    Coors Family ≠ Molson Coors

    The Coors family are indeed pieces of shit, but they own ~10% of the company. The company is mostly owned by institutional investors. Don’t get facts mixed. Coors family is shit? Fact. Molson Coors was a champion of inclusivity? Also fact. These are not mutually exclusive.

      The company is mostly owned by institutional investors.

      This is an (unintentional) euphemism for “the company is mostly owned by regular middle-class folks via the mutual funds in their retirement accounts, but the Vanguard/Blackrock/Fidelity/etc. fund managers have stolen their shareholder voting rights.”

      Personally I can’t abstract the history of it being a fascist beer, just because it merged with a less fascist beer and various grand children sold their shares so they only own a tenth of the company their grandpa was using to fund the modern conservative movement that seeks to dismantle the very inclusivity it was offering to it’s own employees.

      I just can’t square the circle there, maybe they were mitagating some of the damage they were causing by being inclusive, but calling them heroes is a bit rich for me.
