Ben & Jerry's ✔ @benandjerrys

We will pause all paid advertising on Facebook and Instagram in the US in support of the #StopHateForProfit campaign. Facebook, Inc. must take the clear and unequivocal actions to stop its platform from being used to spread and amplify racism and hate.

1. That is a good thing, but the price of a pint of their brand ice cream.....

give them enough profit to buy out Facebook! I won’t ever buy a pint of their cream ever! The last lowest price of a pint was close to $7.00 and that is ridiculous!

2. And that makes their action even more potent. They are a "premier" advertiser. I expect more will

follow.

Poor fuckerburg.

3. I've never bought it either because of the price but

Might have to get a bit now and think of it like champagne. A rare celebration.
I started a running list of good and bad companies
Ones who I will try and remember to support if I can and those that I will do my best to avoid. This one will go under good.
I am not a fan of Facebook.

4. Must be high in your area...

...because, in the south, Winn Dixie and Publix have it for $5.99.
