Starbucks, Micky D's , racial bias, homeless shelters and political correctness
The homeless are now flocking to Starbucks
without having to order a thing, while using their restrooms, toilet paper and soap, along with their electrical outlets to charge their smart phones and other electrical devices. It sounds like Starbucks are turning into Homeless shelters?
Their coffee is strong but their management is weak,” said Ron Raduechel, a 64-year-old retired supply chain executive from Waukesha, Wis., who said he would no longer go to Starbucks. This after the much publicized incident when two black men were arrested for sitting at a Philadelphia Starbucks without ordering anything .
The arrest of Rashon Nelson and Robinson on April 12 touched off a frenzy over racial profiling. They were led away in handcuffs and accused of trespassing after the manager called police, saying the men refused to buy anything or leave.
The men settled with the city for a symbolic $1 each and a promise from officials to set up a $200,000 US program for young entrepreneurs. The men also settled with an undisclosed out of court settlement with Starbucks not mentioned in most press releases.
May 29, 2018 was a day over 8,000 Starbucks coffee houses closed for racial bias training, at least that's what Starbucks is billing it as in all it's free publicity
on nearly every news station and newspaper in the country. Kauai's Kukui Grove Starbucks closed for training that day and was given front page news coverage the following day in The Garden Island news. Starbucks is doing the politically correct thing, however political correctness is not always what it appears. I believe they are taking advantage of free publicity.

Smart marketing Starbucks! They had to recoup the undisclosed out of court secret settlement not talked about in the news. Will closing for 3 hours and an undisclosed settlement pay off in return for all the free publicity? Starbucks is banking on it!
Political correctness has reached a disturbing place. The McDonald's I frequent let the homeless bring in their own food, use the electricity to
charge their cell phones, iPads, and computers and some homeless have the audacity to use splitter's on the electric outlets. There is one person that sits there all day long on his computer with a water cup refilling it with free soda. These are the people that mess up the rest rooms and use most of the toilet paper,soap and paper towels too---management is afraid to say anything.. This reminds me
of the 30 year old man whom would not leave his parents home even after his parents sued him and a judge ruled in the parents favor. I understand being down and out and needing help, however this is taking advantage and being abusive by the needy to the people who are trying to care...It's totally out of control!

Today's generation of millenniums feel entitled. They don't want to work, where I live the restaurants and hotels all have help wanted signs. Kids don't want to work summer jobs. Parents don't encourage them to work
either. Even summer lifeguard jobs which used to be a hot commodity have a lack of applicants according to an undisclosed source. Could this be a result of a society where parents where afraid to discipline their children and say no to their child's every demand?

4.0 and above.
That means that 1 out of every 6.5 Kapaa HS graduates this year is a valedictorian. One of those valedictorians has to be smarter than the other's? I do not believe in participation trophies when it comes to valedictorians, otherwise you just might have that 30 year old man who would not leave his parents home on your hands? Oh yea, go Starbucks and congratulations to the class of 2018!

A must see about the cancellation of Roseanne’
Sadly, Canceling ‘Roseanne’ Is About Trump. If Roseanne was not a Trump supporter would she had lost her job, watch!
https://www.facebook.com/whitehousebrief/videos/1655062067904266/UzpfSTEzNjEwODgwMjM6MTAyMTY4OTk4NTU1NTI5MjI/
Please Read!
From my friend, Ron Kalnitz's Facebook Timeline, best editorial I have read on Roseanne
I’m not defending Roseanne, she’s clearly a racist and mentally ill but the maker of Ambien tweeting out that racism is not a side effect of Ambien could be the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.
Read the side effects of Ambien:
“Dizziness, weakness, severe confusion, sleepwalking, euphoria, ataxia, loss of inhibitions, memory loss, depression, agitation, anxiety, severe aggressive behavior”
And that’s just the first paragraph, that’s where I stopped reading the company’s website, there’s an entire additional page of side effects.
Again I’m not defending Roseanne but dear mega pharmaceutical company and your mega billion dollar pill pushing operation, you’re all getting rich selling poison and when someone possibly, potentially acts out while on your medication you immediately cease the moment to politicize a horrible situation and it’s shameful.
"F" you Sanofi, Roseanne may be a racist and mentally ill but your company and your tweet exemplify why our country is as f'ed up as it is.

We need more ideas to eliminate the homeless problem in the richest country in the world !!!Government should have free educational program to train the homeless for employable occupation & mandate the homeless to do public service for tips while in training with out tax dollars.Politicians should share their salary with the homeless if nothing is done to educate the homeless .for the chronic homeless,tough love may be necessary if they refuse to do anything to improve their situation. emulate the Singapore laws on the homeless like sons or daughters to help their aging parents & not the government.

Hear hear! In Orange County, CA, they recently evacuated thousands of homeless who camped at a riverbed, gave them free 30-day motel stay with mandatory counseling & social services, some needed medical or mental care, a few found very low cost housing, or were placed with relatives. No work no eat. Very fair & compassionate.

That is awesome!
That many valedictorians from Kapa'a High? Our kids had high gpa's, but valedictorian was chosen on charity, work etc, Along w/GPA & that was Class of '96, '97 & '06!
I think it’s great that so many students had a 4.0 average, however valedictorian is a special honor I believe should not be shared with 41 others. You need to look deeper than their grades and make the choice out of the41 who is the best of best, that would include extracurricular work such as charity work etc.
You can thanks "Affirmative Action" for that..next they'll be doing their laundry in the sinks!
I guess my blog put the pressure on Starbucks chairman,Howard Schultz since he stepped down the day my blog was published, coincidence?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/business/wp/2018/06/04/howard-schultz-is-stepping-down-as-starbucks-chairman/?utm_term=.e717b67c1eae
I have seen many homeless do their laundry in the sinks of fast food restaurants... Now it's bound to get worse with an open invitation to not have to buy anything to use the restrooms and to just hangout.
Racism & homelessness are different issues with some overlap. The bias training was necessary because it's unlikely those 2 men would have been arrested if they had been white.
And I find Ambien to be a a drug that's very helpful for me, but my doctor makes sure he doesn't prescribe too much of it. I'm not supposed to take it every night.
I am a firm believer in pharmaceuticals when prescribed and used properly! One mans meat is another mans ( woman’s) poison...
That's exactly how our kid's school chose theirs, because it was a college prep school, many students had the grade point average requirement, in fact the highest GPA wasn't necessarily the student chosen! When only one parameter is looked at, it waters down the honor. Congrats to those smart kids though, as it shows your teachers are effective!
