I hate to push down the pertinent posts about our membership drive and the Fed protest, but I read a great article about this financial situation that is good reading material/fodder for talking points for the protest, etc.
More on Naomi Klein, I'm getting her book Shock Doctrine for sure.
InBev completes purchase of Anheuser-Busch... Shit. I wonder what the total US and World market share is of this new monster company. Another article says it's now one of the 5 largest consumer goods companies in the world. Yowza. "The new company will have sales of about 36 billion dollars a year, offering consumers about 300 brands, including Anheuser's Budweiser and Bud Light, and InBev's Stella Artois and Beck's."
Good thing I don't drink any of that anyway... Please boycott big brewers, people. These guys really stifle creativity and diversity, and even if you don't care about beer, when you do drink it, at least make it something good. It's usually only a buck or two more.
Maybe my next photoshop job will be a Bud box... hmmm, back to you on that one.
