TrailGuy 552 Posted February 24 4 minutes ago, supermike80 said: Ugh...Are you guys just slow witted or something? I have seen numerous interviews and stories about the poor federal workers laid off, but none by your beloved media for these. Why is your media only focusing on the federal jobs? Do they have some sort of agenda to do so? My media? I don't own any media. I'm guessing they are covering it because it's in the news right now. You would prefer that the media just ignores these people so the rest of us have no idea what's going on with our government? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why, pray tell, are they only interviewing federal employees and not Starbucks employees? Think maybe there is a hidden agenda afoot?

weepaws 3,144 Posted February 24 If trump was truly interested in helping out the economy, he would have done something to change it buy now. It’s comical when trump does change things, he’s a man of action. Trump looks at the economy and says, I’m rich, let them take care of it, a dictator needs control , to be a dictator. Indeed Amen 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get rid of people who aren't doing their jobs. And to determine if those jobs are even needed. All efficient companies do this. Why should the government workforce be any different? You want our government to be wasteful and inefficient? That:s a strange want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And pay the guy with the business model more. Here gang, line up to buy your overpriced coffee and sit in a line! Not sure how they did it, but kudos to whoever got starbucks really moving. I know their target audience is entitled college girls and ghuys. To me its amazing theyve done well outside of a college campus starbucks. The same college fock complaining about tuition, wanting a bail out, and complaining about rent costs...will guzzle a 6 dollar coffee each day. Or 2 or 3. And stand in line for it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here gang, line up to buy your overpriced coffee and sit in a line! Not sure how they did it I also used to be perplexed how Starbucks could charge so much for coffee.... then last year my wife took the 13 yo kid and her friends somewhere and stopped by a Starbucks drive-thru, got them all coffees or whatever and went on to wherever. She said "all the girls walked around with their Starbuck cups proud as could be." Never would've occurred to me, but apparently that branding is huge - even with kids. Now I get it... it's just a status thing that young folks are willing to pay for. Lucky I wasn't driving... they would've gotten cheapo McDonalds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
