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!

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.
