So Starbucks Unions go.
(Culture and Socioeconomically, 401K Sheeples never ever wanted to talk about why what used to be entry level work, becoame full time careers for so many)
Not my monkey, not my circus. I tried. So.....
*Here's to the brave workers who unionized. I hope they inconvenience the Starbucks customers - and add to their daily stress --something modern culture has tons of already.
*I hope the workers get higher wages, more benefits, and better staffing levels. This forces Club 401K clueless executives to actually have a clue.
*With any luck, either higher prices to customers, OR lower "earnings" for clueless shareholders who never ran a garage-sale before.
THEN on the flipside.....
This will continue to incentivize Liberal 401K executives, to replace human workers with Liberal created AI robots and capabilities.
*SOME workers will find other work - new industries - and work there.
*OTHERS will NOT get their foot into the labor force. They will NOT learn basic work habits and many of them will require more government help which means either more deficit and debt on you people, higher taxes, OR money diverted from your stupid schools and climate problems.
*OTHERS who are sick of it are prone to mroe violence, or to be co-opted by extreme political movements. (No, that never happens does it lol)
So, punishment....it's on cruise control in all aspects of You People.
It's too easy.
I need conquest value. I hate easy chicks.

Mamdani wants to institute a $30 minimum wage in NYC. So, if there are any Starbucks left in NYC by then, it will be "self service" for the most part.

They were too busy praising Friedman for giving the "JCs" ideological cover for offshoring manufacturing, so they could buy the stuff they want cheaper.
So, now, flipping burgers is a career. You should see how many middle aged people I see working in fast food places, and have been there for years.

BEAUTIFUL POST sir. Sorry to compliment you, i dont mean to sully your reputation :)
Indeed, the 401K'ers, shouting "Krugman nails it" and "Friedman"! were all happy bcause THEIR greedy 401K asses were enjoying the rewards of cheap labor, and to their credit - their skill set was in demand so that combo made a bunch of this cubicle ass-clowns into 401K millionaires. Ok, well played.
Steve it was no different on my side. I used to scream loudly about the "information economy" and how it's going to gangbang a majorty of america *despite* stats and stock markets. And my side - Newt, Bush, etc all shouted "we cant be protectionist!" "we cant be isolationist"! They were all on the same team. Bush, Newt, Clinton, doesn't matter they were all in on it.'
So here we are.
When we venture out of our bubbles - we see anger and desperation on people's faces.
Socioeconomics and culture---we screwed the pooch. Just think there's dogs out there bragging in the locker room "i did it human style"!
Hee hee
