There is a word for when big corporations go over to the “Left.” It’s called Fascism.

I have a wallet full of Starbucks gift cards that people at work have given me at Christmas time, and which I never use.

Give 'em to homeless people. That way they get some sugary carbs, and the people who profess to care about the poor, and who voted for the policies that perpetuate poverty, get to spend some quality time with the fruits of socialism.

Are they still encouraging their employees to write “Race Together” on the cups.

Like many I’ve been boycotting them for years because their coffee tastes like burnt dishwater.

Speaking of elections this story was posted about Austria considering postponing a second presidential re-run ordered by a court.

The anti-migrant candidate’s party successfully challenged the first election in court, causing the re-run election that may now be cancelled.

I do not partronize “Starbucks”. a number of years back while transiting an airprt, I bought a cup of coffee, and a buttered bagel. The coffee was Ok, but the bagel was as stale and hard as can be. Both items cost me about ten bucks with tax. To me, that was a big rip for little quality product. McDonald’s makes a better cup of coffee for seniors, that costs under a buck. and...if I go to Einsteins Bagels, I get a better bagel and cup of java for about six bucks.

“Starbucks” can endorse whoever they please...I could care less. IMHO, when a celebrity or business makes a politcal endorsement, it only serves to hurt their own career or business. Having half of your customer base ticked off at you for no good reason is an insane business practice. No...I will not boycott “Starbucks”....but, I will never patronize them again because of poor quality product!!! Their “not-tpp-bright-CEO is lost at sea in Clinton/Obama, LALA Land”!!! The vast numbers of common Americans, of all stripes are not!!!

I boycott them because I think their overpriced mediocre coffee is just that. I once got a $25 gift card for Xmas and used it. I would 35,000 times rather support a small individually-owned coffee shop who can give me the thick dark mud I like than pay for diner coffee.

I think I will go to a Starbucks drive through today, order 6 of their most expensive coffee drinks, pull up to the window and tell them “sorry, I left my wallet at home” then drive off.

I’m a dyed-in-the-wool coffee drinker, but have never been to Starbucks.
