Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

I either take my F-550 through the McDonald's drive-thru or I order Keurig K-cups on Amazon for my fifteen coffees I drink a day.
Last month, the Supreme Court sided with Starbucks in a ruling. The ruling makes it more difficult for the federal government to win court orders when it suspects a company of interfering in the unionization process.
Edit: I forgot to feign surprise or something.
They really don't like unions, don't they?
I like how an ANTI UNION Company Sponsored an Event where a "Union Leader" made a Big Speech at!
I agree with your premise, but from what I heard the union leader didn't give a fuck. He said he wanted to speak at the DNC as well and went on about how nobody is helping the workers and they only help corporations.
Here's a write up and video(there's a link to the actual speech)
Labor law must be reformed. Americans vote for a union, but can never get a union contract. Companies fire workers who try to join unions and hide behind toothless laws that are meant to protect working people but are manipulated to benefit corporations. This is economic terrorism at its best, an individual cannot withstand such an assault.”
That's just BS propaganda. The teamsters already talking about not endorsing the Democrats this year. His appearance that convention was an incredible political victory for the Republicans. His speech doesn't even matter. It's that he was there alone and the political victory that entails. I don't know how people are missing that. He's just a scummy class traitor who's trying to transition for a quick buck.
For those who didn’t know
Is that because they mostly make money from democrats but in some specific places it's more profitable to pay republicans instead?
It's probably because they're mostly making money in cities and cities are mostly run by Democrats. I don't think they give a fuck who their customers prefer.
It costs less to get a Republican to oppose unions.
It's common for big corps to donate to both parties, so they get some influence either way. Maybe they think the Democratic Party are more likely to win, or it's counting donations for previous elections.
It's more profitable to them to sell their coffee to Democrats while being taxed by Republicans
Pepsi owns SoBe? Is that the reason why it comes in those shitty plastic bottles now? The glass ones were perfect for turning them into waterfall bongs. All you had to do was just tap the indent with a hammer and nail, and it would form a perfect little hole. Miss doing that in my 20s when I was too broke to buy a proper pipe.
I liked them better when they made mermaid porn.
Expensive and bitter.
Shit coffee for shit people randy
Looks like the article was taken down and The Hill is the only source for this news I can find with a very quick search. Maybe it was a mistake?
Article deleted, and the only other sources I can find are a couple tweets. Is anyone able to find a source before I make an angry post on social media?
Well that's even worse
I'd say it's just bad in a different way.
Starbucks has been trashing the environment for decades anyway so their Republican endorsement is very on brand
People still drink that shit?
They burn all their coffee somehow. I've never understood how they managw to make evwry single item taste burnt. XD
charbucks
It's made that way so they can add all their sugared flavorings to it and have it still resemble a coffee drink.
And fuck Starbucks.
Dutch bros. for the win
I can get a shit ton of caffeine and L-theanine for the price of a couple cups of coffee at Starbucks, I like the taste of coffee but not that much.
