Starbucks CEO Tells Shareholder: 'You Can Sell Your Shares'

[bankside]

if your ever out my way, we can go try a cup via a clover machine... if you cant taste the various flavors in the coffee via a clover then you have hopelessly unsophisticated taste buds and will need a transplant...



The Clover's are internet updated as well so the exact requirements of whatever bean you are brewing are loaded to the machine and not left to the local operator.... simply put it is oral sex in a coffee cup.

So basically a tassimo, right?













(i jest; it sounds fantastic.)

It baffles me how these people still live in their own little worlds in which they believe that they are the majority opinion. They think that their little boycotts and protests have any effect on these massive companies. Nobody gives a flying shit if One Million Moms boycotts JC Penney for putting Ellen in a commercial. People protesting against Amazon for having a Kindle commercial with a gay guy in it has absolutely no relevance. Even if these companies see slight drops in profits, it's always short-lived and always better than changing their stance and pissing off an even larger portion of their market. Society has changed. It's no longer a scandal if companies support gays. The scandals now come when it's discovered that they DON'T support gays. These anti-gay groups are now on the fringes of society. They are mocked, they are detested, they are disregarded as irrelevant. Now they know how it feels to be treated the way we have been treated until now.

58% of the country now supports gay marriage...and that's just the people who cared enough to answer the phone. I'm sure when you factor in the number of people who just plain don't give a shit anymore because IT DOESN'T AFFECT THEM, the percentage is higher. It also doesn't account for the number of people who may not necessarily support gay marriage but support other gay rights like civil unions and equal benefits from employers and people who just in general don't think that gays should be reviled. Society overwhelmingly accepts gays now. The world people like Tom Strobhar live in no longer exists.
