Starbucks can hire all the refugees it wants, it’s competition vowed to hire 10 thousand veterans

They’re hiring the wrong people. But another company is doing the right thing.

Liberty Alliance vice president Joe Wurzelbacher, who earned the moniker “Joe the Plumber” after his discussion on socialism with then-candidate Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign, said that Starbucks has its priorities all wrong. Howard Schultz, the coffee giant’s CEO, announced plans to hire 10,000 refugees to work in its restaurants.

When 11,000 air traffic controllers called his bluff, President Reagan fired all of them–it’s called leadership

“I believe he should hire 10,000 veterans” instead of the refugees, Wurzelbacher said. “They’re the ones who made it possible for Starbucks to be where they’re a now.”

He found it ironic that Starbucks is only able to force the need for an additional 10,000 employees because we now have a business-friendly president in the White House.

“For people to be able to afford Mr. Starbucks’ overpriced coffee, they gotta have jobs,” Wurzelbacher said. “And that’s what President Donald Trump brings to the table, and that’s why Mr. Starbucks is able to hire 10,000 more employees.”

It’s crazy to have all of life politicised. It won’t end well.

No. The country has become politically factionalized, and is getting more so.

It’s way, way beyond “politics”.

It’s world view.

I saw it on a list of silly and complex orders.

I saw it on a list of silly and complex orders. I used to live in pretentious Washington where making laborious orders is considered an art.
