It probably wouldn’t cost a lot of money to hire a van and driver to collect and pay street people $5 each to take a ride to the local Starbucks to wash up in the restroom.

I couldn’t tell you; I went but I was in the restroom masturbating.

They virtued signaled themselves into an untenable situation.

Thanks!

You are more responsive to your readers than any writer/blogger I know.

My guess is that some Jews and some blacks told a lot of white people to stop being so damn racist.

For what it is worth – I read that Starbuck’s black employees do not have to attend. But why wouldn’t they? Along with black & minority customers they are the stars of whitey’s self flagellation enterprise.

The struggle session will make it easier to recruit baristas to the alt right.

I didn’t expect my cyberpunk world to be so faggy or so boring.

This is insane. Bakery in Portland fired employees after they declined to serve a woman who came in after they were already closed.

Yes lots of that.

However I’m sure SB management will also be taking people aside for quiet off-the-record instruction in how to eject undesirables from stores without causing a scandal. I suspect that is the real purpose of this exercise.

Look for more rotten egg splatter all over the place for Starbucks.

Farm wages rise as labor supply tightens

It’s hard work, but Joan Ibarra gladly harvests bok choy eight hours a day in the Bakersfield sun.

Competition for farmworkers has gotten so tough lately that the 19-year-old now earns $12 per hour, plus a bonus for high productivity — more than he has ever made in his six years working local fields.

The horror, the horror…

We might actually have to pay our slaves.

Fwiw, still lower pay than the garlic farm mentioned here a while ago.

https://www.unz.com/isteve/youll-never-guess-how-this-silicon-valley-farm-solved-its-labor-problem/

The big corporate lesson here is that if you’re going to do something like this, do it straight after the incident that gave you the initial bad publicity (say one week later).

Starbucks has extended the story for, what?, a month for no reason whatsoever. It should be long forgotten by now.

Imagine slighting a Party Member like that. They practically fired themselves!

OT: ABC cancels Roseanne after her Valerie Jarrett tweet:

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/roseanne-canceled-at-abc-racist-tweet-1115412

I enjoy a good troll as much as the next guy, but that tweet seemed a bit gratuitous and frankly stupid.

We’ll have to wait for reports of any white or honorary white employees having been stupid enough to admit to racist feelings in any of these sessions.

It’s difficult to imagine anyone being that dumb, but somehow at the same time it’s difficult to imagine anyone not being that dumb given the sheer numbers.

One imagines that there will have been summary firings for failure of whites and honorary whites to participate with sufficient enthusiasm.

It was an eye-roller but she gave a grovelling apology almost immediately, to no avail. One lesson I hope everyone can take from this is that apologizing is worthless at best when dealing with the left.

The Seattle coffee chain on Wednesday announced plans to build nearly 3,000 new stores in mainland China over the next few years. It’s aiming to almost double its number of coffee shops in the world’s second largest economy, from 3,300 at the moment to 6,000 before the end of 2022.
That means opening 600 new Starbucks a year in China — or one every 15 hours — a significant increase on the company’s earlier goal of around 500 a year.

The US homeless situation roundes to zero compared to global market. Expect to see managers on their own regarding common sense. Its about the brand, not the 1,000 or so US stores that may have problems.

Yeah, that wasn’t politically incorrect. It was stupid and in poor taste.

I was advocating for this weeks ago! I will gladly sponsor ten black homeless men to go spend their day in a Starbucks in one of our nicer, preferably jewish communities.

She probably knew she was going to get fired anyway, so she probably didn’t give a damn anymore. It sounded more like a drunken tweet than a mean tweet to me.

I’ll support this when liberals get their shows canceled for gratuitous and stupid tweets.

Hilarious attempted “deportation” story. The best part is when the seemingly Chinese-American female said this:

“If you cannot speak English, you are not going to be able to stay here,” added a woman whose voice alternated between English and Mandarin.

If Chairman Howie is non compos mentis, but has Pozzed all the upper management over the years, the Starbucks board of directors will have both internal and external political problems in getting him out. Could be an early senility trainwreck being played out on a national stage.

I’ll accept your reasoning when offensively bad tweets get progressives’ shows cancelled and “offensiveness” doesn’t only work one way.

Are we better than our enemies or just the same? If former, we have the moral legitimacy to win. We deserve to win. If latter, it’s all just about who wields power.

Well, from this preview video of the training day by Starbucks, the event looks to be as grating as you could imagine. The white employees better limber up and lube up because they’re about to get it good and hard.

https://news.starbucks.com/news/starbucks-curriculum-preview-for-may-29

The higher-up white executives are my favorites. Hope the regular white employees see just how easily their betters will throw them under the bus. (In the executives’ defense, I bet they buy all of this BS.) Also, I’m sure Schultz will give a rousing “My Fellow White People” speech.

Oh really. A flight school actually pays attention to foreign students who might be breaking laws and you want to quibble about the practicality of a piper cub crossing the Pacific.

They’re not our enemies or our equals, they’re rebellious children. In this case playing “fair” is mistaken.

Loser thinking

If they had to attend there would be an issue of punctuality.

I hope Starbucks goes down the toilet. Couldn’t have happened to a better hypocrite. Howard Schultz told Starbucks investors that the only way for Starbucks to grow is through mass immigration to America. The rich fuck needs a few more billions while he flushes America down the toilet.

I doubt it. Corporate management doesn’t really care how uncomfortable this makes the front line workers. Plus they have backed themselves into such a corner that there really isn’t a way to eject undesirables without causing a scandal.

Maybe it is different in other parts of the country, but where I live, it appears Starbucks gets more business through the drive up window than people sitting in the store drinking coffee. This article would claims that is the case nationwide. Having 70% of sales come through the window is consistent with what I have heard about other fast food places. If they have stores where undesirables cause problems or pose a safety risk, they will change the location to a drive thru only location and close the seating area. The small amount of lost sales will be insignificant compared to dealing with these other problems.

http://business.financialpost.com/news/retail-marketing/as-starbucks-embraces-the-drive-thru-a-few-speed-traps-ahead

This reasoning seems familiar somehow.

If former, we have the moral legitimacy to win. We deserve to win.

Too bad we never will.

Was that really the tweet that did it? Roseanne was prolific on Twitter today, retweeting something about Tommy Robinson, taking shots at Chelsea Clinton and George Soros…

https://twitter.com/therealroseanne/status/1001457150344945664

From today’s Starbucks main page:

We are closing early as our teams reconnect with our mission and each other.

Word is everyone received a leftover Confetti Hearts Cake Pop suppository.

Meanwhile, Randa Jarrar still has her job.

Roseanne was the highest rated scripted show on American television:

“Either way, Roseanne is the highest-rated and most-watched series of the broadcast season, eclipsing NBC’s This Is Us and CBS’ Big Bang Theory — which had been in a heated battle for top status.”

Not only that, it disproportionately attracted younger viewers, pushing it ahead as more valuable than NBC’s “the Voice” which had higher ratings overall.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/tv-ratings-roseanne-finale-dips-but-dominates-abc-1114311

I thought it was great TV.

They got on their knees and begged the gay-trans-Jewish-feminist-black-Muslim immigrant for forgiveness. And the gay-trans-Jewish-feminist-black Muslim immigrant complained about tired they were, and how whitey still had a lot of work to do.

God forbid a comedian make a joke in poor taste that could offend a black or Muslim. Purge her!

Megaphone. Hollywood has not cared about money in decades. No one owns anything and a hit or flop execs and producers and agents get paid the same… lots.

No one is hungry and virtue signal all the way.

Yeah, that wasn’t politically incorrect. It was stupid and in poor taste.

I see this but we don’t live in a society that prizes intellect or good taste – quite the opposite.

When decorum and good taste is prized and bad taste decried by all, we can get upset about Roseanne’s tweet.

Additionally, it’s in the very nature of comedy that comedians are going to go over the edge of good taste from time to time in an attempt to be funny or satirize. The fact of the matter is that Jarrett bears a more than passing resemblance to the character Zira. I think this is what Roseanne was thinking while tweeting.

My summum bonum is for nobody to get fired over a tweet. But if those are the left’s rules I sure as fuck support holding them to them. The same as I’d prefer for there to be no terror bombing, but if we’re at war I sure as fuck support giving it to them ten times what we’re getting. If it soothes your delicate psyche, remember that we’re in the realm of pure hypothetical; no leftist show is ever getting canceled over a tweet (unless it offends fellow leftists).

I couldn’t tell you; I went but I was in the restroom masturbating.

I know, and you were making so much f**king noise, I was having trouble hitting a vein. Have some manners!

It was stupid and in poor taste.

Tasteful is smooth and smooth is full taste menthol refreshment.

Maybe it will get picked up by another network. I don’t think Newsmax can afford it though.

Roseanne also got dropped by her talent agency today. Hollywood Jewish nepotism doesn’t seem to be coming through for her.

Throughout my life, I have always based my political ideas and actions on firm and hopefully consistent morals (“moral legitimacy”), but, very sadly, my experiences during the past 10-15 years and frequent encounters with racial grifting, anti-white, uber race conscious, people of color and (self-loathing) white guilt, social justice liberals has taught me that, behind the thin veneer of their supposed moral legitimacy, they believe and have made the conflict “all just about who wields power.”

That may be no excuse for bad behavior from “us,” but the structural and cultural conflicts are indeed “all just about who wields power.”

Fuck it all, I want to win.

OT Tommy Robinson
It has come out that the judge who sentenced Tommy Robinson to thirteen months for criminal journalism was actually a witness to the arrest and was therefore not legally allowed to pass sentence.
This is plenty of grounds for Robinson to appeal.
There was a tremendous popular response to the arrest over the weekend, with several former police officers denouncing it, and ideological crossover for free speech.

OT:

I wonder if Sailer has any thoughts on that Solo movie tanking. A Forbes writer tried blaming the presence of too many white males in the movie, never mind the success of movies like The Avengers and Deadpool. Previously, Sailer wondered how bad the SJW takeover of Hollywood would get. Seems to be getting pretty bad as these people have doubled down on an extremely unlikely explanation; GLAAD is also demanding that 1/2 of Marvel’s movies have LGBT-QWERTY representation by 2024 (goodbye India and China audiences). The obvious explanation is that audiences were turned off by 1. the writer claiming Lando was “pansexual” (goodbye family audience) and 2. the narrative failure of The Last Jedi.

As one comic book reviewer on YouTube is fond of saying, “we live in a post profit industry.” In other words, profit matters less to these people than being on the right side of history.

It was a nasty tweet worthy of sanction but cancelling the show a few hours later is rash. It’s crazy and short sighted, not something you expect leaders to do. They shouldn’t react to Twitter outrage immediately.

This will blowback on them. It becomes part of the culture war because of where Roseanne’s fans live, Middle America. Fox and Breitbart are already pushing back on her firing. Good chance Trump chimes in support.

I was thinking that but doubt much of the cast follows her. Think it’s a wrap, we’ll see.

“Hollywood Jewish nepotism doesn’t seem to be coming through for her.”

If anything, it’s worse for her as they view her as a traitor. Same with Cosby having his get out of jail free card revoked once he went off the approved narrative.

I had to sit thru that crap, I think we all have. But I had a decent salary, job security and it was worth sitting thru the crap.

But for minimum wage, especially part time minimum wage? Work is bad by itself but to be bullied and harangued by some liberal POS for minimum wage?
No wonder so many people go on welfare.

One thing homeless bring is bedbugs fleas and lice. The Santa Mongca public library is a homeless center and is infested with fleas.

The big downtown train station in Los Angeles had to fumigate everything and reupholster all the chairs. There is now a policy you have to have a ticket to be there.
The operations center was infested with bedbugs because bugs like the warmth of the computers, printers light fixtures etc. employees brought bedbugs home.

It’s hard on those restaurant retail customer jobs. The help is supposed to placate and be nice to the customers but at the same time make the customers observe the rules.

Chelsea’s father in law served 5 years in federal prison for numerous financial crimes.

Probably too much cocaine or liquor when she wrote the tweets.

OT, but re Steve’s observations about the poor showing of the Indian subcontinent in sports

a) men’s field hockey – India or Pakistan or both were Olympic medallists in every games from 1928 to 1976 i.e. in the days when Western teams were amateurs i.e. weren’t effectively state funded as the UK team has been for decades.

b) squash – (US version is racketball) not yet an Olympic sport but a ridiculously intense and athletic game – I used to walk off sub-zero courts in winter dripping with sweat. A Pakistani guy called Khan won 14 out of 16 world titles between 1981 and 1996 (Egyptians currently dominate the world championships).

c) cricket – India and Pakistan have some of the best players in the world, and the days of players being talented but unfit or overweight are long gone.

Agreed. Plus there’s a big difference between firing her and cancelling a show, thus putting hundreds of people out of work. (Though perhaps in this case the two were inseparable.)

Based on my personal experience with corporate mandatory training (fortunately not race related) most people will suffer through it, make jokes about it with coworkers they are friendly with, and knowing Starbucks some scold will overhear this and report them to management…starting the whole cycle of flagellation over again.

I particularly like how this will soon encourage coworkers to report on each other for thoughtcrime.

What a great place to work in!

@23 Twinkie: “Are we better than our enemies or just the same? If former, we have the moral legitimacy to win. We deserve to win. If latter, it’s all just about who wields power.”

This, after I wrote I disagreed with you but respected your views? Why’d ya have ta go all ‘TruCon’ virtue signalling, Twinkie? Morality may represent the ultimate “win” (i.e. we Christians know Jesus triumphs in end times), but its record here among fatally-flawed humans ain’t so hot. Those who prattle about morality in politics have, most recently, fielded Egg McMuffin for president (where morality = neocon zionism) and racially diversifying Whites out of existence (David French and fellow churchians parading around their very own Negro adoptees).

Commie or not, Mao was not wrong when he said political power comes from a gun barrel. Ethno-nationalist Whites are jailed in the UK and the US (see: Charlottesville) and Whites who dare to utter angry words to numinous Negroes/mellifluous mulattoes/omniscient orientals/salubrious subcontinentals) are jailed for the crime of hurting feelings. Of course it’s about “who wields power.” It’s always been a question of who/whom. I’d prefer White Europeans be the ‘who,’ at very least in their historic native lands. Morality doesn’t particularly enter into racial reality and real-world tribalism (which all varieties of Asians/Orientals possess in spades, as well, if you’re being honest here).

“We deserve to win” depends heavily on how one defines “we” and whether or not one equates “deserves” with some esoteric notion of morality or with what best conforms to realism. In regard to politics, I much prefer the latter. That’s what TruCons used to claim they represented. Now, they’ve switched to backing ‘morality’ as personified by color-blind equalitarianism, and the Hard Right supports reality. I know which side I’m on, and which has better odds in a fallen world of very broken people – which cannot and WILL not be ‘fixed’ by political morality or any other human endeavour.

Not exactly. The Whites were told they are inherently evil, destined to disappear because of non White immigration and a curse on mankind.

I wonder if the diversity trainers are still telling White women are racist and subject to firing if they reject sex harassenrbt by Black & Hispanic men?

From the NYT:

The North’s Jim Crow
By Andrew W. Kahrl

Last month in Philadelphia, a white Starbucks manager summoned police officers to confront a pair of African-American men after one asked to use the restroom before he had purchased a drink. …

“Quality of life” laws serve as a potent instrument of racial segregation. They provide commercial establishments, law enforcement officers and everyday citizens with tools enabling them to police racial boundaries while at the same time claiming to simply be upholding the law. …

…As white segregationists in the South were placing “whites only” signs in the windows of restaurants, in the North, more enlightened (or, rather, more savvy) white proprietors and public officials realized that rules restricting public spaces to local residents and the strict but selective enforcement of laws against things like disorderly conduct and loitering could be used to impose racial segregation. …

…In the 1930s, Long Branch, N.J., passed an ordinance requiring all residents to apply for a pass that would allow access to only one of the town’s four public beaches. Town officials claimed the rule was meant to prevent overcrowding. Without exception, though, black applicants were assigned to the same beach and were denied entry to the others.

NYT: All the news from the 1930s that’s fit to print!

He continues:

It will take more than sensitivity-training sessions and the public shaming of racist, hypervigilant white women to dismantle today’s system of segregation. Limiting the power of white people to use the law to act out their vision of a “quality” life that excludes black people is a place to start.

Andrew W. Kahrl, an associate professor of history and African-American studies at the University of Virginia, is the author of “Free the Beaches: The Story of Ned Coll and the Battle for America’s Most Exclusive Shoreline.”

“Red Starbucks”

Will there be sessions for upper management teaching them they need to lead by example in not being racist by moving into black and Hispanic neighborhoods and sending their children to public schools in those neighborhoods?

In the Chinese Cultural Revolution, students supposedly were encouraged to eat their teachers.Will that be the fate of racist employees or will they merely need to parade through the streets will a sign proclaiming that they are counter revolutionaries?

I used to associate Starbucks with bad coffee. Now I am beginning to associate it with community theater.

Also known as The Chestnut Tree Cafe.

Dutch, Add in Pachelbel’s Canon in D for the single black mom’s, Nessun dorma for all the slugs sleeping at the tables and Panis Angelicus for those who want a bagel with their latte and SB become a musical destination.

My guess it’s that they were looking for an excuse to cancel it to virtue signal to their peers, as SJW love to do, that they put being woke over making money and speaking to their audience. I imagine that Roseanne’s ratings didn’t go over well at cocktail parties.

That’s a good idea for local, competing coffee shops.

At the risk of putting on my tinfoil hat, I’m willing to bet that ABC canned Roseanne because of the Soros stuff and the Jarrett thing just gave them a convenient out.

The ABC vs. Roseanne incident is effectively indistinguishable from a kayfabe/”worked shoot” PR gimmick. I’m sure someone already prophesied that exact sequence of demise earlier this year, maybe the eponymous figure in the show herself. I realize the ratings were (relatively) strong but don’t necessarily believe that it was an automatic renewal. And by slamming the door this way, albeit short of the full Howard Beale treatment, the internal hot-potato politics at the network are tied up with a bow. I can’t believe I’m thinking in this kind of false-flag moonbat vein, it might be the strained quality of the offending tweet. You can say plenty about Valerie Jarrett but “Islamic fundie hillbilly” is just a stretch. It doesn’t parse comedically.

Starbucks, like other major companies based in Seattle, opposes the proposed employee-hours tax. John Kelly, the company’s top executive for public affairs and social impact, says the city should reform its homelessness programs and show results before it seeks more money — a message the company has sent before.

Kelly said the tax itself and what it would cost the company are beside the point. He claimed Wednesday not to know how much the coffee giant would pay under the proposal to raise $75 million a year housing and homelessness services.

Starbucks is aware of the homeless issue and doesn’t feel like it has solve it by themselves. Starbucks customers like to think of themselves as progressive, but are notoriously NIMBY. Of course, there is the third rail of black homeless. Starbucks is very SWPL, and won’t appeal to people of color. Overall, they had to do something and this wasn’t the worst. If it redpills some baristas, all the better.

HA. Someone should string together a few George Lopez gigs. ABC employed him for years, had his own series. ABC wasn’t bothered by his outright hate. With Lopez, it’s real, not joking.

Then, there’s “Blackish,” which takes shots at Trump voters, conservatives, whites all the time.

Wanda Sykes, black comic, said she’d never appear on Roseanne again (this before ABC cancelled it. Sykes? Her standup is full of whitey put downs, although admittedly she doesn’t spew the vitriol of Lopez.

Surprised at how latte Jarrett is. I remembered her as darker. Maybe that was someone else.

Also surprised that 18 million viewers (out of 300 million population) constitutes one of the top rated shows. Just demonstrates how fragmented America’s media landscape is.

Remember when that SNL cast member referred to white people as bitches and crackers. Funny how they didn’t cancel SNL.

Sorry, I can’t copy/paste the pic.
This last year and half several skits have called Trump and whites “crackers.” No one’s been fired for it.

Aren’t hipsters, SJWs, and baristas (in debt for $100,000+ in college loans for undergrad degrees in STD Acquisition, Hangover Installation Tech 101, and Medieval Moldovan Architecture Gender Oppression Studies) already sensitive enough? They’ve had enough useless training already.

The reboot gives her a grandson who likes to wear dresses and makeup.

But no good work toward tolerance can ever outweigh the crime of making a joke at intersectionally un-privileged Valerie Jarret’s expense!

The right never cared much about Roseanne’s non-conforming views on gay rights. But the modern left forgives no thought crime, bad-thinking whites must be purged.

That’s a very bizarre story. My guess is there was a financial incentive involved. Some clause in the agreement with the Chinese company sponsoring these Chinese trainees that says they forfeit the $90k if the student fails out and this flight school then had a scheme to start failing students because of language skills. They expected these Chinese to be compliant.

I don’t need coffee – if I took drugs, I’d try something more fun.

Her dress was pale pink with a a skirt in 3 layers trimmed with ruffles, like something for a 6 year old. And not realizing she was on camera she had the typical testosterone overload bullying black woman scowl.

Never watched her show as I can’t stand talk shows and big fat ugly black women.
I’ve seen many pictures of her, including pictures when she was in her 20s. She has had a lot of plastic surgery.
In her 20s she had a short wide bulldog face with a wide square jaw. The surgeons have lengthened her face and tapered her jaw to give her a chin

Yet she made billions just being herself, a loudmouth arrogant obese black woman.

It was informative if not enjoyable to mainline Cathedral opinion tonight, a half-hour of NBC News followed by 30 minutes of CBS News. Both shows led with, of course, the astonishing, newsworthy, topical, earth-shattering, breaking news of the racistly racist tweet by deplorably racist Trump supporter Roseanne Barr.

The interesting part was that little time was devoted to the actual Twitter thoughtcrime, with both segments instead focused on the thundering, stampeding tsunami of outrage, anger, and fury on social media. Fortunately, both NBC and CBS reported, Barr’s co-stars were already practicing sauve qui peut, adding their denunciations of doubleplusungoodthink to the crescendoing chorus. On social media, of course.

I regret missing All Things Considered, which doubtless used moderate, intellectual tones of voice to urge the defenestration of the criminal of the century.

The lead Breitbart article on Roseanne has 50,000 comments, and there are 100,000+ over all the multiple articles.

This isn’t going to turn out well for the left.

For yet another example of an anti-white Twitter mob:

https://www.boredpanda.com/white-woman-called-cops-black-people-barbecuing-memes-oakland/

Will Fox pick up the show?

Roseanne’s show was likely cancelled because of the Soris and Chelsea tweet. Soros power is well documented and Hillary has most of Hollywood in her patronage pocket.

Hillary is the most formidable politician in decades. Just with elites not human beings :> .

No, it takes two to tantric.

Starbucks is unique as a mega corp in that it created new opportunities for higher-priced competitors. In Manhattan, for example, Starbucks was already the sketchy option compared to the indie places.

Baristas work for tips?

How were they compensated for lost tips?

I’m not good at predicting outcomes of controversies, and I don’t know how this will all play out, but you have to choose your battles. ABC pulled off a classic Trump trick. Just like defending M-13 members against being called animals, defending Roseanne against likening a black person to an ape is basically impossible to do without digging yourself into a hole.

Watching people trying to make an equivalency with Trump being called an orangutan is cringe-worthy. Even if they do find examples of people on the ABC roster saying something equivalent to the ape joke, pointing out double standards never works; that’s part of why hypocrisy drives people crazy.

No doubt many people quietly think that cancelling the show is an excessive punishment. But intelligent people know better than to make any statement that seems to support Roseanne. Especially those on the right, who are bracing for the next move, which will be “guilt by association” outrage towards conservatives and Trump supporters. And those who didn’t distance themselves from Roseanne’s tweet will be stuck in that hole and risk bringing everyone else down with them.

A shanda fur die goyim

It was George Soros who paid for the wedding. The hundred million they stole from Haitian hurricane relief wasn’t enough

Some soy boy named Nolte wrote an article on Cuckbart about how Roseanne deserved her firing.

Liberals don’t have parties any more. That’s because they are all working 90 hours a week at their oh so important jobs and environmental animal rights anti racism busybody volunteer activities they don’t have time to entertain.

Is Valerie Jarrett a black person? Say it ain’t so.

I assume Steve is asking for someone who was at this anti-bias session to tell us all what we missed. I can’t help, I don’t work there.

But I did check out Starbucks’ “preview” video.

news.starbucks.com/news/starbucks-curriculum-preview-for-may-29

It’s really cringeworthy. Come on, guys, instead of trying to use touchy-feely crap to force these unfortunate employees to “share” their feelings and experiences, just tell them, “follow these company guidelines on how to treat customers. If you don’t want to follow them, quit. Any questions on how you should handle a specific situation call this helpline. That’s all, go home.”

OT: The Theranos book, John Carreyrou’s Bad Blood is a fun read:

This happened most hilariously at Walgreens, whose own laboratory consultant, Kevin Hunter, was ignored for the dumbest possible reason:

After they hung up, Hunter took aside Renaat Van den Hoof, who was in charge of the pilot on the Walgreens side, and told him something just wasn’t right. The red flags were piling up. First, Elizabeth had denied him access to their lab. Then she’d rejected his proposal to embed them in Palo Alto. And now she was refusing to do a simple comparison study. To top it all off, Theranos had drawn the blood of the president of Walgreens’s pharmacy business, one of the company’s most senior executives, and failed to give him a test result!

Van den Hooff listened with a pained look on his face.

“We can’t not pursue this,” he said. “We can’t risk a scenario where CVS has a deal with them in six months and it ends up being real.”

Holmes’s technology was totally worthless; Walgreens had firsthand evidence of this; Theranos had the blood of one of their senior executives and refused to say anything about it; but CVS exists, and so Walgreens went on to spend $140 million with Theranos over seven years. They recouped less than $30 million of that in a lawsuit and settlement.

… from Dennis Young’s review at https://theconcourse.deadspin.com/heres-an-anecdote-that-perfectly-encapsulates-the-stupi-1826335015

This anon claims to be a barista who attended the mandatory training. He says they handed out ipads pre-loaded with sensitivity lectures. On the one hand that sounds expensive, brandwhorey, and needlessly complex, on the other hand, yeah, that’s probably what Howard Deutsch chose.

http://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/173391927

Honestly not that bad, they just gave us ipads with modules (short videos) of people saying racial bias is bad blah blah blah. It wasn’t too anti-white but it was just boring and stupid. We finished an hour early and we could have gotten out earlier if the tranny at the store didn’t waste 30 minutes of everyones time saying we should call people by genderneutral pronouns. Thankfully my manager is a bitch and cut the train off and almost made her cry. Some IE guys may leave flyers and business cards in some stores and be cheeky about it.

Portlandia. ‘Nuff said.

Opioids being abused? Wanna see my shocked face…

Oxy has been known as Hillbilly heroin for how long?

The point isn’t defending a bad joke. The point is all comedians who are actually funny will at times make bad or offensive jokes, but the left decided to kill her show, deprive a lot of people of a job, and 20 million Americans of a show they enjoyed watching. Over one retracted, deleted, and apologized-for joke.

If any WWC people in the midwest had doubts the Democrats hate them, this very visible episode in the anti-white culture war should clear that up.

This appeared on Reddit half an hour ago. Take anonymous accounts with a grain of salt, but they will be more truthful than the news. https://www.reddit.com/r/starbucks/comments/8n41l0/what/ Just the first paragraph:

The fuck was that? I mean, seriously. I was actually hoping this would be an informative and interesting training, but all it was was Starbucks covering their asses by equating cringey slogans and buzzwords with an actual effort to show customers that we hear and respect them and want to do everything in our power to make them feel safe and welcome. “Color brave.” I fucking can’t, guys…

Also this exchange https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/8n3rh0/employees_of_starbucks_how_was_the_antibias/

They told us that if we saw two customers come in at the same time one of them black and one of them white, we must serve the black person first.
Bullshit.
I am 100% serious. I was a bit afraid to object though (we all were). Try it yourself, you’ll see that I’m not pulling your leg. I wish I were joking.
I would of objected the shit out of it…
I’d rather keep my job. I am not going to get involved with all these retarded social issues.

Of course Black employees should be forced to attend. I was at a WalMart Express grocery store once and a Black woman was actually using the RACE CARD on the Black man store manager to try to convince him that not doing a price match to a store many miles away was RACIST!

“You are 100% correct considering working at Starbucks is the only way most of these people can get health insurance. I expect they’ll put up with a lot to keep from losing that benefit.”

Wither this obsession with medical care insurance? Most Starbucks employees are young and healthy, so how much of this sacred benefit do they really use?

I can’t even summon a mental image of a Boomer slinging frapachinos behind a Starbucks counter, though I’m sure they’re out there somewhere.

Another link https://www.reddit.com/r/starbucks/comments/8n3pxb/i_think_starbucks_is_woke/

I’m paraphrasing but
“White people get nervous talking to colored people because they’re afraid they’ll accidentally confirm that they’re racist”
umm…
I have a HUGE problem with the wording, because I distinctly remember the word “confirm”. In a corporate training video where every phrase is cherrypicked, I find it strange that they admit they think every white person is inherently racist.

Are we better than our enemies or just the same? If former, we have the moral legitimacy to win. We deserve to win.

Deserves got nothin’ to do with it

If latter, it’s all just about who wields power.

The time comes in the affairs of men when everything is about who wields power. When that day comes, you better have some.

Cuckbart is the new National Review.

I also read that Breitbart pulled their story on Tommy Robinson. They are not, as far as I know, under British jurisdiction, so they were under no legal compulsion to do so.

If Breitbart is the new National Review, is The Daily Caller the new Breitbart?

In the same way lost tips are compensated for in a homeless shelter?

The point isn’t defending a bad joke.

It’s not fair, but that’s what the so-called optics are.

Democrats have the upper hand culturally, including the censorious, punitive ones, who wield a lot of power. You have to be above reproach, because they will tear you down over scraps, and the joke in question is a feast.

The basic Kaiser HMO plan in California is about $200-250 a month for someone in their 20′s, and that is before subsidies that either the employer or employee get. It isn’t a gold plated plan but they are the state’s biggest insurer.

No kidding – and they want to export this behavior to the culture at large. Yet another example of progressive ideology destroying the trust necessary for a well-functioning society.

Wouldn’t this make AFFH a crime against humanity (and happiness) to displace the poor blacks from their ‘hoods to force them to go to live among whites?

We certainly don’t deserve Marcus Aurelius.

Look wang lung, this isn’t the Qing dynasty and there’s no such thing as a Mandate of Heaven.

We’re better than the enemy because we’re us and they’re them, period, full stop.

Our moral legitimacy comes from the same fact, we deserve to win because we’re us.

Yes, it really is all about who holds power. Hello? Deal with it

We are technically better than them in an ojective sense but that literally doesn’t matter at all.

Ps- I’m about 51% just giving you shit with the Asian cracks but I do have to point out that you aren’t really part of “us”. So it’s not surprising that you don’t get this and are taking the angle about muh principles and muh morals

No trouble evident at http://thezman.com/wordpress/

It’s true that the left scored some points (on Roseanne’s own goal) here, just as Trump scored some points on MS-13.

Did the left give in on MS-13? No, they doubled down, like always. Does Trump ever give in? (I mean rhetorically, not in terms of actions). No, never, even when he’s clearly in the wrong (e.g. Trump University) he doubles down.

Giving in is a poor tactic at the subconscious level.

To give in is to resemble a prisoner begging for mercy. Weak. Pathetic. A king, an alpha male, a leader of men never gives in no matter what he did to deserve it. Why? Because he never has to.

Giving in is also a poor tactic at the conscious level.

In any controversy, people fall into two groups, the offended and the non-offended.

Giving in maybe helps a tiny bit with the offended group (who mostly hate you anyway), but it hurts you much more with the non-offended, whose legs you just cut out from under them. “I guess it really is indefensible…”

Doubling down won’t make the offended any more so than they already are, and it will give the non-offended more confidence in their judgment you did nothing wrong.

Since everyone lives in their own echo chambers these days, doubling down allows the non-offended echo chamber to develop more effective parries and counterattacks, which can be reused next time there’s a similar controversy. Do it enough times and the boundaries of the Overton Window expand to include your once-verboten stance or statement.

It’s counterintuitive, and indeed poor strategy in our non-politics day-to-day lives for the vast bulk of us who are subjects, not kings, but in the realm of politics you should always double down and never give in.

To the extent you’re able, of course; publicly defending Roseanne could cost many of us our livelihoods, so in that case it’s best just to avoid the subject and nod along with the PC line if someone else brings it up.

OT: ABC cancels Roseanne after her Valerie Jarrett tweet:

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/roseanne-canceled-at-abc-racist-tweet-1115412

I enjoy a good troll as much as the next guy, but that tweet seemed a bit gratuitous and frankly stupid.

She is stupid. I have no opinion on the Tweet since I don’t know who Valerie Jarrett is.

1. Those by whom all their coffee is bought
Are now “equal” to those who buy nought.
2. Tables taken by mobs.
3. Less profits and jobs.
Fate’s brew is more bitter than thought!

Look wang lung

Go to back to mom’s basement, little boy. If ethnic slurs are all you got, you deserve to lose. For me, it’s about what’s going to make the country better for all Americans. For you, it’s apparently, “I’m such a loser. Where is my stuff?”

Ps- I’m about 51% just giving you shit with the Asian cracks

Don’t backpedal on being an asshole.

I do have to point out that you aren’t really part of “us”

I have zero interest in being a part of the mom’s basement pajama Nazi crowd.

I belong to a real community of people who are productive, educate their children in traditional Christian values, and love and give to their shared community. I don’t want to belong to a group of cretins who think ape jokes about black people are just so funny.

Could be an early senility trainwreck being played out on a national stage.

God I hope so!

Remember when that SNL cast member referred to white people as bitches and crackers. Funny how they didn’t cancel SNL.
i.magaimg.net/img/3e…

Sorry, I can’t copy/paste the pic.
This last year and half several skits have called Trump and whites “crackers.” No one’s been fired for it.

I was NOT suggesting that Roseanne Barr should be fired or that the show should be canceled. That’s also stupid.

My points were two fold. First, what she tweeted was in very poor taste. Second, defending this particular action on her part, because she is “with us,” is also not very bright – because then you own the slur.

The correct response in my view is to say simply, “What she said was in very poor taste. She should apologize to Ms. Jarrett and she apparently did. Perhaps this episode taught Ms. Barr a good lesson in civility and hopefully she will be more considerate in the future.” And upon hearing the news of the cancellation of the show, one could say, “That’s unfortunate. While what she said was crude and in poor taste, she acknowledged her mistake and publicly apologized for it. To take her livelihood away and deprive millions of Americans who identify with the blue collar characters of the TV show at this point appear excessive and vindictively punitive.” Followed by, “I hope all of you remember this now and demand similar action in the future when a celebrity on the other side of the political spectrum engages in such a behavior.”

God forbid a comedian make a joke in poor taste that could offend a black or Muslim. Purge her!

Straw man.

I’d say the same thing about a comedian who makes jokes about Jews being big-nosed, bloodsucking usurists.

C’mon. Seriously? Calling a black person an ape. Was that even supposed to be a joke?

NYT: All the news from the 1930s that’s fit to print!

LOL

Notice here the “criticism creep”: the usual SJW smearing of the South on race relations will now be applied to the rest of the country. Get ready to have ALL the “wrong” statues removed while re-education is ramped up. The boot is on its way.

Followed by, “I hope all of you remember this now and demand similar action in the future when a celebrity on the other side of the political spectrum engages in such a behavior.”

You have now backpedaled into repeating the statement of mine you took exception to!

I’ll support this when liberals get their shows canceled for gratuitous and stupid tweets.

It was a pretty lame ‘joke’ but your histrionics are redeeming it in the laffs department.

My summum bonum is for nobody to get fired over a tweet. But if those are the left’s rules I sure as fuck support holding them to them.

I agree. But it’s hard to hold them to the rules if we now defend Ms. Barr’s tweet.

The same as I’d prefer for there to be no terror bombing, but if we’re at war I sure as fuck support giving it to them ten times what we’re getting.

What does that mean? If a terrorist bombs and kills ten people, we are going to randomly kill 100 people who live near the terrorist? Is that seriously what you propose?

If it soothes your delicate psyche

You probably are unaware I took much delight in hunting down and killing terrorists for a few years. During those years I came up with all kinds of very devilish ways to put a hurt on our enemies overseas.

It’s very easy taking delight in battle and in putting a beating on one’s enemies. Winning the war and creating the conditions for a sustainable peace afterwards (so that the loser’s kid doesn’t come back to murder your kids later) – that’s very hard and takes some judicious, strategic thinking.

You have now backpedaled into repeating the statement of mine you took exception to!

Um. No. I never took exception to this: “I’ll support this when liberals get their shows canceled for gratuitous and stupid tweets.”

Go back and read my comment. I never said that canceling Ms. Barr’s show was justified. I simply stated that what she said was not politically correct, but simply stupid and in poor taste. I also implied that defending that “joke” was also not very bright (as it were, Barr herself apologized for it).

Dave French, have you been LARPing as an Asian American “my fellow Alt Right” plant?

Grandstanding much? Valerie jarret is more white than black. And the joke had nothing to do with her race. Roseanne didn’t even know she was black.

To me, the joke is that valerie Jaret’s facial expressions look like the old planet of the apes prosthetics or whatever they used at that time. And, she lived in the middle east, hence the isis reference.

You really are a pompous fool. Go hide in your monastery knowing that you are a morally superior. You’re not making this world a better place. And no, i dont live in my mom’s basement.

I agree. But it’s hard to hold them to the rules if we now defend Ms. Barr’s tweet.

Nope. To stick with military metaphors, which is the more effective method to ensure Slobo is prosecuted for his violations of International Law?

A) Strict adherence to International Law in military engagements with Slobo.
B) Winning military engagements with Slobo.

What does that mean? If a terrorist bombs and kills ten people, we are going to randomly kill 100 people who live near the terrorist? Is that seriously what you propose?

I meant “terror bombing” in the WWII-era sense of strategic bombardment of cities.

But, as it happens, something along those lines is the traditional method of suppressing terrorism. Like stereotypes, traditions tend to exist for a reason, as the Israelis, Arab strongmen, China, Russia etc. have independently (re-)discovered.

You probably are unaware I took much delight in hunting down and killing terrorists for a few years.

Thank you for your service.

Winning the war and creating the conditions for a sustainable peace afterwards (so that the loser’s kid doesn’t come back to murder your kids later) – that’s very hard and takes some judicious, strategic thinking.

If the ‘loser’ comes back for a second round then you didn’t win. Almost all wars in history end in victory for one side or a true stalemate. The “no-win” war where conventional victory is followed by protracted, semi- or unsucessful occupation is a modern Anglo-American phenomenon.

Victory isn’t rocket science except to left-liberals. You first win a total, overwhelming, unambiguous victory. Then you execute a bunch of the enemy leaders to show you mean business. After that, you tell the remaining enemy leaders to toe the party line on the non-negotiables, then give them otherwise-generous terms to keep running the conquered territory as they see fit. Works just as well in Japan as in the Philippines, as in Dixie, as in Scotland.

Yup, I am completely humorless. That’s why I wrote this: http://www.unz.com/isteve/the-ultimate-united-airline-post/

Roseanne didn’t even know she was black.

To me, the joke is that valerie Jaret’s facial expressions look like the old planet of the apes prosthetics or whatever they used at that time. And, she lived in the middle east, hence the isis reference.

Let me get this straight. Barr didn’t know that Jarrett was part black, but she knew Jarrett lived in the Middle East?

You’re not making this world a better place.

And defending apes jokes about a black person is?

Nope. To stick with military metaphors, which is the more effective method to ensure Slobo is prosecuted for his violations of International Law?

A) Strict adherence to International Law in military engagements with Slobo.
B) Winning military engagements with Slobo.

You seem not to be advocating “winning military engagements with Slobo,” but rather killing his family and relatives.

I meant “terror bombing” in the WWII-era sense of strategic bombardment of cities.

Firebombing Japanese cities was not what crippled its military industry and destroyed its capacity to resist American advances. USN submarines were what killed the Japanese military industry and deprived the “home islands” of resources Japan desperately needed. The value of “strategic bombing” was questionable. Moreover, times have changed since World War II, and the moral (and legal) calculations governing use of force have transformed dramatically. You or I may not like it, but that’s the reality.

Israelis

They don’t exactly have peace with Arabs today, do they?

Arab strongmen

You should ask Assad about what his daddy did to the city of Hama. And how that worked out in the long run.

If the ‘loser’ comes back for a second round then you didn’t win. Almost all wars in history end in victory for one side or a true stalemate. The “no-win” war where conventional victory is followed by protracted, semi- or unsucessful occupation is a modern Anglo-American phenomenon.

Unless you engage in a complete genocide, this has been known to happen quite frequently in history. And, no, this is not just “a modern Anglo-American phenomenon.” As an easy example that comes to mind due to a discussion I recently had, ask the Romans about the Samnites.

You first win a total, overwhelming, unambiguous victory.

Define that for me in, say, Iraq or Afghanistan.

Both the George W. Bush administration and the Purdue Pharma owners (((Sacklers))) fully knew what was going on. In the last two decades 200,000 people dead. It’s interesting that back in the day of the evil WASP elite one Sackler was denied college admission because Jew quota was already filled so he went to UK to study medicine. He was, unfortunately, let back in.

It’s long been received wisdom on the left that all whites and only whites are racist. This person is behind the times….

When your IQ is 80 and all you’ve heard your whole life is that everything bad that happens to you is because of racism, well…

who wield a lot of power. You have to be above reproach, because they will tear you down over scraps, and the joke in question is a feast

No. You have to be able to tear them down if they try to fuck with you, or be so powerful that they can’t tear you down. Because they will try to tear you down literally no matter what you do. Because they hate you.

They don’t recognize the concept of beyond reproach. They start from the assumption that every one of their enemies needs to be torn down solely because they are the enemy.

You can’t good behavior your way out of a who-whom fight.

(Note: this applies to public figures, for regular wage slaves good behavior is a decent strategy)

Game theory advises that muh principles is not a sound strategy.

Just apply the same standard to the hate whitey crap coming from the left.

No more freedom to say bad things about whitey and get away with it.

If you want to shut down hateful and vulgar speech, do it across the board!!

She is stupid. I have no opinion on the Tweet since I don’t know who Valerie Jarrett is.

Then you’re not really equipped to discuss politics in America. She was Obama’s Rasputin.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valerie_Jarrett

That sounds about right, Boom. That’s why the cancellation happened so fast: the network’s “finger” was already on the trigger, waiting for the opportunity—which was, sadly, inevitable.

There are 5 Starbucks within a 5-mile radius of my place. The most profitable is the one with the drive through. A new strip mall is being built a couple miles up Route 1 from a current location, and they’re moving the Starbucks to the new place for a drive-up window.

Drive ups are problematic in some places. My SWPLville town bans chains and drive ups.

Good observation, iffen, which warrants further development.

Twinks, you know that the rules of the dojo don’t apply in a dockside brawl.

Look, I’ll be okay with this when someday a company can choose to fire all of its gay or female employees because the management feels like it. Until then, this is all bullshit double standards. As far as the left is considered, I’m a Nazi rapist anyway because I don’t worship fags, so what I do care about their feelings? Seriously.

According to the ones at the Starbucks I frequent, customer use of the mobile app has cut into the baristas’ tips pretty dramatically.

You’ll never win if you play someone else’s game. The point of the game is to make you lose. The only winning strategy(besides passivism and internal subversion) is to refuse to play at all.

Nose rings have cut into the baristas’ tips dramatically.

Recently spent a week in greater Portland. Went to a small Puerto Rican restaurant, about 10 tables. Several very prominent signs in English “restrooms are for customers only”. ALSO visited a huge Mexican combo supermarket/eatery/take out place. Very clean/orderly with friendly staff. EIGHTY percent appeared to be speaking Spanish. I noticed the same type sign plus several”we reserve the right to provide service” notices.
I don’t know what Oregon State laws are or what local ordinances require, but in a state that fines a bakery out_of_business, I wonder if Hispanic enterprises get a pass.

Starbucks should have ignored the initial social media storm, which would have moved onto something else in a week or two. But CEO Schultz lives to virtue signal!

Yeah right. And I bet that you didn’t know that Carol Channing (coincidental riff off Channing Dungey??) was Huwhite, now did ya? Tell me it ain’t so.

https://www.biography.com/people/carol-channing-9542563

Boy you jus’ keep on noticin’ . You finna to git yo’ narrow white country ass locked up.

In addition, you’ll never win if you don’t play the long game, and choose your battles wisely. You may disagree with this strategy, but it is the reason that even some of the most confrontational public voices are sitting this one out.
