A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Modelo Especial, Michelob Ultra and Bud Light. Those are the recent sales rankings of the top three beers in the U.S., according to data shared by Bump Williams consulting firm.

All three are owned by the same mega corp, Anheuser-Busch InBev. Mission accomplished.

InBev does not own Modelo. The Grupo Modelo owns it.

Only outside of the United States. In the United States, it is sold by Constellation. It was part of the anti-trust agreement.

Amazing someone downvotes you for this when it spot on.

In the US, where this matters, it's not part of InBev.

If anything, is just highlights how too much stuff is owned by a very small set of companies.

My first statement was off. I know it wasn't owned my InBev in the United States but it is a different company that owns it.

When you start going down that Rabbit Hole, it is just shocking to see what companies own what.

I think we need stronger enforcement of anti-trust laws.

Bullying?? Hahahahahaha, omfg. This is business, not junior high.

How can little ole consumers bully a corporation? Hahahahahahaha

No one has to buy their shitty beer. Or are you saying people who don't buy it are "bullying" bud?

They gave the finger to their primary consumers, they even said so. And their primary consumers left.

How it is bullying? You think people should be forced to buy a product that they don’t agree with?

Why are you defending a 108 billion dollar company?
