 |
|
Miller Time in Minnesota is over -- until lawmakers reach a budget deal. The state's government shutdown, now in its 13th day, will soon force MillerCoors to pull all of its beer from Minnesota liquor stores, bars and restaurants. A state official says the mass exodus of products like Coors Light, Miller Lite and Blue Moon will begin imminently.

I might be an idiot, but can someone explain to me why they would have to leave. I read the entire article, but I just don't get it.

Something about failing to register before the shutdown. It would be better for the state to give an extension since the exit of product from the shelves could equal a loss of tax revenue to the state.

That is just stupid.... why register a label? Wouldn't that already be trademarked at the Federal level?
WTF.. We really need to get the Gov't to start controlling the states again.. Everyone is doing they're own thing, there's no national unity. I'm not expecting a country of robots, but the laws should be the laws across the land. That's what makes US united... 
/end rant.

I'm sure they aren't worried. The government always helps out the big guys. That's what corporatism is all about.

I don't really care to be 100% honest. Their beer is pretty shitty anyway IMO.... Just makes more room for more craft brews to get out there..
