Yesterday, Starbucks shut down many (8,000+) stores for an orgy of ritualistic self flagellation. Good luck with that! This is just the beginning.
Couldn’t happen to nicer people. Their self reinforcing army of scolding nitpickers had it coming! As for me, it’s a nice steaming cup of tasty schadenfreude. Cheerful and fulfilling, like watching the sun set over a pleasant mountain vista while your worst enemy gets pecked to death by ducks.
It was a long wait but it’s worth it. After years decades of bitching me out about every little thing, SJWs have turned on each other. This was always their fate. Their desperate feeding frenzy to punish everyone everywhere until a new Utopia magically appears has begun to collapse. It’s a delightful show. Starbucks’ will have a long slow slide of homeless bums lounging in their lobby until the business (or what’s to become of it) evolves into a wifi library and halfway house for losers attached to a defacto “drive through only” enterprise for the people who actually pay.
At home I brew a pot of coffee every morning. (I try to keep it down to one pot per day or I’ll stroke out.) It’s usually DeathWish or some other quality product. I buy the good shit because I like the taste. My stockpile of beans is stored in the freezer and ground in small batches as needed. On weekends I might indulge in stately woodstove based percolation and top it off with some 1792 Bourbon.
It’s always delicious. Follow those steps and your coffee will be delicious too.
You know what I didn’t mention in that description of delicious coffee? Racism.
Nor did I mention the following: sexism, income redistribution, my original sin as an employed male, or half assed theories about the environment that come from Muggles that don’t understand sciences like chemistry or math.
Anyone can follow my lead. It’s easy to brew a top notch pot of coffee without getting into a political circle jerk. It’s coffee, not religion. And for that matter I’m not convinced there’s a positive correlation between religion and great coffee either.
“Good coffee comes about by no other activity than endeavoring to make coffee that’s good.”
It’s best if one’s enemies are pecked to death by stupid ducks.
That, of course, may take awhile, as stupid ducks may become distracted or confused & adopt personae as entirely different species.
Also none of this involves Bowling Pin Chicken the freest and bravest duck ever.
I don’t know Star (over) Bucks is as bad (or maybe worse than you say, but I still think Black Buffalo is better than Death Wish. But better than anything else on the market.
” My stockpile of beans is stored in the freezer and ground in small batches as needed”… I have a t-shirt with “I like my women like my coffee” on the front and “Ground up and in the freezer” on the back…
