And what exactly is your point? Anyone can be at risk of losing their job in any industry, whether it be outsourcing, downsizing, automation, or even something like this. Yes, it sucks, and I feel bad for those folks, but they'll be able to find another job. One of the many risks of running a business is keeping your consumers happy, and A-B was extremely irresponsible to let something like this happen.

I also suspect you are defending them because they're a Missouri company. I get it. I'd probably be more apt to defend a large Tennessee company too because they employ family and friends.

Cool. I still thinks it’s dumb. Conservatives are losing their jobs now and bud light has completely shed the marketing campaign.

That’s why I think it’s dumb.

This a valid point. Voting with your wallet is about the only way consumers can send a message that they either approve or disapprove of a product or corporate decision. When the boycott has achieved its goal why continue it? It would be akin to AB having come out with an ad which stated that gay folks ought to be tossed in a re-education facility and, if you think thats a good idea, not buying their products simply because they hade done something you supported. They have cleaned house, they have not done it again, to my knowledge, the outcry worked as well could be expected. No one is willing to reward their decision making to right the wrong? I don't normally drink AB products anyway but if you did and quit and will never do so again the message you're sending is to ignore you the next time...I get that it may be too soon but many are saying never again...that seems like some old testament thinking where redemption is might near impossible to come by...instead of using the stick and the carrot its using a stick and a stick...
