The "Other Half" Speaks...

It's not often that members of the "other half" get a chance to express their opinion in today's America.

Nope, the opinion of those between the Hudson River and the Sierra Nevada matters little.  To anyone besides each other.  As in, One Half of America...

That's because their voice is seldom requested, or heard.  Because it's never considered as a part of our Body Politic by our "MainStreamMedia."

Those folks are all located, BTW, in a six-block area in Mid-Town Manhattan, New York City, Liberal America.  They all work together, shop together, and maybe sleep together.  And by their own admission they're 95% Liberal.  So why would we expect their slant on our news to be anything other than Liberal?  

So it's heartwarming when an event happens every now and again that enables the "folks" out there in 'Murica to have a say.  Heartwarming...

Such as has been happening with the Bud Light fiasco.  That half of the Country whose opinion is neither solicited nor appreciated finally got the chance to give a collective "finger" to those who are tinkering with its once-Greatness.  A thirty-something, Haaavid grad Anheuser-Busch hired to manage the Bud Light brand thought it had a "fratty," "out of touch" image.  One that needed to be updated.  By hiring a tranvestite named Dylan Mulvaney.  Who was celebrating his/her/its one-year anniversary as a "girl."  

Without having had his/her/its male parts removed, I might add.

So Bud Light's owner hires snitty Alyssa Heinerscheid as its V.P. of Marketing, and she hires a tranny as its new spokes man/woman/it.  And then "We, The People" had a chance to respond.  And we did so by boycotting Bud Light in the extreme.  To the tune of more than a $6 Billion Dollars drop in share value.  A 17% drop in market share.  I because nobody's buying it, I just read they're preparing to dump millions of gallons of going-out-of-date beer.  

Well, boo, as they say, friggin' hoo!  That's some reeely big bucks, there!  

As they say, "Go Woke, Go Broke."

When was the last time you heard of such a backlash? I'm guessing it won't be the last.  I sense that Body Politic is beginning to flex its muscle, and I doubt it's the last time.    

And now we have corporation CEO's all competing against each other to see who's the "wokest."  They have an index called "Environmental, Social and Governance," by way of which that competition is measured.  And by trying to make their companies pollution free, free speech free, and profit free, they're running their them into the dirt.  Disney, as an example, has lost more than $100 Billion Dollars in market value meddling in politics.  At an average cost of $5 billion per new park, Disney could have built 20 of them by simply keeping its mouth shut.  That's The Folks talking there, Mickey!   

We, The People, are finally getting our chance to respond.  And that response could lead us into a recession, and will surely carry over into the upcoming General Election.  We'll compete in the Marketplace of Ideas, where it all counts...
