Well, with proper planning, you can work around this. Buy (2) 24 packs less often and you're good to go. Beer doesn't last forever in a can, but it lasts plenty long to sit in your fridge an extra week.

But again, the point isn't actually the maximum packaging of 30 (and wasn't there a 36-can deal on the market way back when?)... The idea is that they want to make as many possible packaging configurations as possible, force the grocery store to carry ALL of them, and then that not only crowds out the room for competitors on the shelves, but it also makes the Bud Light (and Miller Lite and Coors Light) sections of the aisle much larger, much more prominent, and puts "Bud Light" front and center in your cranium. On top of crowding out competitors, it ALSO is a low-key form of advertising.

That said, even with all this, they're still losing. Because consumers are slowly moving towards beer that tastes like actual beer.

As the old one goes...

Q: What does American light beer have in common with sex in a canoe?
A: They're both f*****g close to water.
All beer consumption is shrinking, including craft. Craft volume was down 5% in '22.

Local Austin brewery Austin Beerworks once made a 99-pack.  Promotional gimmick of course but it got some press around the country.

Exhibit A and B of your tribe's total lack of validity.

Your first point suggests that sitting around feeling sorry for yourself is the only alternative to working hard and having it pay off.
.
Your second point of 'if I don't like it, I can leave' suggests that you have no desire to possibly improve the US.  So I guess it's perfect?  But then you'll immediately say it's not perfect.  So then why not try to imrpvoe it!?!?
I never claimed this country is perfect. But I don't rely on the government to make it better. The government is the cause of many of the issues that I see as detrimental to the issues that you and I care about. The government, and the Federal government in particular, has grown way beyond it's usefulness and has become a behemoth that exists to serve itself. In so doing, they have implemented policies that either directly or indirectly have a negative influence on society as a whole. 

While I believe that we both recognize that this is an imperfect country, I don't see a better model out there at the moment where as you seem to believe that if we just move closer to government dependence, all of our troubles would go away, hence my suggestion where you could move to a country that already has that model.

His solution is that the one half of the country that isn't in lockstep agreement with his tribe should change their minds... 

...or maybe just disappear.

Great Post,except I'd take a billion or two from the already criminally overpaid defense industry and build the G** D*** wall and secure it with the Marines or rotate other military units. They actually will be defending the country - stop triffling with these drug lords and kill them. Any newly elected president should use the gestapo tactics of the present adminsitration and force Pelosi,Finebaum,Branden,Hunter and the rest to stand in the way of the mess they've created outside of their gated communities

Could be.

I'd rather we all be enlightened by the poster in question. He needs to make his point(s) and make it(them) clearly.

ID the problems and offer solutions.

I see the echo chamber is in full force this morning.

No solution is worth mentioning if it's falling on deaf ears.
YOUR country.
Fuck off.

It's your country too. 

Tell us how it should be changed, and why, rather than telling me to fuck off. That is nothing but a copout.
