    I have a friend who is an executive @Starbucks who just told me that executives are super pissed at @HowardSchultz right now. Saying he has politicized the company in a way that is damaging the brand. Particularly as he mainly mocks Democratic women. It's a problem.

        Has @HowardSchultz had even one complaint about a Democratic man? I've literally just heard him bitch and moan over and over again about @AOC & @KamalaHarris & @SenWarren. He even had to delete a tweet earlier today that linked to bigoted & sexist garbage. Stop now Howard.

        Boycotting only hurts those of us in the stores. Fewer customers = less labor = smaller paychecks

        I'm listening. What's the alternative? How do we make our voices heard? This is one of the issues with capitalism, particularly in the horribly unbalanced current state of things. If the working class revolts, they only injure each other.

        I agree. Definitely tell your local store manager that you’re upset with Howard’s grandstanding. They are asking us to push what we hear up the pipeline.

        I love the grassroots concept, I just don't know that it'll make a dent. I will do it, on your suggestion and to avoid boycotting in order to keep from harming employees. Perhaps employees could make some waves internally?

        If he loses customers and his stock prices drop, that will hurt him as bad as paying more taxes... But it hurts a lot of other Starbucks stock owners too.
