Bud LIte lost $1.4 billion in revenue

The cause was the unwise decision to have some guy pretending to be a woman as its mascot when everyone knows that Bud Lite was consumed mostly by males pretending to be men.

Let's be clear, Corporate America [b]DOES NOT LOSE MONEY!!![/b] Those so-called "loses," are covered by Tax loopholes and funneling of monies from the Federal Government.
If an American Corporation actually lost 1.4 Billion Dollars there would be immediate layoffs to begin to recoup the loses. So we know that the "losses" aren't true.

@calicuz Please re read what I wrote. I said they lost 1.4 in revenue. In other words their revenue decreased. That does not mean they lost money or made money or any other nonsense you believe. All it means is that instead of bringing in say 5 billion it only brought in 3.6 billion.

A loss in revenue is still a loss in profits, especially the way Corporate America does their taxes.

@calicuz We don't know if they lost money or not. We have no idea what their costs are. We only know how much revenue they are down. HUGE difference

Not really, because they are a "lean manufacturing" company, and it's a "food product," that can not be frozen and has a limited shelf life. These are two major factors in minimizing overhead.

@calicuz The fact is that you can simply cut production and thus cut overhead.
