Doesn’t most of the coffee Starbucks sells come from Third World areas (Columbia, Guatemala, Kenya, Sumatra, Ethiopia, Tanzania, etc.)? So “privileged” Starbucks coffee drinkers are actually helping the Third World economies which export coffee beans, correct?
No, silly person! It is further colonialism against the third world countries as well as further atrocities of cultural appropriation! /s
Their economies would collapse were it not for Starbucks and other coffee purveyors.
