Florida pensions took a bath on 'woke' beer ... and Ron DeSantis wants revenge
Strange brew: Why did Florida's pension fund hold $50M of 'woke' Bud Light parent company stock?

Florida pension funds under DeSantis also took a bath because they invested in Russia, and because DeSantis gave control of Florida's pension funds to managers who donated to his campaign. Still they're using this as an excuse to push their culture war.
The modern GOP, it's corruption all the way down.
It is impressive how consistently the "party of personal responsibility" finds someone else to blame for the consequences of its own actions.
Alternative Title: "Meatball Ron is looking for another court to lose in."
I doubt this will ever go to court. Discovery would be too interesting because InBev has better lawyers & they will get access to the FLGOPs emails. May even be able to prove in court that the FLGOP tanked Florida's financial interests.
DeSantis gets spanked in courtrooms so often I'm starting to think that's his kink.
DeSantis got to use his office to virtue signal far and wide for free in order to promote himself. So what if his behaviors are illegal and his claims don't stand up to the most basic of scrutiny? Once it goes to court and he loses, his behaviors are just going to cost the people of Florida dearly and harm them for the foreseeable future. Since the base he's catering to has the attention of fruit flies only the headline will be remembered and not causality or consequences. No skin off Ron's back. Perhaps if he were legally personally liable for the damage he's causing he'd give a shit.
Makes perfect..... sense?
5.) ImBev finds evidence of the GOP promoting the boycott in Discovery & counter sues them.
Perfect example of FAFO.
