Nah, it's their target audience that is dumb and the leadership is just shaping their messages for them.

Occam's Razor mang. DeSantis is constantly doing stupid shit, because DeSantis is actually stupid.

He's the governor of Florida, because the voting majority of Floridians is both stupid and cruel.

Shouldn’t corporations be able to run their business any way they want to?  Free market economy and all that?  I’m confuddled.

Oh man why did I let myself get sucked back into this? Him writing “ideology ahead of returns” makes me feel like that newscaster in Scanners.

Floridians are going to be buying beer and homeowners insurance from dude's in a white van by the time Ron is done.

Trump is a bigger danger to the country, but I think Desantis would be far more satisfying to hear got hit by a 18 wheeler.

Well it's f'ing stupid to begin with and nothing more than another salvo in his failed "War on Woke". Bud Light didn't do anything malicious and certainly didn't purposefully do something to destroy their company. This isn't Enron. This is all about not realizing your customers are just pieces of shit.

They apparently should be made to run their corporations as they are told by the government. 

You know, freedom. 

It's fun watching Ron wage his "war on woke" while he runs his campaign right off the cliff. Clearly a winning issue to make the center point of his campaign.

Hey @Poe It Up, how should a president Desantis police advertising campaigns on a federal level? Are you in support of a new federal agency that could review companies' material before being published? Or should the president just have unilateral authority to punish companies when their speech offends the position?

Curious to get some thoughts from an anti- first amendment perspective.

Just read about the whole Ron wanting to sue InBev now for pension losses that he caused...nearly at a loss for words at how blindingly regarded things have gotten, if I was someone who was paid into this Florida Pension fund and read this I would be sending this gif to the governors office every hour on the hour till Ron is gone:

Serious Brian Cox GIF by SuccessionHBO

Wait, how do you sue InBev proper for losses to their pension fund?  Are they not funding the matching component they legally promised their employees?  I'm confused?  If it's because the values of the portfolio are down, that's not on InBev.  That's on their OCIO, pension/endowment managers, and/or some other external fiduciary.  A company that size almost never actively manages their own internal pension plan.  For this exact reason, you need guardrails to keep employer investment committees from steering too much of the pension corpus into company stock to artificially inflate it or veering too far from the investment thesis/policy due to insider knowledge of the industry/competition.  If that's the case here, then I fully support Ron "Puddin' on the Ritz" DeSantis in suing InBev.  But if their OCIO/manager/fiduciary just took a bit of a hit on Alpha last quarter or veered a bit outside a couple of allocation sleeves to overcorrect, that happens to every pension every single year.  That's not grounds for government action.

If anything InBev should be suing Meatball and other republicans for stirring up a fake controversy and casing a boycott of their product. 

Edited by Horn Dog

They're not gonna sue.  They're gonna make a lot of political donations.  It's not a coincidence that Biden has already raised so much money.  The Republicans have gotten to the point where they're bad for large swathes of Wall Street.

Also worth noting InBev is up 8% yoy and down only 1.5% from 6 mos ago.

No one wants to hear what piece of shit Poe thinks. Do us all a favor and keep his handle out of your posts.

"It was not anything that was done politically." Has there ever been a more brazen lie?

So they could parlay being a blacksmith into something later in life?

These dipshits do realize that the vast majority of all slaves in the United States died as slaves?  I mean, this is gonna sound woefully insensitive...but if they were trained on machinery or a trade (blacksmith, wagon builder, tannery, textile mass manufacturing, etc.) and then freed after 20 years to ply their trade as free people, obviously that's still wrong, but it would I guess make for a paragraph or two in history books.  But that wasn't the case Puddin Pops...they were born into it or brought here in their youth, they were worked to the bone, and then died in their 50's never having known freedom.  

In 1865, after the Emancipation, there were an estimated 4mm slaves in the defeated Confederacy (which included modern-day Florida).  You'd think statistically speaking, out of those 4 million, at least a few thousand could read and write.  And of those, at least a dozen or so would have sat down to record their memoirs to paper about how they learned valuable work skills that they looked forward to carrying over into life as a free man.  I guess those robust tales of gratitude are lost to time.  Probably thrown out from public libraries to make room for CRT and Queer grooming books, no doubt!  

Already DeSantis door knockers roaming parts of rural Texas.  Whether they are home grown or import wasn't determined.   I'm sure Abbott will send out a goon squad soon to squash them.

 

I am LOVING this “let’s teach a balanced approach” for abominations like slavery. I mean, sure, the people were enslaved, beaten, and regularly raped, but ALSO, the master provided them food and shelter FREE OF CHARGE, and some of them even learned skills that could have been useful if they happened to be alive when emancipation finally happened. So, I think a “thank you” is in order!
Also, stay tuned on our chapter on the Final Solution, where we discuss that, before exterminating Jews, the nazis sometimes provided them delicious bowls of protein-supplemented (insects, yum!) gruel, and even GAVE THE JEWS HONEST JOBS [assembling munitions]! So, we expect a “thank you” from the Jews to the Nazis next!
Why in the blue fuck have we elevated literally the worst human beings alive to leadership in this country? What the fuck is wrong with us?

According to Meatball Ron and his ilk, slaves had it pretty good when you really get down to it!

There's a Cougar High site I discovered a while back that says something like 40 slaves died in Africa or on the passage over for every 100 who made it here.  I just looked up the total # of slaves imprisoned in the United States is estimated at 10 million.  3.5 million were emancipated.  What about those other 6.5 million who died, Ron, not to mention the 4 million or so who didn't even make the whole trip over?

Fucking ghoul.

How long until they start figuring there should be reparations for all that training those fine white families bestowed on those base slaves?

Personally, I tend to value a person's grace and courage under hardship and persecution far more than I value the material wealth someone has.  And it always seems to ring true that one that has an excess of the latter came by it on the backs of those in the former class.    

We went to the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis a few weeks back. The first exhibit (while you’re waiting for the intro film) is about the history of the slave trade. It has life-size sculpted figures huddled in chains and recorded sounds of cries of agony. It left me shook - and Desantis should be forced to sit in there for a while and take it in.

Well yea but do you have any idea how much a voice actor who can realistically cry in agony can make in Hollywood??  That is a very valuable skill!

DeRacist is really a dumbass fascist pig. Enslaved Africans already had skills before they were taken captive including pottery making, weaving, wood carving, etc. Metal working, black smithing and bronze smithing was thriving in Africa for thousands of years before colonialism and the slave trade.

Slaves taken to the Carolinas were sent there specifically because of their knowledge of rice growing techniques, women brought rice and okra over in their hair and they were planted here. It's not like they were bringing in unskilled labor, that is factually incorrect. And what DeRacist is also wrong about is the fact that enslaved Africans did not receive payment for their skills, they were slaves, the majority lived and died in bondage.

And no, the two parties did not switch sides. It does not make sense to believe that, after Republicans spent over 150 years fighting for black civil rights and won, all of a sudden they stood up, crossed the aisle and switched sides with the Democrats.  It did not happen. 

 

In fact the racist Democrats that the Republicans were fighting declared that they would rather vote for a “yellow dog” than a Republican because the Republican Party that was started in 1854 as the anti-slavery party was and still is the party for blacks. 

 

As author Michael Scheuer wrote, the Democratic Party is the party of the four S’s: slavery, secession, segregation and now socialism.

Slavery was jobs program.  Good to know.  Then they were freed and allowed to join trade unions, right?

it's 2023 and people are seriously running back the 'civilizing savages' play
