I know it’s the second Costco related thing I’ve posted on this, but it’s a pretty big deal.
If these MAGA turds want to try to boycott, I’ll laugh my ass off because this one of the best performing retail stocks in the US in the past 20 years.
“Yeah! Let’s go somewhere that’ll charge us way more money to pwn the libs!!”
- maga punching themselves in the balls again
Owning the libs so hard.
So you’re telling me we won’t have to deal with trash at Costco anymore?
GOOD.
Get MAGA out of my Costco. Won’t miss you assholes even for a second.
Gotta love it
The new Bud Light? Annheuser-Bush is up almost 16% for the year. Sounds like that boycott didn’t go so well. I’m sure Costco would mind a 16% boost to their stock price.
I guarantee they forgot about it a week after it was out of the outra- the news cycle
It’s almost like the people who attacked Bud Light aren’t even intellectually capable of understanding concepts like “parent companies” and how much of their world has been consumed and consolidated by corporate forces.
Most of them literally think that they hurt “Bud Light, the beer company” and have never even looked up any actual information or details.
How did they even hurt them. By purchasing tons of it and then destroying it. Yes purchasing their stuff is the way to hurt a company.
They did it with some coffee machine company a number of years ago, smashed all these brand new coffee makers for being “woke” or having a commercial that said “be nice to others” or some such manufactured outrage.
The coverage just made the brand name rise to top of search terms, the videos that went viral of people smashing coffee machines became so trendy that people were buying the things just to smash or burn them on camera for views. It was hilarious and only helped the company.
I thought they were already boycotting it for dei or anything else that they feel made them be slighted
I thought these dumbfucks wanted low prices, LOL?
Now they are butthurt if companies like Costco sue to get that money back that Taco illegally added to the cost of so many things?
Must be Redhat Logic ™.
I thought these dumbfucks wanted low prices, LOL?
Nope. They never cared about grocery prices. They never cared about border security. They never cared about the economy. They never cared about protecting children and the whole laundry list of “huge conservative issues” because they are getting their values from FOX-feelings-news, not any carefully thought-out positions.
They’re just dumb people. Every population is going to have a dumb segment. Our ire and desire for destruction should be focused squarely on the grifters and networks and pundits on Youtube who are feeding this stupidity-powered machine.
The dumb people themselves? We can turn them. It’s not that hard, they are… and I cannot stress this enough, dumb. What the left broadly forgets though is that you don’t turn dumb people with smart arguments, you have to influence them the way you would a toddler. Change how they feel, then you can point them at a new target. People like Sanders have been doing this for decades and has huge success. The whole plot is right there, easy to use, we have tyrannical oligarchs who are stealing our money and hiding in boats in other countries and so on.
It’s just that said people in boats have designed a culture war so that the dumb fucks don’t realize who the real enemy is. It sounds stupid simple to anyone who can read, but I have to remind everyone, nearly a quarter of US adults are functionally illiterate. We have to stop expecting smart arguments and preaching and scolding to work. We have to say dumb shit to make dumb people attack the right targets.
I’m interested in this. Do you have any examples of dumb shit to say that might get through to people like this?
Please, RetHat is a reliable software company. They should be called something else.
I’d bet real money that most of the “people” threatening to boycott don’t live on the same continent as a Costco store anyway.
Might be a Kid Rock or two out there machine-gunning their Costco membership card or whatever, but yeah, I would not be surprised if a lot of this is trolls, bots and reverse virtue signaling.
Sad. To make it more epic, they should get like 10-15 Executive membership cards. Then shoot them all up.
Oh and also buy like 100 Costco gift cards worth $1000. Shoot those up too.
Really show Costco! 😈
Yall just constantly copy and repeat each other… it really makes it feel like there is an agenda trying to be pushed. Or yall are just unoriginal followers.
Hell, it could all be just one person anyway. It could be that he does all the posting and commenting, of every thing here, with help of AI.
Its might just be me and one other dude on lemmy… actually I think there are 2 others. The Picard maneuver and Pug Jesus. Probably just us 3 here.
Maybe it’s just too early in the morning. But what thefuck are you even trying to say in your disjointed, stilted barely intelligible screed.
Do you even speak english beyond a fourth grade level? Because whatever the fuck you’re trying to say sounds like you’re trying to insult me, but it’s honestly just kind of all over the place. Do you mean that all of Lemmy is just you and two other people? Do you mean that everyone who disagrees with you is just one person with the help of AI.
What the fuck are you even trying to say?
My advice is this:
Log off. Sign up for a remedial english course that is offered by the consulate in whatever shithole country your account comes from, and then try this post again.
Can’t wait for all the videos of people trying to destroy stuff they bought at Costco.
How dare Costco try and keep prices low? We want the government to fuck us over!
The only boycotting they are doing is on twitter while they wait in line at the Costco checkouts.
If they are even in a country with a Costco or have a Costco membership or have a Costco within 50 miles of them!
My Costco is flooded with maga, I would love it if they boycotted the store, I have some shopping to do soon.
Best time to go is about half hour before closing on a week night. If you have a lot of items, maybe give yourself a bit more time. But people tend to clear out a bit. Used to go on weekends at one point, but I prefer having the place mostly to myself…
They won’t actually. Guarantee it.
Bud Light seems to be doing fine.
That’s because people boycotted them by buying other beers owned by the same brand
Didnt Modelo overtake them as the number one beer brand in America thanks to the whole fiasco? At least that’s what my MAGA mother in law likes to announce anytime there’s beer commercials during football games.
According to Forbes, Bud Light sold the most volume, Modelo sold the most by dollar. Modelo is apparently priced as a “premium” beer.
Michelob Ultra just beat them both out, but they are owned by the same company as Bud Light.
Duff, Duff Lite, Duff Dry.
Modelo / premium : Choose one
I wouldn’t consider Modelo to be a premium beer but it’s certainly a better beer than the standard options like bud (light) and Coors (light) that are served everywhere.
I prefer Sol as my standard beer. On its own, I wouldn’t say it’s a premium beer, but relative to bud/Coors it is.
I suppose nearly everything is more premium compared to bud or coors.
Well again, my source is someone with an agenda, so I’m not surprised the info is either incorrect or lacking nuance.
Michelob Ultra is a bread La Croix.
How dare you say something so controversial yet factual.
And Guinness is just an entire loaf of dark bread with a side of coffee. Almost as if beer and bread are both grain products.
Harassment in stores drops off a cliff.
Great. Who is going to leave shopping carts in random parking spots now?
Great, no more MAGA at Costco, now I can know everyone there is a liberal hottie.
I too welcome not having to see a MAGA hat in a Costco.
Wow, I’ve never seen that at mine. In fact, I cannot remember the last time I’ve seen one. What state?
No more turds starting drama in the washrooms 🎉
