Or crawl, begging white men to save them from starvation.
Further, if I want to drop $10 on marginally decent coffee, I'll go to the airport. When I want to buy coffee instead of brew it (yes, it is possible to brew coffee at home), I go to a locally owned shop.
With conservatives, it has never been about free markets or free anything...
It is about controlling the 'other', women, POC, and immigrants in order to eliminate all competition because they are sorely lacking in any skills that will enable them to compete & win on their own.
Even his backtracking is ridiculous.
The only time I’ve seen lines at Starbucks is in the morning, when everyone wants coffee. The lines always move. Yeah, it costs more, but EVERYTHING costs more.
Is he saying a white males place is on the barista line? I suspect this has more to do with the free college education Starbucks offers their employees.
Appreciate you saying this. Just a tiny point: please consider using “women, and men of color”; or “men of color and women”. Excluding WOC in “women” conveys a whole other message (as pointed out by Black women writers). Thank you!
A woman’s place is in the home breeding and waiting on the king of the castle like a slave. Women should know their place and how dare they have rights. Women are there to be exploited by the ruling elite #metoo
I feel like the right wing has lost their collective minds and are trying to outdo one another in how far right they can go and how quickly they can get there.
They don't want women and POC in the lower paid jobs; they want POC erased from existence and women out of the workforce entirely. The actual complaint is "the workforce should be 100% white men".
I love what you’ve said, I agree 100% and am surprised it’s not obvious to everyone.
This is nitpicky and it is a common phrase, but I believe language matters—can we use a phrase other than “back in their palace”? No ones “place” is in the shadow of oppression. 💜
They seem to be scared of women and love men doing everything. I mean all they think about is men. Men working, men this that. So weird, obsessed over men and penis.
But, aren't women and POC considered to only be good as servants to these guys? Or is it indentured servitude and not paid service we are only good for? Just want to get it straight before applying for a job, if I can, anyway.
Ikr how is it the govt concern how long the lines are? And is he saying women and minorities work slower so lines are longer? What?? Is that the only reason you can come up with for long lines? If I worked at Starbucks I’d accidentally spill one of those pink drinks on his expensive shoes.
It's gone from cult to true mania, like Salem Witch Trials hysteria, right? US has 4% unemployment rate now, WITH >half women, plus black/brown/gay/undocumented/disabled and every subsequent "other" Nazi hate always reaches, like Lutheran Rev Niemöller. How can he not see >85% all biz would shutter?
A) The quiet part isn’t quiet. He flat out says a more diverse workforce means a less qualified workforce.
B) let’s see the evidence that Starbucks is slower and more expensive & how that’s related to the workforce. Bet he got stuck in line in his car.
C) It’s COFFEE!
I was never crazy about Starbucks coffee, but for some reason, I am now craving it. Maybe this is why they are really suing Starbucks - not enough republican donations from them apparently
The only principles the Republicans have are hatred, xenophobia, transphobia, homophobia and an unlikable thirst for hypocrisy, greed, and a lust for power! They have empty slogans like better dead than red, family values, the moral majority and make America great again… but do the opposite!
You forgot the entire LGBTQ community, some who work at Starbucks for good gender affirming care coverage they otherwise can't get from local small businesses. When HR is in a more progressive state, rural queers get perks they would otherwise not have. Please consider including us.
Exactly the party of “small government“ seems to have a lot to say about what businesses and people are doing these days. I agree it’s a way to pad their pockets and remain in power. Mediocre white men everywhere are just scared to death that they’ll lose their entitlements. Keep up the good work!
Well said. And, his walk-back was barely less disgusting than the first statement. As if women and POC are just slower than white men. Do Republican women consider themselves less capable than the men in their lives?
If you've been told all your life from early childhood on up that men are just naturally smarter and faster and stronger and more capable that you, a mere-smear li'l gurl who's fairly useless except for housework and babies, yes, you'll probably believe it.
I just have to question how many "white men" they think are in hiding for these jobs if they are already going to replace all of the government with the "white men".
I'm always grimly amused that those stupid gits think having a low melanin count and external genitalia means a DAMNED thing when it comes to intelligence and capability.
Of the 2 blazing stars in our dept, one was a Black guy and the other was a Caucasian female.
Hey I’m from Arkansas I’m having a hard time getting my footing with grassroots organizing but I have a lot to say. Can I by chance get in touch with you can you answer a few questions? My email is [email protected] thank you
I think he may have the causation wrong, too. How does he know white men just aren’t applying to jobs at Starbucks? They do collect information on this on applications, so I expect that it will come out that the reason white men aren’t working at Sbux is because they’re not applying for those jobs.
He was actually asked this by Democrat Betsy Fogle. He said he hadn’t actually heard of anyone trying to get a job and being refused because they were white and male.
This is what’s frustrating about Republicans. They don’t think critically and they assume other people don’t, either. So they say stuff just to rile up the base.
Furthermore, the labor participation rates tend to be higher for men than for women. It stands to reason that there are simply more women available to work at a Starbucks, as it’s more likely that a similarly situated man already had a job.
Why doesn't the govenor just say he'd rather have men in lower paying jobs. Cause that's what is happening to women and people of color. I wonder if the men would be on board with that...
I’m not a fan of her music but what’s wrong with Taylor Swift? She’s a smart capitalist doing capitalism the right way, with real philanthropy - why is she the piñata for these men?
(Satire) After a long and expensive study, it has been determined that the rise in females and minorities in the workplace is directly related to the amount of females and minorities in the available labor pool.
This is a ridiculous abuse of power for the Missouri AG. Starbucks is a private company. They follow state and fed EEO statutes. If you don't like lines or the service go someplace else. You are not forced to buy coffee at Starbucks. How is this an issue for the state to get involved in?
There aren't enough white men to fill all these jobs anyhow, you have to wonder if any of these dudes have the capacity to think outside their little white boxes.
Baristas rank where in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles, if that's still around? Who cares who changes the oil in your car? Who cares who works the drive-through or counter? Those w/ too much free time on their hands.
Guys with too much time on their hand and a burning grievance against the world because they're WHITE MALES but they're not getting the deference they think is their due.
yep, this is how they start trying to push women and POC out of the workforce. They're going to pressure more and more companies to stop hiring anyone who isn't a white male.
I would offer that women and people of color ask get an equal seat along with everyone else.
That’s their rightful place.
It’s the people that don’t know how to share and trust that it will be ok are afraid that it won’t, because all they know is keeping others they deem unfit down.
As if white men would become baristas to serve rich men who would lord their riches over the white man having to stoop so low as to take a barista's job.

My Starbucks has men ! It's BS. Republicans don't want women to have rights to work in a Trump economy they can all starve.
Further, if I want to drop $10 on marginally decent coffee, I'll go to the airport. When I want to buy coffee instead of brew it (yes, it is possible to brew coffee at home), I go to a locally owned shop.
Never mind the death toll.

Anyone who says otherwise is just cynical.
do the will and implement the PRIORITIES of the people of Missouri.
WHICH IS THEIR JOB.
That's WHY THEY WERE HIRED via the electoral process. Obviously they have NO IDEA WHAT THE HELL THEIR JOB IS..nor do they care to know

Republicans are bigots.
Republicans hate Americans.
So, yes, they probably do believe it.
Of the 2 blazing stars in our dept, one was a Black guy and the other was a Caucasian female.
It’s also frustrating that people fall for it.
One vote per “household”.
Also, successful women intimidate the patriarchy.
Never mind the fact that a lot of men aren't applying for jobs as baristas because they think it's demeaning. It's the thought that counts.
"They Burned WOMEN"!!
And themselves.
Only THEY get to regulate things they dont like. Cos many people are saying the things are bad.
You are greatly appreciated.
That’s their rightful place.
It’s the people that don’t know how to share and trust that it will be ok are afraid that it won’t, because all they know is keeping others they deem unfit down.
No win wins
