How long does it take before people realize killing other people only breeds more people killing other people?
It’s been since the dawn of mankind and we’re still waiting for any realization
you know what, I like you, mainly because you are correct
It’s my best quality 🤣
Shocked Pikachu face.
He sold out to a massive corporate conglomerate and they don't support his social activism.
Who could possibly have seen this coming.
If I understand it they had no choice. It was either sell or get destroyed by the larger corporation. Who would then obtain the name once they were bankrupt. Apparently that's how corporate America works. To even get as big has they had, they had to sell. Why we all know about them in first place.
As the small company they would never be selling that ice cream in Oklahoma without corporate help. It sucks but it is how our country works under capitalism.
Tbf it was 25 years ago, the world was a completely different place, and they had terms baked into the sale that allowed for their social activism (which Unilever has tried to undo multiple times)
I don't think mega corporations have been resistant to social activism only in the last couple of decades. It's been true since at least the days of the robber barons of the early 20th century.
Yes, this was clear at the time of the sale. I remember people talking about it and moving away from the brand.
Some stats and market facts about Unilever can be viewed here. Breaks down shareholders and board members
We’re in a time that we can no afford to be silent. I applaud his courage.
I can respect not wanting to participate but Unilever will just replace him with someone more compliant.
We are right in the middle of a Nazi take over. Understand who MAGAts are. They are the Nazi party of America.
I hope he starts a new ice cream company because goddamn is B&J delicious. But I will no longer be buying it.
