Starbucks

From the bastion of liberalism.

Will he be purged, or will they listen to him?

He essentially build Starbucks into what it is, from 4 stores I think. I think the woke crap started when he originally stepped down. We shall see what happens now that he is back

I'm no so sure of that he wasn't there when this started. I remember - I'm sure that it was 10 years ago - when Starbucks was being challenged for people carrying firearms into the stores. The Woke mob wanted Starbucks to ban carry. I'm also pretty sure that the fight was limited in geography because it didn't include Texas. The social media response was for 2nd Amendment supporters to go to Starbucks and pay for their purchases with $2 bills. I remember clearly the barista at the store that I went to not being able to deal with the $2 bills because there was no bin in her drawer for them. Some stores even challenged to authenticity of the bills, thinking that they were some kind of play money. I'm sorry that I don't remember more about the incident. I am fairly sure about the timing because it happened just after I started using social media.

"...Leaders, mayors & governors & city councils have advocated their responsibility in fighting crime & addressing mental illness."

I'm pretty certain Hoffman misquoted Schultz, and that Schultz actually said "abdicated their responsibility," not "advocated." That kinda changes the whole meaning of the sentence.
