Doc Brown Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Starbucks had an increase in sales when Trump suggested they should boycott Starbucks because the red cups didn't have their usual holiday illustrations on it. Boycotts of fast food chains don't work because the opposite side will make up for whatever sales the chain lost from the other side. Plus, they're incredibly moronic. Starbucks coffee sucks by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Ugggh. This is the **** that gives progressives a bad name. Of course they are free to donate to candidates as they see fit. Having religious beliefs is not a crime, and if management wants to donate it's their earnings. What drives me up the wall is the damn stupid double standard of "can a company have a religion?" It apparently is, but somehow we don't get to force them to be circumcised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starbucks coffee sucks by the way. The holiday sale was considered a flop. In China sales were up a lot though (I doubt the Chinese people care about anything Trump says). Later sales earnings were up 13% because they raised prices in June, but stores traffic was down 2% (bagged coffee sales were up, however). That must have been some price increase for that high an earnings result vs lower store traffic. Very mixed results, but money-in-pocket is what every corporation cares about. And I agree, Starbucks coffee is awful. I do like their chai tea lattes though, but the one I buy every other year isn't going to keep 'em in business. I'm not sure boycotts succeed longterm. People forget they are supposed to boycott something based on ... something. They remember they are boycotting because they are personally pissed at a company for bad service/business practices, etc... but political reasons? I have my doubts. I'd suspect buycotts have better longterm results providing the new customer likes the new product/service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I never said "Christianity". What I said was that I thought that it was stupid that a company, a legal entity created to solely to make money, could have a religion. YOU decided somewhere in that farce you call a thought process that having a company be religious meant that it had to be Christian, and therefore circumcision would not be necessary.

Somehow In-and-out packages the right bun, tomato, cheese on the double-double, and it's anything but dried out. Same with Smashburger. You should give it a try. Helluva good burger. And their fries, to me, are quite possibly the best. The Habit makes a great double burger as well. Great char, but go with the onion rings there. They're the only ones who really nail onion rings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaDexter Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) We have 400 different answers as to where EVERYTHING went.... Jesus ran what was essentially a religious retirement home. You gave him everything. He gave you a Spartan "bed" and "shelter." He was your dictator and preacher. He got to spend all of your wealth. You got to hear him preach... 5000 followers is a decent sized town. Jesus had crops and animals.... and then something wiped all that out, almost assuredly either a flood or locust, what we call an "act of God." - pretty funny, the phony "Son of God" got exposed and nailed to a cross because of a real act of "God."

You are incredibly ill informed, to the point of writing your own idiotic history, in direct opposition to the record. His disciples didn't "bolt." And there weren't 5000. That is the number of people fed, having followed he and his group because of healing. There were 12, all but one died horrific deaths as the result of their faith. Judas committed suicide. Nowhere is it claimed that Jesus derived anything from these people, other than faith. Your historical inventions are about as impressive as your ignorance regarding 9/11.
