I agree.

I never liked Starbuck's coffee, which I find too bitter or burnt.

You might want to start stocking up on instant coffee.

Just saw that drought in Brazil has impacted the Robusta crop, and that's the bean used for instant coffee. On the other side of the globe, both Vietnam's and Indonesia's Robusta crops aren't faring much, if any, better.

For me, it’s not so much a BOYCOTT, it’s more that I do not wish to fund my enemy.

Another example: I *LOVE* Amazon. Hyperconvenient, quick, and I’ve been very satisifed with their customer service.

However, Jeff Bezos first took over the WashingFake Post, and made it into a #NeverTrump liberal hatchetjob rag.

I handled that.

But now he intends to personally fund lawsuits against Trump. The first one is to overturn Obama’s Immigration Order, now enforced by President Trump.

That is a mile too far.

I cannot fund my enemy. Starcucks and Amazon are dead to me.

Thanks.

I've boycotted some people so long now that I forgot why.
