Is nothing sacred in America?
« on: July 14, 2008, 06:08:59 AM »
Saw it on the morning news, the price to get an American company to become Europe v.2? $52Billion.
Thanks Adolphus Busch IV, way to keep that American owned tradition going.

Money out weighs conscience and/or convictions.

I never like Bud but it is really pathetic how everybody is just buying us up, and the people selling us out.

You forgot to include the sale of the Chrysler Building in NYC to Abu Dhabi.

We went through this same in the seventies and eighties as the dumbocrats and especially Carter's economics shredded us. This one looks ugly though, has a real potential to be a replay of the late 1920's and 1930's - world-wide.

So much of our money is going to Europe with the devaluation of the dollar, the A-rabs for the oil at inflated prices, and China for everything else, that no one should ever expect us to be immune from their demands - they just about owns us at the moment.

Trying to remember the economist,, but he was warning of the "end times" for America, when the Chinese, not just Europeans,  start making bids to buy American food companies, big ones like Libby, Jolly Green Giant big ones, and the huge US farm corporations. Than the puppetmaster will have a large hand on our food supply and of course pricing...

I need a Hazerita already,... :P

Um... I'll drink to that Hazcat!!!

Never drank any Bud products, nor Becks - they go hand in hand in the taste department for me.. But dayum - shouldn't American made still mean made in America?

The ONLY good thing I can see from this is it may put another needle in the voodoo doll called Unionization

RTFM,

I agree that it is 'unsettling' at best that this American Icon should be sold to foreign interests.  But we can only blame the current owners (raised on 'global theory) for that.

You've seen the Jr., Jr., Jr. Busch on the tv commercials..."My great grandaddy ....blah blah blah" It's a case of a bunch of knuckleheads who were handed a financial empire and so now they're probably "tired" of dealing with all that messy business stuff and would rather just ski or something.
Screw them and Bud- when is the last time Anhauser did anything for you?. American Icon..sure. Just like JP Morgan or the Rockefellers. How many other breweries or little people did they beat to death to become the icon they are. It's just a giant, ruthless business that got sold off to a gianter, MORE ruthless business with more money.  It's just not a big thing to me.

Now if you were talking about Old Grandad or Maker's Mark. I'll quit drinkin it when the Chinese take it over.
