Well he also provides free WiFi and a free meeting room or reading room that you can use for hours, free restrooms and a pleasant atmosphere with a wonderful aroma.

He’s not selling coffee he’s selling ambiance.

Yes it’s truly amazing how much business Starbucks gets. All I can figure is that it’s a place to sit down without having to order a meal?

This guy has some balls.
When his guys (Clinton, Obama) were winning, he was out front with a political agenda.
When his guys appeared to be losing, he started a movement to get corporations OUT of politics.
Now the pendulum has swung.

I like Howard Shultz’s biography. I think he is a decent man and has a servant leaders heart, but I was very disappointed when he cancelled his appearance at Bill Hybels Willow Creek Association’s Global Leadership Summit 717 people signed a petition requesting Schultz’s withdraw because the church was “anti-gay”

What is the role and responsibility of a for-profit company?

to make a rate of profit higher than the average rate of profit by improving one's product, or one's method of production, or by correctly anticipating changes in demand.

I am pretty sure that homosexuality cannot come about without some form of islamic like coercion into the behavior. There always is a coerced party or self coercing party.

What these hypocritical CEOs perfectly know in how they compel their workers to work for them is that of a homosexualist Kinsey type language. Many of those companies will coddle with communists because it is easier for them to pay communists to get good coverage and PR instead of doing the right thing is protecting true justice.

If a place like Johnson and Johnson stopped talking of carbon footprint and recycling, it would lose its ability to coerce their workers into making them save money. It would also get them the ire of communists who would expose their exploitation or disregard of christian justice.

It is a simple pay off
