This article is trying to convince its readers that the Bud Light "boycott" is over. One, it wasn't a boycott. People stopped buying Bud Light because they don't identify as being queer. Once Bud Light drinkers switch brands, they're not going to go back because, frankly, all light beers taste practically the same. Bud Light only has its image to differentiate itself. Now its image is a queer beer.

The stock price has absolutely nothing to do with consumer acceptance. None. Stock prices are easily manipulated by HFT (high frequency trading) and various algorithms seeing patterns and applying a strategy to make money. After InBev stock goes down a standard deviation or two, trading algorithms start buying, which drives other people to buy. There's an actual strategy called "dead cat bounce". I'm not joking.

Looking through some of that, they’re not wrong. People forget far too easily. The masses are stupid, and their anger fades leading them back to whatever it was they were pissed about.

Bud light is different I think, in that the brand is not back. However, AB owns a lot, and the stupid masses aren’t concerned enough or diligent enough to cancel the brand as a whole. Not without reminders that we simply don’t have living in a world owned by marxists.
