Oh boo hoo a cooperation isn’t nice. Enjoy riding your delusional high horse!

I love to see it. I also loved seeing r/conservative melting down.

Turns out $7/gal diesel isn’t popular. Hmm who would have thought.

I check headlines everyday for the big win. Everyone at work is planning a huge party for when it happens. If I happen to be off shift that day I’ll be dancing in the streets with everyone else.

They don’t make a beer mug big enough for the celebration that will ensue after he dies.

It isn’t a surprise. You are talking to an American about an American company. Your concerns for said American company happen to be standard practice in the country that it was created in.

This may come as a surprise to you, but context matters.

I don’t think it’s matters. If you think a local coffee shop isn’t paying the minimum wage you’re dreaming. Starbucks is the McDonald’s of coffee. All fast food jobs are designed for teenagers/part-time college students. Local coffee shop sure as hell can’t afford a benefits package. Starbucks at least offers to reimburse for your four year college degree.

64% of local coffee shops close in the first five years. I’m sure it’s not because they are paying their baristas soooo well.

There is no such coffee job in America that pays a living wage, offers medical/dental/vision, and retirement. The reason for that is it isn’t a career.

The only way to not feed into that machine is to make you’re coffee at home. I’m sure you’ve never ordered anything from Amazon, or used AWS either.

Good luck with that

OPs example of too tired is ridiculous. The only time I get a black coffee from Starbucks is if I’m in a bind for time, downtown without my thermos, or I’m traveling away from my ChemX.

It’s all about convenience not replacement of my much better coffee from home.
