There is power and wealth and then there is power and wealth. I think it’s enough to say that there is no Globe spanning Ben and Jerry’s industrial complex. Though I wish there was. The world will be much better place if we made ice cream and not war
To be fair, Ben & Jerry’s is owned by Unilever. And if one of those leaders showed up it might have been different, but they’re mostly British and don’t care.
(For reference, there’s more than a 50% chance you have some of their products in your home, as they “serve” over 3bill people a day. With brands like Knorr, Jif, Hellman’s, Lipton, Axe, Q-Tips, Dove, Vaseline, and many, many more. They are the world largest ice cream manufacturer.If you look at your local brands, at least one probably has the “heartbrand” logo, indicating it’s owned by them. )
Ah, shit. My wife and I use Jif peanut butter and Knorr bouillon cubes in bed and I eat a Vaseline and Q-tip sandwich during my lunch break at least once a week. Can just one global conglomerate be ethical so we can enjoy life’s little pleasures?
I’ve actually had to increase my consumption of Unilever products recently because often the only alternative is American. For instance, I switched from Ivory soap (owned by Proctor & Gamble) to Dove even though Dove is more expensive.
It is good that same rules apply for everyone no matter their status. Of course there are some people where this does not apply, but it should be like that.
When you have money and power and your ass still gets dragged out like a pleb, we’re in a different time.

You can substitute the q-tips out for regular human hair if you’re prepping for tariff season
Good #lifehack I’ll have to try.
i believe the founders oppose thier ice cream being sold in israel due to the conflict, but unilever overruled them.

Make Ice Cream, Not War
I think their owned by someone above them which is why there is no “Gaza Surprise.”
Yeah, he’s “only” worth $150. He’s not in the billionaire class. He’s not part of the oligarchy. He’s just a lesser noble.
Plus, ice cream.
Hey they aren’t dealing with biden anymore
