The man yelling in the town hall looked as bright as anybody yelling in a town hall because they cannot think of an intelligent argument. I am for the public option partly because I do not have anything to lose and what I know of the public option I believe it can help a lot of part time employees who work two or three part time jobs because nobody wanted to pay health care so they only hired part time.
I do not know for sure but star bucks may be just as guilty as other low life chains that do not pay health care for there employees.
No I do not have any respect for those who say “It just good business” because they have no heart or feelings and do not deserve the city or town that put them in business.

What the heck is wrong with that? It is a new product (one that you never thought Starbucks would R&D),the scenarios are relatable & certainly timely & it's brief enough for the attention span of my gnat like brain.For what it is ,instant coffee,I will wager that it is the best of it's type .It seems that despite the highly irresponsible talking down of the Starbuck's brand by Suzie Orman (as a pre-requirement for immature spend aholics that cling to her bizarre advice to climb out of their well dug graves) the company is still kicking ... hard.It was Starbucks that enlightened the many about the origins,varieties & nuance ' of our favorite go to beverage.Maybe Ms.Orman has a lot of McDonald's stock?

...the angry people in town hall meetings are upset about something they should be happy about too.

Your company has made this year's Christmas shopping so much easier for our family. We will not be purchasing, as our usual custom for many years, Starbucks gift certificates.

of the town hall culture phenomenon right now, not embracing it as "mainstream". The people yelling at real town halls are not the target of the advertising.
