Ex-Starbucks CEO Heckled at Book Event Over Possible Presidential Bid

IF that's what floats your boat... that's on you...

I prefer understanding Civics Principles and the Embrace of the Education that Civics Teaches, and knowing what is the nature and make up of political ideology, sociological elements that make up society, and the economic realities that impact, citizens, city, state and nation, and how our Constitution is designed to give us structure, process and policies and governance principles. Not ... who has money and who does not. I'm for "STATE, FEDERAL AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT CAMPAIGN FINANCING.
 
If you know anythign about the man you know he is a lifelong democrat, has supported Democrat policies and ideas, funded the campaigns of President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, and Washington Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, and others. He is openly critical of Trump and implemented Starbucks hiring plan to employ 10,000 refugees in response to Trumps stand against the countries Obama cited as unable r unwilling to participate in vetting processes. He is pro gun control, for increasing immigration, opposed the GOP Tax plans...


wait...do you REALLY not know ANYTHING about this man?

:lamo

I believe that as much as I believe you werent a Trump fan.

Against UHC, against UBI, against taxpayer-funded colleges, against whatever the **** he thinks "free jobs" represents, against taxes to pay for any of these things.

Yeah, not exactly a "leftist" darling. He's clearly aiming for some centrist position and is going to alienate people from both parties in doing so.

I wouldn't have recognized his name a week ago. I don't give a **** what you believe. I mean really. "Former CEO of Starbucks?" What, like that's a household name? I can't name any former CEOs of Target or Home Depot either.
 
Trump was beloved by the leftists in this country...right up until he ran as a republican. This guy is no different. Idiot leftists see him running as a threat to their hopes of defeating Trump and that immediately painted a target on him.

Who are these "leftists" that beloved Trump? He gave every Democrat in the country money. Just like he sucked up to them for favors when he made donations, they accepted them from him. Who ever thought he would make a good President?

At least Schultz isn't pretending to be something he isn't now, like Trump did, and does.

It isn't just "idiot leftists" who see his independent bid as a threat to the removal of Trump. I'm not a leftist, and I want Trump gone too. Do you remember when the "idiot righties" watched a man named Ross Perot beat our Republican President named George HW Bush? I do.
 
American does not need ANOTHER Billionaire telling the average American what they need and don't need !!!!

The first thing out of his mouth is trying to tell working poor, dire poor and the average lower middle class worker, what we need and don't need as to health care. We don't need to hear his "hard luck story" of where he came from, because many people still live in dire situations and do not have the accessibility he had, and some can't even fathom getting the accessibility he had.
Go to the Appalachia, the Mississippi Delta, or part of the dire poor sections of Texas, or Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, Kansas or in the Deeply Rural Regions of the Midwest, or the true level hard core inner city ghetto area and cry that song to the people there who do not have a network nor access to a network of any sort to gain uplift. Many don't even have schools that can help prepare them and direct them to pathway upwards.

He tells his story, from a child hood where he was born into a nation that still had "Jim Crow Ideals Spread Across the Nation, that did not concern itself with the broad variety of darker skin minority society and had no concerns for the dire poor destitute whites in society. Let alone there was such a challenge in the Era and still is today, where the minority element is still relevant when it comes to circular challenges, and these same circular challenges impact the 'dire poor whites" as well in the same areas I mentioned above of "Appalachia, the Mississippi Delta, or part of the dire poor sections of Texas, or Florida, or in the Deeply Rural Regions of the Midwest, or the true level hard core inner city ghetto ".

He has the audacity to stand against "Universal Health Care as in Medicare For All" and then to stand against "College Accessibility for All".... He's from an era gone past and has lived the wealthy life for far too much of his adult life, to try and tell people he can relate to them.

He should be thinking of 25 yrs for Now.... where a society's health and health care has to change to build and help make a more healthy society. He should be looking 50 yrs ahead when it comes to Education, as to the benefit of starting "now" to get our young people 'higher education accessibility" and if that means, 'GOING BACK TO" the system Ronald Reagan Screwed Up... Which was the State University System, and the Community College System, where the poor could get access to higher education without the cost burden being so prohibitive as it is today. He claims to hail Ronald Reagan as one of his Hero's... which states that he thinks the same as Ronald Reagan when it comes to education... which is to take away the means for the average working poor, dire poor and the working lower middle class from getting and gaining the benefits of higher education.

He's another bigoted minded type when it comes to understanding what the working poor, the dire poor and the working lower middle class truly needs. It takes 25 yrs to advance a generation... and that means if we start today... making higher education accessibility without burdening cost to our young today, not only will they move ahead they will invigorate our systems and advance it, and in the second 25 yrs... we will have a stable system where higher education is the standard norm for all Americans. Everything in society tells us, we need this advancements in having an educated population to meet with this future of the 21st Century, and beyond. By, the year 2150... if we have not reached the goal of a higher educated population, not only will learn from the damaged over the past 50 yrs were we became below 26th in the world on Education, by then we will be even lower... !!!

This man ideals on these two issue alone, tell us he needs to get out of the arena and go get him some "overpriced" Starbucks Coffee, that the Average American can't afford... and go away and play his billionaire delusions among his billionaire friends, and leave us and politics alone.
How many others are posting this same screed on other forums?
 
So my main problem with this Schultz bid is the dishonesty of the whole thing ALREADY. He clearly has no ideas. In fact his pitch is fairly Trumpian. Plus he is already hiring on guys like Steve Schmidt ex-McCain campaign manager. Schmidt was doing the talking heads rounds today saying that if they cannot garner enough support to make a viable run Schultz will bow out. Schmidt on his own will get Schultz 20 points. Any decent marketing guy can get somebody 20 points. So what if 20 points happens to be their line for staying in the race? Its all BS all the time lately.

Schultz has not even formally announced yet and he has front men talking about what would make him bow out????

If more people understood what is the meaning, point, fact and principles of the "Preamble to The Constitution" ... and why it is, and why is states what it states... They'd probably learn more of why and how the governance systems develop policy, programs and systems that work to serve the people and the nation. They'd know they don't get to discriminate as to who can participate, benefit, contribute and enjoy all that our system has designed in making America be the Great Nation that it is. If they ever do learn, they'd be a positive part of the ongoing of what great nations do and how it serves all its people and works in concern and consideration of our global system of nations.


Preamble to the U.S. Constitution

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

But... many can't get beyond their bias and their obsession to want to "deny" something to others, as if they lust for the aim to dictate and determine who gets what - of our governance system's functions and performance works that serve to create and promote and sustain within the nation all that serves the nation and the people.

Such types who can't learn and adopt willful ignorance as a base premise, are a dying breed, many born in an era where bias, bigotry, segregationist ignorance, racism and gender bias was pervasive. Their mentality dies out more and more every day... The old always passes away, to make room for the new... and the new is composed of a generation who is far more knowledgeable, more diverse and support more of equality in all things within life and living. They are more informed and become even more so everyday. They don't spin in the past led by confabulation about folklore fictions of the past. The new generation is not ignorant of International society, and they don't stomp around with some delusions that skin make them better than people of other nations, nor that money is the measure of their whole concept of existence.
The young certainly don't dream of some TV Fictions of Andy of Mayberry, or Leave it to Beaver, and Pettycoat Junction.... They are not hung up on John Wayne TV Melodrama and Fictions as if its the basis of society.
They are not running around talking about "their grandfathers old truck", or how people "dug ditches" and "chopped wood".... or sit on an old tractor plowing a field. They know ... new technology has trucks any way one wants it, they have machines that dig ditches and bore holes, and they have automatic wood choppers and chain saws, and when it comes to Tractors, they can program the GPS and sit back and enjoy the ride up and down the field.

They are not led by the "loudest and most belligerent bully stomper" when it comes to politics, they want to know what people support, what is their concern for humanity, and what is their regard for the environment and the lives of the young, the youthful and the aged. They are not sitting around expecting some World War II Era assembly line factory jobs to come back, they know digital and robotics is here, and they want to learn it, create it, and work in conjunction with it.

America has been held back long enough by the SERF's worshiping the wealthy and blind to the reality of change and trying to recreate some child hood yesterday fictions.

People now have access to information, and they read it, research it, investigate it and they don't take the word of a person just because they were wealthy, "fact checking" is now made easy in Society... Video Records the reality as it happens, and one can lie if they want about what they said, or what they did, but Video, Voice and Documentations has captured it and can replay it in an instance.

People can see bigotry, bias, racism, and willful ignorance quickly... and they have become better at learning the types who are prone to the long history of perpetuating such willful ignorance....

So, there is no hiding the truth... and it is many not just in Web Forum's, but in interactive conversation, and every form of communication, addressing and embracing truths that have long been smothered under bias, bigotry and generalized confabulated self delusions.

The Era of the Imperialist Madness is long past, we should have learned that from the fall of the British Empire, The Era of Vile Segregation and its slave and segregation madness was a destructive force that insulted the very Declaration of Independence this nation was founded upon.
