No more BDS for you! It turns out once again that there is a high cost for companies playing woke games.

| #5 BEN has nothing to do with ice cream. Ben & Jerry's is owned by Unilever which also hasn't been doing very well but B&J is a small part of it. |

| #4 Businesses should stick to Business and leave it to the Rev's, Hollywood has-been's and Politicians seeking camera time for votes. Because playing with Social-Politics tends to piss-off a lot of customers. BEN Stock 1 year ago today $36.19, today $23.31 a -35.58% drop since being "Woken" |

| #3 Israel could just stop being so awful. Given that the first round of BDS kicked in about a century ago — the Arab League boycotted Jewish goods back when Britain was in charge of that part of the world — it sounds like what you really mean, Mr. Albemarle Snerert7268, is that Jews are icky. |

| #2 Israel could just stop being so awful. That would stop this BDS movement in its tracks. Remember that time they blew up all those unarmed civilians? Yeah, stop doing that. |

| #1 Todays US CEOs are woke idiots. And the value of US company stocks crashing all over the place proves it. |
