In the past, my general comment would be: In the future, for most of you, your children and grandchildren will exist only for the benefit of the government abetted rich. I guess I can now change that to: In the future, for most of you, your children and grandchildren will exist only for the benefit of the government abetted foreign rich. | |

I have enough crap to sell my way through diapers in a nursing home, and bucks enough to dispatch myself luxuriously before that, if the writing on the wall got really bold...

Rice does not belong in beer!!!!! No, shit! I'm pretty sure they do not use rice in Canadian Budweiser.
I find it funny that people are freaking out more over Budweiser being sold to Europeans, then when the Saudis tried to buy up your port authorities. | |

| Anheuser-Busch's loses hostile take over Posted: 7/22/2008 12:45:23 AM | The surprising thing is that with all the great beers and ales brewed in Europe why would they want to buy such a weak tasteless beer as Budweiser? Apart from making huge profits from yanks with no taste Side note I never knew they used GM rice in the brewing thank god I can't stand the pish. | |

They get the added benefit of distributing their other brands of alcohol using AB's network of distribution already in place. Now they can get their other brands out to everywhere and not just a few spots. | |

Really this is the worst thing to happen to corp. America. All this is, is the free market Americans love so much. A-B was a publicly traded corporation that was sold to another publicly traded corporation. Some how I do not see this as being anywhere as bad as the current mortgage crisis, or America's stuggling economy. The rest of the world does not see this as a big deal. Many corporations are being bought and sold internationally. Canada lost control of the Hudson Bay Company a few years ago. HBC is the oldest company in the world, it also played a major role in the development of Canada, of course we were upset to lose HBC, but thats business in the new millenium. A-B is a brewery, it played no role in creating your country, it's not the backbone of the economy, it holds no national secrets, offers no security, it's just a brewery. | |
