Weird, this mention didn't show up in my notifications.

Good context. It'd take one hell of a boycott to impact global sales. AB is huge.

A lot of people on social media are acting like this boycott didn't work. It totally did. Love it or hate it, it worked.

I don't know how Corona did, but Bud Light does appear to be struggling. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/29/business/bud-light-sales.html

Awesome deal for the Jazz! Love it.

The rescue would be miraculous. So, no. Sadly.

Thank you, that was helpful.

It was probably the extreme surge in popularity. Sustaining hate for something so innocuous is difficult long-term, so people lost interest. My son and I started in season 2, and he still plays with his friends. It's a phenomenal social game.

That's my guess anyway.

He probably makes more than $180m from Jordan Brand in a year. Just crazy money.

I've got a 25 year old relative without a license. Guess what he always needs? A ride.

Not to say OP is the same burden. I'm sure you just live in a city with decent transit.

The bus in my town arrives every 90 minutes. For my usual 13 minute drive to the grocery store, it would take 52 minutes according to Google Maps. That's IF I somehow found myself at the pickup(3 miles from my house), boarded right away, and hopped right back on after shopping. We're a family of 4, so how many groceries would I be carrying through this ordeal? Probably more than I'd prefer. It's just not feasible in rural America, and incredibly inefficient.

Public transit is the slowest option everywhere I've lived(cities from 5k to 500k population).

Disturbed people, smelly people, loud music, unwelcome conversation, fights, and urine/food/filth on the seating has also made public transit a last resort for me.

Driving and all it's privileges is an absolute pleasure when you don't live in too big a city.

I agree. Missing 25 games as a professional player while your team either gels or struggles without you would be extremely difficult. If this isn't a wakeup call then 35 or 45 games wouldn't be either.
