Bud Light transitions to fewer sales

 WDPE:

Bud Light sales have reportedly taken a "staggering" dive after the beer brand controversially partnered with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, leading to fierce criticism and calls for boycotts.

Data from NielsenIQ and Bump Williams Consulting show that Bud Light sales have fallen 17% in dollars and 21% in volume in the week that ended on April 15, according to the New York Post.

That's reportedly a noticeable increase from the 6% drop in sales dollars and 11% drop in volume Bud Light endured in the week than ended on April 8, just seven days away from the launch of the beer brand's partnership with Mulvaney.

These numbers are staggering,” an April 23 report from beer-centric newsletter Insights Express said according to New York Post's report. “Right now this is an extremely difficult scenario for Anheuser Busch, the Bud Light brand and for AB [Anheuser-Busch] distributors."

Anheuser-Busch's market cap dropped nearly $4 billion after partnering with the transgender activist back in mid-April. Mulvaney's partnership with Bud Light consisted of the social media personality sharing with her nearly 2 million followers that the beer company was celebrating her first anniversary of transitioning genders by creating a beer can with her face on it. It was apparently part of Bud Light's larger Pride campaign "celebrat[ing] everyone's identity."

...

Clearly, the market for the trans movement is pretty limited, especially among beer drinkers.

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
