Backlash from bigots.

[Ike Bana]

Tell ya what...its time for American business to start fearing backlash from progressives more than backlash from fucking MAGA bigots.


Boycotts rarely work — but anti-LGBTQ+ backlash is forcing companies into tough choices.


Tough choices, my ass. Any American business that knuckles under to MAGA bigots has seen the last of my business.

Thousands of Starbucks baristas set to strike amid Pride decorations dispute

Done with Starbucks, not that I was ever anything but an occasional customer. And even though new CEO Laxman Narasimhan is trying to downplay the hostility toward unions that highlighted the reign of union busting asshole Howard Schultz, I'm done with Starbucks anyway. Narasimhan says he's going to go work as a barista in various locations once per month...big fucking deal, it's window dressing bullshit. All the rank and file needs to do when the CEO is in town to do his day behind the counter, is behave themselves and Starbucks corporate will be pitching to the world that all is right at home. My ass...

With its exorbitant pricing and liberal sensitivities, it's wild that Starbucks thinks it can't afford unionization and that its customer base will be indifferent to their anti-union stance.
