Another piece of Americana sold off.....

Quote:
ST. LOUIS, Missouri (AP) -- Anheuser-Busch agreed to be acquired by Belgian brewer InBev for about $52 billion in a deal that would shift ownership of the nation's largest brewer overseas, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday.
The deal would create the world's largest brewer and put the U.S. beer-maker in the hands of Belgian-based InBev.

The deal, which is subject to shareholders' and regulators' approval, would create the world's largest brewer and create the fourth-largest consumer product company worldwide. The newspaper cited anonymous sources who said Anheuser-Busch-InBev would be the new company's name and Anheuser would have two seats on the board.

Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc. did not return messages seeking comment Sunday evening.

The newspaper said the deal was for $70 a share, a $5 increase over the offer Anheuser-Busch rejected in June.

Sweet fucking Christ. Is ANYTHING American anymore? Some things were considered sacred (Ford, Chevrolet, Anheuser-Busch, etc) and now they are ALL foreign owned. The great democratic Empire is owned by the rest of the world, a piece at a time. Really kinda fucking pisses a guy off......

Re: Another piece of Americana sold off.....

I was kinda surprised they caved, especially since it was basically a family-run company for all these years. Still, it doesn't bother me that they were bought by a foreign company. That's the way business is done these days, and I dont really see anything wrong with it.

Also, Ford is not foreign-owned. Plus, Chrysler split from Daimmler last year, and is once again "American-owned"

Re: Another piece of Americana sold off.....

U.S. businesses being owned by foreign businesses is very sad if you ask me.

A lot of the money being made here is going overseas.

This might be the way business is done today, but it is also why the economy is that way it is as well.

I think we should be much more self reliant than we are.

Buy American....if you can find anything that is still made in America and made by Americans.....

Foreign companies buying American owned businesses is killing America as a whole.

There is no patriotism at all when it comes to business.

Quite sad really. I have given up on this greedy ass country.

Re: Another piece of Americana sold off.....

At least other countries can make good tasting beer.

Personally I'd rather a tasty beer owned by euros to a shitty canadian made beer (that's oxymoronic but you get the point)
