I say the same thing:
Need a list of Unilever products. Funny, my immediate thought is Ben & Jerry’s = Soap.
Let’s just keep reminding the left that Ben & Jerry’s is destroying their precious environment with all those cow’s methane emissions, all to produce a frivolous non-necessary luxury good for the entitled 1%.
Maybe they’ll boycott too :D
Keep it up aholes. Country is serious about this “woke” BS
America haters just can’t help themselves.
The current CEO may have overplayed his hand. There are many other brands of good quality ice cream to consider.
The market is down across the board, so it would be hard to determine how much of Unilever’s decline is due to a boycott.
“The Anglo-Dutch multinational firm, slid as much as 1% at Thursday’s opening bell”
This is a dumb article - the whole market is down over 1%, so gloating over Unilever being down 1% is self-deludion.
Not that I’m against bankrupting uber-woke Ben&Jerry.
Every country in the world has a population that has changed over time. Sometimes this has happened fairly suddenly, sometimes it happens over a period of time, years, decades, or hundreds of years. In nearly all cases someone is unhappy about how it happened.
It’s a small thing...but it’s not a “loss” of 2.5 Billion Dollars. It’s the decline in their Market Cap on a day when the market is down a good bit. There is no recognized “loss”.
Anyone want to join a group to buy troubled assets of woke companies from European conglomerates? We buy, then announce non-woke, American owners!
The entire market is down about 1%.
I’ve been boycotting their ice-cream for ages.
Good. Investors are seeing that conservatives really can boycott. Look at AB.
Chief Sitting Bull: These are the lands where my people lived before you whites first came.
Colonel Miles: I don't understand. We whites were not your first enemies. Why don't you demand back the land in Minnesota, the Chippewa forced you from years before?
Chief Sitting Bull: The Black Hills are a sacred land given to my people by Wakan Tanka.
Colonel Miles: How very convenient to cloak your claims in spiritualism. No matter what your legends say, you didn't sprout from the plains like the spring grasses. And you didn't coalesce out of the ether. You came out of the Minnesota woodlands armed to the teeth and set upon your fellow man.
Colonel Miles: You massacred the Kiowa, the Omaha, the Ponca, the Oto and the Pawnee without mercy. And yet you claim the Black Hills, as a private preserve bequeathed to you by the Great Spirit.
Colonel Miles: The proposition that you were a peaceable people before the appearance of the white man is the most fanciful legend of all. You killed each other for hundreds of moons before whites stepped foot on this continent.
Colonel Miles: You conquered those tribes, lusting for their game and their lands just as we have now conquered you for no less noble a cause.
from the movie Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee (2007)
in context, all the major indexes were all down this morning. In the case of Unilever, it has been doing better today than the Dow, NASDAQ, and the S&P.
I have boycotted Ben & Jerry’s all my life. I remember when it came out in the 1980s and was touted as being by a couple of hardcore Leftists. I was in high school. I vowed to never try it and I never have.
Didn’t even know B&J sold out to the man
