Costco might be winding down stocking Bud Light.


"Bud Light sales have been plunging since spring after an ill-fated social media marketing campaign caused political backlash. Data from Bump Williams Consulting and NielsonIQ suggests the brand sold 28.5% fewer beer cans in the week ended July 1. The week before, sales plunged 27.9%."

Also lol

"In response, Anheuser-Busch has initiated a temporary rebrand of the Bud Light product. Aluminum bottles of the beverage will feature camouflage prints and images evoking the “Folds of Honor” program that offers special educational assistance to the spouses and children of disabled and deceased U.S. Army veterans."

Support the gays or support the troops, an American dichotomy.

just little American flags on everything, cowards

our politicians already do it!

rock out with your stock out

let me tell you how disappointing it is to find out the rest of the nation does not have Coney Island type restaurants like we do here in Michigan. frequently 24hr greasy spoonesque places where you can get anything from 3 egg omelettes to grape leaves to flaming cheese to moussaka? every town should have at least a few, and not having this powerful, flexible dining option is hard to deal with out of state.

Grape nuts were another all time favorite cereal. The box says very few grams of sugar, but guess what your body's metabolism complicates things and it may not, in fact be part of this balanced breakfast. Which in the 80's-90's was a big glass of orange juice, milk, buttered toast, and some carby cereal.

Kind of sounds unhinged to rant about cereal but I basically considered it a meal replacement. Whoops, high cholesterol now. Owned by marketing lol

It's funny because I tried grape nuts for the first time in forever recently because I was trying to get more fiber and they were WAY harder than I remembered. Like I had to set them aside to soak in the milk for a few minutes. Fast forward a few hours later I felt something sharp with my tongue and upon further inspection it was my tooth. Half of it was gone. I broke a filled tooth with the grape nuts and the hard bits I was chewing were little bits of filling.

Lol US Treasury Chief: Ukraine Aid Is the Best Boost for Global Economy

www.voanews.com posted:



Redoubling support for war-stricken Ukraine is the "single best" way to aid the global economy, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Sunday, along with boosting emerging economies and tackling debt distress.Yellen also said on the sidelines of a G20 finance ministers' summit in India she would "push back" on criticism there was a tradeoff between aid to Ukraine and developing nations.

"Ending this war is first and foremost a moral imperative," she told reporters in Gandhinagar. "But it's also the single best thing we can do for the global economy."

Yellen also pointed to efforts to tackle debt distress faced by struggling economies, bank reform and a global tax deal, and warned it was "premature" to talk of lifting tariffs on China.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine — both countries are global breadbaskets that together exported almost a quarter of the world's wheat supply — triggered shockwaves in economies worldwide by sending prices for food and fuel shooting up.

Japan's Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki, speaking after a G7 meeting of ministers, "reconfirmed the G7's unshakeable support" to Ukraine.

"We confirmed that Russia-owned assets that are under the G7's supervision would not be transferred until Russia pays damages to Ukraine," Suzuki said, adding that Moscow should also "pay long-term reconstruction costs."

Any discussion on Ukraine is awkward for G20 host India, which has not condemned Russia's invasion but is also part of the Quad grouping alongside Australia, the United States and Japan.

Yellen also cited debt restructuring progress in Zambia, which she discussed with Chinese officials in Beijing last week, and said she expected Ghana and Sri Lanka debt treatments would be finalized soon.

She said it was still too soon to lift restrictions placed on China during a trade war launched by former U.S. President Donald Trump.

"Tariffs were put in place because we had concerns with unfair trade practices on China's side, and our concerns with those practices remain, they really haven't been addressed," Yellen said. "Perhaps over time this is an area where we could make progress, but I'd say it is premature to use this as an area for de-escalation."

Yellen pointed to other work tackling debt distress and the reform of multilateral development banks, including the World Bank and other regional lenders, in efforts she said could unlock $200 billion over the next decade.

More than half of all low-income countries are near or in debt distress, double the case in 2015, she said.

G20 finance chiefs and central bank heads are due to meet Monday and Tuesday in Gandhinagar in Gujarat, the state where India's independence leader Mahatma Gandhi was born.

World Bank chief Ajay Banga warned of a "deep mistrust... quietly pulling the Global North and South apart" over issues such as the climate change crisis, post-pandemic recovery efforts, the war in Ukraine and a lack of progress in the fight against poverty.

"The Global South's frustration is understandable," Banga said in an op-ed. "In many ways they are paying the price for the prosperity of others. When they should be ascendant, they're concerned promised resources will be diverted to Ukraine's reconstruction; they feel aspirations are being constrained because energy rules aren't applied universally, and they're worried a burgeoning generation will be locked into a prison of poverty."

The International Monetary Fund said finding common efforts to tackle the weak global economy would be crucial.

The world will be looking for joint action to address rising economic fragmentation, slowing growth, and high inflation," the IMF said in a statement ahead of the meeting.

The G20 will also discuss cryptocurrency regulations, as well as making access to financing to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change easier for developing nations."In the Global North, climate change means emissions reductions," Banga said.

"But in the Global South, it is a matter of survival, because hurricanes are stronger, heat-resistant seeds are in short supply, drought is destroying farms and towns, and floods are washing away decades of progress."

A newly agreed first step on a fairer distribution of tax revenues from multinational firms reached by 138 countries Wednesday is also set to be delivered during the G20 talks.

It's not really. The US has deliberately killed the arms industries of NATO members by refusing to offer production licenses, so that really only Germany, France, Britain and now Finland could produce the full range of required equipment for their militaries. For at least some things, from ships, to aircraft, down to tanks and rifles, members who have had their industries bought up and stripped for parts by the Americans must buy American because they can no longer produce, let alone design, their own equipment.
