I can’t keep track of when Starbuck’s is trendy and when it’s evil. Personally I prefer tap water + supermarket coffee grounds for pennies per cup.
Why would a Seattle person be speaking about a Seattle company on an issue concerning Seattle be using the failing New York Times as an intermediary?
Around the time of the first Clinton term the Left pushed for criminals and others to say “I’m sorry” and if they did it wall all okay. And “He didn’t even say he was sorry” meant a politician was in trouble. Not Bill, of course, ever. When he left office after 2 terms and a major Monica Lewinsky scandal and embarrassing admissions in hearings, ——
“the day Bill Clinton left office on January 20, 2001, his job approval rating of roughly 66% in the final Gallup Presidential Approval Ratings poll was an historically high exit rating and marked the highest end-of-term approval for any departing U.S. president since the end of World War II.”

I miss the old days when a ‘politician’ had to work the way up to a responsible position instead of walking out of a parent’s spare room directly into the Mayor’s Office.
“Wilson insisted this week that her office and Starbucks have a good relationship...”
HOW does the mayor have a good relationship with a business after participating in a protest calling for the boycott of their product?
I don’t think commies have figured out things the way most people do.
The skill of a liberal politician is to accomplish the goals of instituting communism while selling it as something that’s good for you while making capitalism the evil alternative.
The new left politicians like Katie Wilson come into office with a shotgun approach and just blast way with total disregard of the collateral damage, if they are smart, they quickly learn to adapt a more subtle approach which is what she’s learning right now.
Zohran Mamdani is learning the same lessons, he made the Ken Griffin commercial, which is going to cost NYC billions, he quickly learned he needs the billionaires to remain in NYC so he can slowly take their money versus taking it all at once.

The title is misleading...
Seattle is a communist-run progressive city...
Not a “liberal” city...
Liberalism became extinct many, many decades ago...
You never do or say anything creative, Katie, and that's the problem with idiots like you.
Being naturally fugal (aka: cheap) and learned to drink coffee in the Army on freezing days I refuse to waste money on Starbucks when there is perfectly good gas station coffee available at 20% or less of the price. I think the last time I used Starbucks was in 2005 when I needed wifi because the Hotel’s was nonop.
Starbucks leaving Seattle would just be more of the same. Treat companies/capital badly and they will leave.
“Those comments were not productive in the sense that they caused more harm than good”
IOW, she stands by her comments, but acknowledges that her timing might have been a bit off. It would be foolish for them to remain there.
Commies like Mayor Katie Wilson have one big Achilles Heel: Capitalism has its limits.

One word to this lesbian communist mayor, “BYE!”
She knows what she’s doing.
It’s The Curley Effect, drive out the producers, so that all that remains are the people who will vote for you.
Then eventually when every big city has a Communist for mayor, they can bring the country to its knees.
You don’t get to walk back comments like that when your the Mayor.
“Sorry, didn’t mean it.”
Seattle and Wilson have left Starbucks and many other businesses high and dry. When the mayor leads a boycott of your business it’s time to leave.
I don’t care where Starbucks moves, their coffee still sucks.
Seattle’s lefty Mayor Katie Wilson vs. Starbucks?
