyle sacrifice.

All great beers. Not woke.
Get to know your local distributor. Most of the ones I know are interested in doing one thing really well – sell great beers and build a loyal clientele — a clientele who wants to enjoy great beers, not be lectured to.
This isn’t hard.

Please stop misrepresenting me, thanks. I’d prefer you just ignored my posts entirely. This is like the third different way you’ve done it, and because you’re carefully reading my every word, you say, you’re not accidentally doing it.
