Corporate death wish? Bud Light doubles down on woke agenda, donates $200,000 to LGBTQ charity

It seems that despite a record boycott that has seen the company consistently dropping 20 to 25 percent in sales every week, Bud Light has failed to learn anything as the company announced on Tuesday its donation of $200,000 to the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC).

Bud Light and its parent company Anheuser-Busch have been in hot water ever since its partnership with controversial transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, where they sent the internet personality custom beer cans that celebrated a year since he began his transitioning, per the DC Enquirer.

This partnership has made the beer giant the center of controversy with both sales and the company's stock seeing a major decline in protest of the company's decision, per the DC Enquirer. On top of the backlash from conservatives for the initial partnership, leftists have also begun to be upset with the beer manufacturer as they ran the reverse course on the idea in an attempt to save face.

It seems that Anheuser-Busch is now backtracking on its backtracking, sending a whopping $200,000 to the NGLCC's Communities of Color Initiative, which is "designed to support the growth and success of minority LGBTQ+-owned businesses through certification, scholarships and business development in an effort to create equal opportunities for the economic advancement of small businesses in the LGBTQ+ community," per the press release.

Bud Light doesn't plan to stop there, as the corporation is also working with the group 'Biz Pitch' program "where the winning minority LGBTQ+ business owner will receive $5,000 and have the chance to go on to compete at the 2023 NGLCC International Business & Leadership Conference LGBT Biz Pitch Competition for $50,000 in cash and prizes," per the same press statement.

"Bud Light was brewed to be an 'Easy to Drink, Easy to Enjoy' beer for everyone 21+ and that still holds true today," Anheuser-Busch said in the statement. "We look forward to extending our work with the NGLCC to continue making a positive impact on the LGBTQ+ businesses that play a critical role in bringing people everywhere, together."

The statement even highlights the history of the company supporting LGBTQ causes, stating, "Anheuser-Busch has a strong track record of industry leadership in supporting the LGBTQ+ community. Over the past 20 years Anheuser-Busch has contributed more than $13 million to local and national non-profit organizations that are committed to advocating for LGBTQ+ equality."

It seems Bud Light has completely abandoned the possibility of rekindling its conservative consumer base and has completely submerged itself into the leftist alphabet soup agenda. When the company shows no remorse for its blatant agenda, it will have a nice extended boycott to look forward to.

This company, target, now kohl's ... literally people, these companies are getting bailouts (probably with US tax $'s) so they can go ESG and still survive sans customers.

You can’t fix stupid. Cycle after cycle repeating same patterns of ignorance, indifference, apathy & complacency.

Corporate Fascism / Communo-fascism / Fascio-comunism is the opiate of the masses.

There will be no singularity.

I don't care, let them join Disney.

They need the cheap financing from BlackRock and friends like never before... I hope it will be not enough to keep them afloat.

ReRan · 2023-06-04T01:43:59Z

Saiko That's what I think as well. They need the loans.

sbc · 2023-06-03T17:52:12Z

Bud lights market has always been straight white people. They've lost that crowd. They are probably trying to entice a new customer base. It ain't going to work. They already drink white claw.

This isn't about building consumer markets. It's about ESG. Ya' gotta get that free money to keep the shareholders happy! It's the stock market 'investors,' as addicts in the use-money-to-make-money scam, that are at the root of the degradation of both morality and money. People who are addicted to getting something for nothing will reliably avert their heads and let leviathans like BlackRock, et al, run morally bankrupt schemes like CEI and ESG, if it means they'll get their fix. They'll buy into the narrative that their 'prudent' investments in stocks will enable them to 'plan for their retirements' like good, productive citizens. Actually, their participation makes them participants in the moral bankruptcy and impoverishment of this society.

But 'shhhh', can't say that, can we?

Parents who are wringing their hands over all the woke shit their kids are being exposed to in the school system, need to be cogitating on how much of the nest egg they've been building to supposedly prepare their kids for six-figure incomes has come from buying into the parasitic system that is now destroying those kids and their future.

Eventide - my endodontist gave me a root canal and her assistant both are sort of testimony to this I'm sad to report, but she dug the hell out of that tooth and despite their trivial conversation them ladies were professional and I thank them....but I suspect as you put forth these woke kids got another thing coming.

Eventide · 2023-06-03T21:12:18Z

Buffalo_Ken The majority of people have never had cause to doubt the economic system as it exists. If they're unhappy or unsuccessful, they're encouraged to blame themselves. They should have 'tried harder,' done this, or not done that. Even otherwise intelligent people haven't a clue about the proper function of economic activity unless they make an effort to start over with learning concepts. Everything they're taught in college about economic theory or its proper function is the purest propaganda. It's quite the conceptual wasteland.

Buffalo_Ken · 2023-06-03T21:15:38Z

Eventide - can't argue with that - and by the way, when I was at NC State one of my best professors was in Engineering Economics and he loved to talk about the concept of "sunk cost" - he really wanted to plant that concept and he was a great professor.

Buffalo_Ken · 2023-06-03T21:16:50Z

Eventide - did you know your image and the one presented by slbeaudry are most similar?

Is that coincidence?

So, I remember this part of my root canal procedure while she was digging out the roots and removing any residual pus and talking the hygienist assistant about her plans for the future - it seems Morocco was a destination soon to occur - with her Russian husband who didn't know how to fix things like her dad does.....I mean eff me, she was digging into my tooth roots and I was just listening to the discourse while these professional ladies took care of business - they only do root canals in this shop.

Can't deny it must get boring doing one root canal after another and I hope she has a pleasant excursion when she goes to Morocco with her hubby.

Eventide · 2023-06-03T21:19:05Z

Buffalo_Ken Pure circumstance! I hadn't noticed his/hers.

Buffalo_Ken · 2023-06-03T21:20:31Z

Eventide - well if you look close yours has more vertical attributes, but still, they almost seem like the same sunset.

Buffalo_Ken · 2023-06-03T21:20:41Z

Eventide - have a hug.

Maybe one is a sunset and the other is a sunrise?

One has trees the other a different perspective.

I know they ain't the same, but they are similar.

It must not be a coincidence.

Eventide · 2023-06-03T21:24:03Z

Buffalo_Ken Thanks for the virtual hug! I'm heading over to a friend's house in about an hour to watch Plandemic3. Hope it's good, or I'm gonna fall asleep in the middle of it.

Buffalo_Ken · 2023-06-03T21:25:24Z

Eventide - if you need sleep and the show is boring....well, get some sleep would be my suggestion!

Hoot · 2023-06-03T22:49:45Z

They’re just playing both sides for all the money. They’re build a clientele but that’s not enough! Oinkers

Eventide · 2023-06-04T02:45:33Z

Just watched Plandemic3 on Del Bigtree's HighWire website. I highly recommend it, no matter where a person falls on the political spectrum. Micki Willis did a fantastic job of revealing and critiquing the politics behind what we've experienced over the past several years, and showcasing just how much G. Edward Griffin understood 50 years ago !!!
