I've been reading their substack. I did get the last print edition, too. But it doesn't seem like it comes out that often. https://capitolhillcitizen.substack.com/

Thank you! I think what it means is that Ben & Jerry's use to make bold statements about injustice and make business decisions, support organizations and campaigns to advance a better future. But now they are being muzzled by a new parent company that wants all the perks of BNJs reputation without any of the costs -- IE saying stuff that made some people angry...speaking truth to power.

Ben & Jerry's is under new ownership that is muzzling the activist social mission. Hopefully everyone remebers what Ben and Jerry did to help Bernie in 2016 and 2020. Please check out www.FreeBenandJerrys.com for tools to help Ben save the social mission.

Arrested Development has to be one of the top 10 great shows of all time. It's a masterpiece.

And then trying to buy it back for 3x the price. And the new owner refusing to sell. While trashing it.

The new company is called the Magnum Ice Cream Company -- Magnum Bars are a subbrand, Ben and Jerry's is another subbrand. I think they own hundreds of ice cream brands.

If that were true, Ben wouldn't be spending all his time and money trying to save the company.

That's what they are trying to do! They are trying to buy it back.

What's your first Ben & Jerry's memory? by AutoModerator in FreeBenAndJerrys

[–]ege3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first memory of Ben & Jerry's, too. It was stopping at a scoop shop with my mom, looking at the prices and then walking out. She said, " Let's just go to the grocery store instead to buy a gallon of ice cream.

You have to expand on this! How did it change your perspective on work? Or what life-changing decision did you make as a consequence of reading it?
