Starbucks Stock in Freefall After CEO Disses Trump and Promises to Hire Refugees

Democrats and liberal media outlets shed major crocodile tears this past weekend after 109 of 325,000 foreign passengers were detained at US airports over the weekend.

This was very odd because Obama banned Iraqi refugees for six months in 2011 and Democrats said nothing.

On Monday Starbucks Corp CEO Howard Schultz announced that the company would hire 10,000 refugees over the next five years to ease the company’s conscience.

This announcement violates EEOC rules.

And several conservatives have vowed to boycott the liberal coffee company.

Now the Starbucks stock is in freefall since the announcement.

The biggest drop was Thu close - Fri open.

I don’t know how precisely order publication & SBUX announcement follow that timing.

58.59 - 55.97.

“This announcement violates EEOC rules.”

What EEOC rules does it violate?

Oooohhhh, that looks sinfully good. Waaayyy more calories than I allow myself, though.

Happy to say, I never go to SB other than to use the restroom. And I haveven done that in years.

Last time I was there, they still had separate ones for men and women.

I got one for my husband for Christmas a couple of years ago and I think it was the best gift I ever gave him.

My daughter makes hot chocolate; my son makes green tea. There’s no waste, it’s quick; my husband’s a.m. coffee is ready in a minute.

They are great! I bet your employers are very happy. :)

I have never been and it is not because I am a cheapskate. I simply do not like coffee at all.

Iron Munro :" It’s down 68¢ to $55.22 a share.
That’s a loss of 1.2% - not exactly a freefall"

Agreed, 1.2 drop today is not a freefall
However, the stock has taken an 8 % hit since the CEO since the CEO made his statement
The it came right after his announcement and continues today.

Can’t discriminate in hiring based on national origin. More importantly, you cannot advertise that discrimination.

That applies to both “positive” and “negative” discrimination.

So you can neither advertise “Germans need not apply” or “Germans only”.
