Eric van Sciver is absolutely convinced that sometime in the near future, Kathleen Kennedy will announce that she is retiring to spend more time with (whatever).

It's an embarrassment to these companies when they have to admit screw ups, so these steppings down are more preferable from a PR point of view.

It's even more sinister than you can imagine.

Starbucks smallest size is called a tall.

Their medium size is called a Grande which means large in both Italian and Spanish.

And their large is Venti which means 20 in Italian.


Which is all kinds of fucked up.


Not only is their coffee overly expensive, it's batshit crazy.

Ann Althouse is right.

If Trump is considered a failure, America won't want another CEO in charge.

If Trump is considered a success, then America won't want to elect another person in his place.

If you're a CEO and suddenly want to run for president, you need Trump to be successful and re-elected.

Otherwise that angle is shot for at least a generation.

71 I hate Starbucks with the heat of a billion suns. Also, their staff love to brag on different media platforms about putting dirt, grime, and different body fluids in customer's drinks including kids.

They also brag about constantly over charging because customers don't ask for receipts or look at them and they pocket the difference.

Why anybody goes to that hellhole is beyond me.

83 I could have been an early franchisee. I went to Portland in the early 90s, and had the Starbucks experience, so when I came home, I told Mrs928 about it and that since our little arty-farty town had no coffee shops, we should get a franchise that she could run while I slaved in the salt mines.

She declined. Indeed, she did that wifey thing where they claim you are trying to boss them around.

Unfortunate. Now there are 4 coffee shops in town doing a good business.

When I first heard the blurb, I thought he was being ousted.

But the news all says (or implies) that it's voluntary.

I could imagine a bit of both.

Bingo!


There it is. The accumulation of wealth, for the sake of wealth accumulation, is NOT an inherently conservative principle, and when the left is as voracious as it is to accumulate the totality of what constitutes power, it really is no surprise that a high percentage of successful business people are leftists.


The simple truth to remember is this: All that business about sharing the wealth, taking care of the poor and downtrodden? It's all bullshit. It always was. It always will be.

96 I thought "venti" meant something like big or large in Italian but it doesn't. It means twenty because it is the 20 ounce size. There's just one problem. Italians don't use ounces, they use metric measures. So the whole venti thing is faux Italian elitist bullshit.

He will not run in the NC election so, I cannot vote for him. If he turns to philanthropy I cannot tell him how to spend his money.

Only ifhe want to run in the Presidential Election will I get a voice in the matter, and personally the way things are going for Trump so far, it will be suicide for anyone to run.

If I am the DNC in 2020, I wheel Hillary out. Move as much money out of the DNC and put it somewhere safe and let her go

Consider this. The guy is on the inside. As such, he must be protected. The company must be protected, because it is also considered part of the team. So... let this guy walk away, take some less high profile position somewhere, probably with some lefty non-profit, then he can rebrand himself for politics, and the company can rebrand itself as not rayciss.

Win win win for the left. So yeah, the media is going to spin this whatever way they can, for maximum benefit for all. Truth and justice be damned.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison


She's wrong for more than one reason.

First, Trump wasn't elected because he was a CEO. He was elected because everyone knew his name, aka Q score. He won because he had cultural cache from being a celebrity, not from being a businessman - that's coincidental. ( think how many 1000's of successful biz people are out there with zero fame )

We're in the age of celebrity and it's time the GOP work with this reality.

Obama was made a celebrity in a years time before he was elected by an overly-enthusiastic MSM in non-stop 24/7 propaganda mode. The GOP will never be able to replicate that because of the MSM's leftist nature.

Another CEO could run and win again as long as that person is a household name. The era of the 'Statesman,' if it ever existed is over.

177 I had never been to a Starbucks until recently. There was one near the hospital my Dad was in. So I went there for a cup of coffee. Nothing special about it and not as high priced for plain black coffee as I had heard it was. But the gas station near me makes better coffee so I will likely not be going out of my way for Starbucks regardless of their politics.

I'll give the guy props for providing lounges for the homeless with his own money (er, the corporation's money.) Our nation's public libraries provide the exact same services now, except they do it with our money (taxpayer's money.) It seems like the only reason physical library locations exist now is to accommodate the homeless. And put on meet-the-drag-queen shows.

"By August 26, 19 women[53] had publicly claimed that Filner had sexually harassed them, including a retired admiral,[54] a Marilyn Monroe impersonator who appeared at one of his fundraisers,[55] a 67-year-old great-grandmother who worked for the city,[56] a nurse who said Filner demanded a date in exchange for helping a Marine who had suffered a brain injury and PTSD during service in Iraq,[57] and several female members of the U.S. armed forces who had been raped during their service.[58] In the last two instances, Filner's contact with the women stemmed from his position at the time as ranking member of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee."

343 316 I think a rival coffee company to Starbucks should be started: "Caesar's coffee" . You could dress the barristas in togas and have people order their coffee in three sizes, "Veni, Vidi, Vici (I can't take credit for the use Latin phrase. Some other wag here said that's what the Starbucks size names reminded him of) However, it was my idea for a coffee company :^)

344 OT/Also, Miss America contest will no longer have a swimsuit or evening gown competition. Women will wear what they feel comfortable in.

It will no longer be a pageant...but a competition.

The mission statement changed too, but I didn't memorize it. I thought for sure Ace would have already posted, but I didn't see it.

I have not watched the show in decades, but it will be interesting to see how this evolves. It'll be a viewer draw in the beginning to see the changes...after that...not so sure.

I'm surprised the pageants are still around. With tech and media allowing viewing of many beautiful women everyday, and the changed role of women in society, it really is from a bygone era.

345 I wonder if Starbucks ever opened the stores in Ferguson and the Austin neighborhood of Chicago? They said they would hire locals and make the area very nice. Knowing how the people in those neighborhoods couldn't wait to pay 5 buck for a cuppa.

I would volunteer to be a uber rich CEO and then run for President-and I would have an advantage being a woman, although, sadly still white, but I would have to run for President at age 86 or something. I doubt my coffee shop would take off like gangbusters immediately.

The HR department where I work is one woman, the office manager. Her policy is "don't piss me off and we'll get along fine."

Helps that I work in an office where everyone literally likes everyone else. There are almost a dozen women here, and they all get along with one another as well as with all the men. There's no gossip, shenanigans, backbiting. It is literally best office I have ever worked in, and I never want to leave.

388 A kidr even many adults- will not believe that it wasn't in some way their fault, or that they should have been able to have done something, although if you have to take your life because of depression I suppose it's better to leave that kind of note. I have shared this before. I was nine when my dad disappeared-never found his body, no note. Don't know if got lost in the woods of Canada or just killed himself there. It took me years and counseling to stop thinking "If I had gone fishing with him this wouldn't have happened."

And yes, I'm o.k. and have been for years. last time there was talk of depression on here I left an article-a woman posted a picture of her daughter before her husband killed himself and a post about what suicide does to survivors. If anyone is that depressed here cal a suicide helpline now. people in your life need you. It doesn't matter if you think they don't.

396 I had to look to see if this was sudden with Kate Spade, or she had long standing depression.


"She was 55 years old and suffering from clinical depression, for which she was taking medication.

"Kate Valentine, formerly known as Kate Spade, was an American fashion designer and businesswoman. She was known to suffer from depression."


Clinical depression is a Beast. It is different than garden variety or situational depression. Keep that in mind before you judge her too harshly.
