modelo is the same company as bud light so all this has really done is
demonstrate the futility of boycotting under late-stage capitalism

Heh heh heh, redneck bullshit.

The real issue is this: both beers are not very good. And yes,
boycotts are getting harder to pull off these days.

Note - This person was right, years ago.

Anheuser-Busch did have 50% stake in Grupo Modelo, but when Busch
attempted to buy out the other 50% this happened:

"On January 31, 2013, the US Department of Justice filed an antitrust
suit in an attempt to prevent the buyout. The matter was settled and
the two companies merged in June 2013,[5] with the transfer of all
United States rights to Constellation Brands.[6] As a result, all of
the company's brands are made (in Mexico) by an unrelated company. In
the United States, Grupo Modelo brands are distributed by
Constellation Brands."
