Just so people are aware, Starbucks was caught buying from farms in Brazil multiple times that used slave labor. In Guatemala, along with Nestle, were caught buying from farm(s?) that used child labor.

EDIT: On top of this the company partnered with Conservation International to certify the farms met the company’s standards. The incident in Brazil saw CI trying to coverup the certification of that farm. Also CI is involved with arms dealing.

EDIT 2: Their retail products have the claim “100% Ethically Sourced”. That is a lie.

EDIT: I got the slogan wrong. It is “Committed to 100% Ethical Coffee Sourcing”.

Want a worse number? Back in 2019, the price of commodity was at less than a $1. Starbucks, at the time made up 3% of the world’s production. They decided to give $20m to their farmers. Did it help? Well based on available financial data at the time, $20m was approximately single afternoon’s profit for the company. A SINGLE FUCKING AFTERNOON! https://sprudge.com/starbucks-would-prefer-you-dont-think-too-hard-about-that-20m-relief-fund-151839.html

There are people who will argue about bird flu influencing the price. However, when it comes to the Trump Administration, they will only blame the previous administration. They won’t try to take any responsibility for failing to meet the expectations of lowering the price that they promised.

Despite the factual accuracy of when this began, it does not mean he can go unblamed.

You’d think Lancet retracting that famously fraudulent MMR study would have had a positive impact. Guess not.

But did one of their people give the literal Nazi salute?

Once again, the guy claiming to be on the side of Israel and the Jewish people, has a Nazi working for him. Irony? Not at all.

I’m not saying you’ll want it, just that it could stop these Tesla showrooms from existing.
