Starbucks FLEES Blue Cities: 400+ Stores CLOSED After Woke Policies BACKFIRE
from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds
Here we go again - Starbucks shutting down 400 stores nationwide, mostly in those wonderful progressive cities where safety apparently means dodging swords in the parking lot and stepping over needles in the bathroom. Corporate says it's about "economic realities" and "safety issues," but conveniently left out the part about unionized locations getting the axe. What a shocker!We're diving into the real reasons behind these closures: from Seattle's $26+ minimum wage crushing small businesses to Aurora Avenue's prostitute-and-pimp breakfast combo special. When your "physical environment" includes open-air drug markets and guillotines outside (yes, really), maybe it's time to pack up that overpriced latte machine. Meanwhile, when residents graffiti "COWARDLY" on closed stores, they're literally proving why these locations needed to shut down in the first place.Isn't it amazing how the same cities demanding businesses stay open are the ones making it impossible for them to operate? What did they expect when they prioritized virtue signaling over basic law and order?
