That's right! Trump has awakened the everyday American. Those sick of the militant left shoveling things down the throats of the American people.

quote:

Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz will step down from his position at the company within the next month. This decision comes after the company’s pledge to hire 10,000 refugees to protest President Trump’s temporary travel halt.



I will never purchase anything from them again!

I won't buy anything from them either. Although, it has nothing to do with politics. It's more of their shitty, overpriced coffee products that I have an issue with.

My comment isn't an opinion. It is a fact. To credit Trump with HS stepping down is an incorrect timeline of events.

Dunkin Donuts makes a better cup of coffee Howard. I recommend giving them a try now that you won't be as busy.

Article from December 1, 2016

To link proof that this is not a new story nor is his stepping down related to Trump at all. Unrelated events.

Except he isn't being let go. He's transitioning to another position.

No it didn't. Breitbart with the fake news again. Shocking!

The decision came before that the transition came after.

"Our work shows a sudden drop in brand sentiment following announcement of the refugee hiring initiative on Jan. 29th, to flattish from a run-rate of ~+80 (on an index of -100 to +100). Net sentiment has since recovered, but has seen significant volatility in recent weeks,” equity analyst Jason West said, according to CNBC.
Wait, I thought boycotts don't work? That's what all the libs were saying when this made the news.

I know I haven't bought a single Starbucks iced coffee since then, and I used to drink a couple per week.

The fact that the net sentiment recovered a couple weeks later i would say this particular boycott didn't work too well. Most people are weak and have short attention spans which make a boycott ineffective.

Schultz is definitely one of the good guys. He's done so many great things for his employees and causes around the world. I wish him the best in whatever he takes on next. In my brief time with the company in 2009, you only needed 15 hours per week to qualify for health insurance and it was a huge deal for him to be able to provide that. It helped out a lot of my co workers who were just getting off their parents' plans.

There's nothing like paying off $125k in student loans one minimum wage paycheck at a time. That liberal arts degree was worth it, though.

While on the subject...don't think a thread on it is necessary, but Is Amazon on the shite list. I cancelled my account over a year ago...Bezos is a cocksucker (WaPo).
