Topic: Anheuser Busch

Greg Carlwood and Michelle Gibson discuss the Anheuser-Busch family's success, attributing it to "dusting off" old-world technologies like refrigerated train cars. Gibson suggests that massive structures like the Sulphur Springs water tower in Tampa were actually airship docking stations from the previous civilization. They argue that vertical integration allowed these families to dominate markets using pre-existing infrastructure.

McKay Jenkins explains why wheat remains non-GMO in the United States despite the prevalence of GMO corn and soy, attributing it to strong public distaste and market pressure. He cites an incident in Missouri where Anheuser-Busch threatened to move its breweries if GMO rice was introduced nearby, fearing cross-contamination. This suggests that corporate behavior is significantly influenced by consumer anxiety and the potential for boycotts.
