Starbucks Shamelessness
By Leo Gura - March 30, 2023
This is some beautiful footage of Bernie Sanders putting the CEO of Starbucks to shame.
This asshole owns a $100 million yacht. Yet he still works his damnedest to illegally prevent workers from unionizing and getting higher wages. Well, that’s how he earns his yacht. Where does he think that yacht came from? The pockets of employees.
Howard Shultz is completely full of shit. And I don’t necessarily mean that he’s lying. I mean he’s so self-deceived with corporate culture and self-bias that he actually believes his own bullshit.
If you truly care about curbing the toxic excesses of corporate power, this is how it’s done, by the left wing, NOT the right! This is how you know that right-wing populism is bullshit. No right-wing politician would ever stand up to the CEO of Starbucks like this and defend worker’s rights. Someone like Trump or his ilk would NEVER do this. They don’t have enough integrity to do it!
Right-wing populism is bullshit. It solves nothing. It’s just a distraction from the real issues. Which is why they run around crying about pedophiles, Jews, trans, and CRT. All that is just a red herring from dealing with economic corruption.
The union-busting that corporations like Starbucks and Amazon engage in is not just illegal but utterly shameless. The one thing all these CEOs do is try to fuck over every worker they can. And then they sit there with a straight face and try to deny it. It’s their job to squeeze their workers of every penny. This is what’s so toxic about current business practices. This needs to change.
This is the real problem of “elites”. They have bullshitted themselves so deeply that they do not comprehend the damage their actions have on society at large. It’s not that they’re evil or lazy, they are just blinded by self-bias, corporate group-think, and Wall Street pressure.
