Starbucks chairman and ceo Howard Schultz expanded on a question he posed two years ago: What is the role and responsibility of a for-profit company?

If his answer is anything other than making money for its shareholders within the bounds of the law, he needs to be fired.

Uhhhh....your responsibility is to provide quality foods and a reasonable return to stockholders. And maybe not try to force me into saying grande when I want a medium coffee.

Sadly, our reservoir is running dry, depleted by cynicism, despair, division, exclusion, fear and indifference.”

All are to be expected results, Howard, when a culture turns it back on God.

Schultz: "struggled for weeks to find the right words to express the pain I feel in my heart about where America is headed"

With that kind of corporate leadership?

And people like Obama, Hillary and Kerry in office?

I know the answer.

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
