I live in a beach resort that has over 1 million visitors per week with a huge percentage from lefty states. Gas stations are now offering $5 back with a 12 pack and a bag of ice. This is offered right at the beach where most 12 packs get purchased with ice anyway. I posted that 5 Super Walmart's all within 1 mile to the beach are offering $15 rebate on a $20 case with nobody taking them up on the offer. Here is the Walmart offer post.

I looked at my local club store and saw that Bud Light was nearly fully stocked, and regular Bud was just under half gone. It's selling slowly around here. But the most bothersome part is that the stock seems to be holding steady or creeping back up a little. You'd think the reports of some Costco stores ditching it and the anecdotes of seeing Bud Light fully stocked most places would drive the stock down!
We have one of the largest distributors in the country here and they are dying. The mayor's family owns the AB distributor for the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Region, and they are toast. She became mayor because only 35,000 residents live in the city limits. The Elite no longer rule. Every outlet here has reduced space by 50% and require rebates or deep discounts to maintain that space.
