D. walker, why must you insist on calling everyone who does not agree with your senseless drivel fools.

Not everyone, but when one is saying the things that Paul says, it shows that he is a fool.

Paul, D Walker, let’s play nice.

I must say, having a degree or 2 does not in protect one from layoffs, or poverty. Even if you’re a technical expert. Some earlier poster stated that a large pharmaceutical company with a small operation in the Lou isn’t there for the “talent”. They got into St. Louis on the flop, and they’ll leave in a heartbeat.

Say goodbye to Bud! I’m a former employee of Inbev. I worked at Rolling Rock brewery! Remember us? Inbev sold us to Anheuser, now they got it back.
When Inbev first took over Rolling Rock from Labatt, they held a company meeting. At this meeting, they put up a large map of the United States. Inbev laid claims that they ARE or going to be #1 all across the world except the US., and how they have plans on being #1 in the US.! Well, we thought this was great news for us, little did we know then. Now we all know how they are planning to become #1 in the US. And you can bet, beers like Sam Adams and Yuengling will be next in Inbev’s sights. They want it all. Just look back at what happened to some of their own historic breweries in Europe, Canada and us, Rolling Rock. They do NOT care about history or tradition or YOU! All they care about is $$$$$$$$. Inbev is, a bunch of pr**cks!! I know, I worked for them! I wish all you Bud employee’s good luck, I really do. Because s**t is about to hit the fan!
