I hate over roasted coffee bean taste.
Guess I am not a fan.
Black coffee from McD’s is more my choice.
I don’t get a foofoo cup holder.

I think Starbucks coffee tastes like sh## but if Fat boy is boycotting it I may have to buy a cup just to support the cause and piss MM right off.

“Right away by admitting that you had subsidized public housing paid for by the tax dollars of the American people, you aren’t self-made. You got a hand-up from us like we wanted it,”
Growing up in the projects doesn’t make the state the cause of a billionaire’s success.
Obviously you don’t understand the system: if you get anything from the government, the government owns you. Whatever you accomplish in life is due to the government.

</sarcasm>

I, Pencil is an article written in 1958 by Leonard E. Read. The burden of the article is how diffuse are the inputs to make a simple item like a pencil. Of course a particular company - Eberhard Faber, in the example instance - made the pencil. But Mr. Eberhard and Mr. Faber did not simply speak the pencil into existence; the company has to have buildings housing machinery, and workers to operate the machines. But beyond that, the Eberhard Faber workers have to have food, shelter, and normal amenities - including those required by their families.

And the same is true of the vendors who supply Eberhard Faber with the machinery they require, and all the obvious materials - wood, graphite, rubber, and the ferrule material and the enamel. All those vendors have their own equipment, workers, and supply chain. And in all cases the workers need food, shelter, and normal amenities. So although the pencil certainly does not exist without Eberhard Faber, society works together to make pencils - and everything else.

So, “You didn't build that? Somebody else made that happen?” Yes - but that “somebody else” was not government. The “somebody” was more like everybody - mostly very indirectly. It is not the government but society - as Thomas Paine points out in Common Sense, a very different thing - which makes the pencil.

How about we Boycott Hollywood until they Publicly Rebuke the Fat Boy?? But I haven’t watched a TV show or gone to a movie in 30 years.

Moore is just too dumb for words...

Somebody explain to me just how it is a boycott of a company he is no longer CEO of is going to hurt Schultz’ chances of running for prez??? Moore actually thinks I’m stupid enough to buy into that nonsense???

I had Starbucks coffee once, way too expensive and absolutely the nastiest crap I ever tasted. So I won’t be going to Starbucks anytime soon, but it has nothing whatsoever to do with Moore or Schultz...

I’m not much of a coffee drinker. Espresso or Cappuccino once in while after dinner at a restaurant.

So I’d never set foot in Starbucks, till I did once a few months ago out of curiosity. Ordered a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino expecting something like iced vanilla milk. Even though I picked whole milk it was still more like vanilla water.

Starbucks is dreadful. Horrible.

I have a $30 Mr. Coffee espresso machine. And I buy a can of Lavazza Coffee for $6-7 and make my own. I’m no “barista”, but I guarantee my coffee tastes better than their’s.
