Into "Public Service or Philanthropy"

[E. Pluribus Unum]

His work communizing Starbucks is done.

[Skywise]

He’ll now run for President to do the same thing here

[FlingWingFlyer]

Will he still be able to use the Starbuck’s bathrooms?

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Possible run for President.....

[Drango]

He’s running for office.

[beergarden]

I’ll bet he’s actually never been to the really sh*tty Starbucks in the downtown core.

[ “I set out to build a company that my father, a blue-collar worker and World War II veteran, never had a chance to work for. Together we’ve done that, and so much more, by balancing profitability and social conscience, compassion and rigor, and love and responsibility,” he said. ]

Was his father also a SJW for poofter marriage?

[HombreSecreto]

Another CEO gone.

[Williams]

That and $5.80 will get him a cup of coffee.

[Steely Tom]

Another CEO gone.

Yup. Another CEO blows himself up by virtue signaling.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Boom?

[NohSpinZone]

He was no longer the CEO of Starbuck’s. A guy named Kevin Johnson was. He’s stepping down as chairman of the board.

Trump has made a number of billionaires think it would be easy to be president. Why you just declare and you’re 90% of the way there...

They under credit Trump for the hard work he put in to prevail over 16 other candidates. They also fail to take into consideration his style, that insulates him from the press being able to damage him or take him down.

It might be very educational for some of these billionaires to go ahead and give it a shot. We can watch them flounder like Mitt Romney and Meg Whitman.

Trump is the man, and these folks have no grasp of what all that entails.

[mewzilla]

Did he jump or was he pushed...?

[Lizavetta]

by balancing profitability and social conscience

Bullshit. Tell that to the Vietnamese Montagnard coffee growers whose land was confiscated by the Vietnamese government who sells beans to Starbucks. AND YOU KNOW IT, MR. SHULTZ.

Another lying liberal sack of sh*t.

[Williams]

Yeah an ulta leftist coffee company exec, just what we need. Not.

[Williams]

Communism is his sense of social justice.

[Yo-Yo]

Myron E. Ullman, former chairman and CEO of J.C. Penney, was named chair,

Because Ullman did such a fantastic job running J.C. Penney into the ground.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’ll bet you’re right.
