Yes, indeed.
When you make a mistake, it’s usually a good idea to apologize. Then stay quiet and reflect on the situation. “This too shall pass,” as the old saying goes.
Bud has evidently decided to do the exact opposite. Don’t apologize. Then do one crazy thing after another to keep the spotlight on them.
They have a very post-modern, arrogant and leftist attitude towards this all: - we are the smartest people in the room - we are righteous - customers are not people, they are simply an amorphous mass that can be manipulated and controlled - we just need to adjust the words and positioning to manipulate them to the response we want
Cynical pandering. They are run by WEF stooges so they will lose millions unnecessarily because they won’t apologize and disavow the LBGT mob.
