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

Posted on 01/31/2017 1:19:41 PM PST by davikkm

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 Speedway station two blocks away has awesome coffee! Several different featured blends, and great prices!

While that is interesting, it has nothing whatsoever to do with Starbucks’ plan to hire 10,000 Refugees.

First, Starbucks is saying that they will hire refugees but not saying they will only hire refugees.

There is no discrimination.
There is no volation of the law.
There is no violation of EEOC rules.

Second, the 10,000 potential Starbucks’ workers will be in lots of countries, not just the US.

Wawa lattes are way better than ST and less than half the price.

Public stated Starbucks is establishing a quota for new hires...based on religious preferences.

Or do you think that there will be a massive new outlet construction frenzy?

Sing Kumbaya!

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

If Starbucks said, “We will only hire Syrian Refugees, they would have a problem.

Instead, Starbucks is saying “In addition to all the employees we normally hire, we will make an effort to hire refugees.”

That’s not a violation of any law.

Hire refugees? Sorry, I don’t want unspeakable fluids in my coffee. I’ll go to Dunkin.

“It’s down 68¢ to $55.22 a share. That’s a loss of 1.2% - not exactly a freefall”

Yeah, the headlines these days go beyond exaggeration to super, mega, monstrous hyperbolic!!!

Full title...........................Obama Refused 91 Refugees – Sent Them Back to Castro’s Hell-Hole 2 Days Before Inauguration – Liberal Media Was Silent.........................Mexico has returned to Cuba the first contingent of Cuban migrants since former U.S. president Barack Obama decided Thursday to end a U.S. policy of granting residency to Cubans who arrive on U.S. soil.

Mexico’s National Immigration Institute said Friday it put 91 Cubans on a federal police airplane and flew them back to the island after the Cuban government accepted their return.

Previously he stated he didn't want heterosexual's business. It is past time for the Board and stockholders to remove this clown.

You can’t even give the impression.

If SBUX said, “In honor of black history month, we’re hiring 10000 blacks.” they’d have the same problem.

Since the 27th, it’s down about $3.00. Still, I think your point still applies.

We’ll see what goes one the rest of the week.

Some folks are a lot more willing to join something they already see is having an impact. This may grow.

These Libtards need to be shown the error of their ways.

As Clint said, “Make my day!”

If they are not citizens or here with a valid Visa, hiring them is against the law.

Someone wiser than me concerning stocks offered this advice: once a stock loses favor, it’s not going to recover unless there’s a reason, something new, for that to happen. I don’t see that happening for Starbucks. They’re obsolete with their manufactured food, overpriced coffee, and attitude.

........at a market value of 57 billion, that 1.2% would mean a 684 million drop in company value just so Schultz can feel good!
