Schultz's book's cover: "A journey to reimagine the promise of America"

Is it by starting a corporation to then build your fortune off the backs of cheap labor and then in order to please shareholders slash benefits, wages and hours and when shit starts going bad you hand the reigns over to some other white dude to finish the job because you want to maintain some sort of identity as this progressive and socially aware definitely-not-a-plutocrat savior?

He said he never wanted to become Mcdonald's, didn't want to bring ovens into the store to interfere with the smell of coffee, and yet when he saw how profitable breakfast sandwiches could be, he wanted a piece of that market. He bought espresso machines that are automated and complete shit and break constantly, we spend more money fixing them than it's worth but it's fine! He implemented awful floor standards in the name of "efficiency" dictating where employees could be depending on how many were on the clock and ended up making things worse, then started slashing hours and making you do more work with less people, had DM's go into stores and fuck them over if they didn't do it the way some random high-ups who have never seen the inside of a Starbucks said it should be done, and I could really go on and on.

I basically saw the transformation from a company that at the very least was interested in how they were perceived by the public, got stock and health benefits and decent wages and enough hours to live on, to a company that was interested in profit margins and stockholders and the illusion of quality over the mental and physical wellbeing of the "partners" that they constantly put in the line of fire.

This is why Sanders>Warren. What was Liz doing while Bernie was doing this? Campaigning for HW?

 

Maduro's Revenge

 

what the fuck is "you might wanna start watching your language" is supposed to mean?

 

Oh hell yeah. Can't wait for centrist twitter hot takes on this one

 

Is it just me or does it feel too soon for endorsements

 

Warren joined the University of Pennsylvania Law School as a full professor in 1987 and obtained an endowed chair in 1990 (becoming William A Schnader Professor of Commercial Law). She taught for a year at Harvard Law School in 1992 as Robert Braucher Visiting Professor of Commercial Law. In 1995, Warren left Penn to become Leo Gottlieb Professor of Law at Harvard Law School.[32] As of 2011, she was the only tenured law professor at Harvard who had attended law school at an American public university.[35] Warren was a highly influential law professor. Although she published in many fields, her expertise was in bankruptcy and commercial law. In that field, only Bob Scott of Columbia and Alan Schwartz of Yale were cited more often than Warren.

Doing more than most of us have in an entire lifetime.

 

Yeah, personally I would wait until at least after the debates start. That seems most appropriate

 

It means "sit down, boy." This guy is a netanyahu guy on top everything else - looking forward to never thinking about him again

 

I will enjoy years of these clowns getting dunked on.

 

That's cool but none of it happened in the Soviet Union

 

What's mids?

 

Some of these candidates won't even make it to the debates. Heh, this shit is gonna go fast and be long as hell at the same time. Endorsements will come, people will drop out, new endorsements will come.

WELCOME TO PRIMARY SEASON BB.

 

I hope Schultz runs and is debated and the Sonics is brought up and gets dunked on Gary Payton style.

 

Fuck that!! If we're gonna have a mascot run, it's gonna be Gritty! The working man's candidate!!

 

I wish

 

Mids are fairly priced, reasonable quality weed. As opposed to heads, or dro, or whatever, which is good, expensive weed

 

I thought Howard Schultz was always a Democrat...???

 

Oh okay... I wouldn't know, I'm not one to partake in the devil's sin sticks.

 

Not watching The Simpsons, once, with at least like some CBD or something feels like a massive mistake at your age Jake. THERES STILL TIME TO LIVE.
