Capitalism is good to a point. After that, it's rampant exploitation.

One of two unionizing Starbucks in the Cleveland area is just down the road from where I work. I've never cared for their coffee much, but I seem to recall they make a decent chai latte. I'll have to stop in and grab one at some point, just to cheer them on.

Capitalism never reflects well on capitalism. It is an inherently flawed system.

it's not just the executive pay, it's the stock buybacks, acquisitions of competitors, etc. etc. the people who actually make them their money always come last.

if you have difficulty hearing or hear ringing in your ears please immediately discontinue listening to the white noise sounds and consult an audiologist or your physician.

relaxing white noise is the number one destination on youtube for white noise and nature sounds to help you sleep study.

a white noise sound like jungle rain effectively blocks out distracting noises.

it's time to block that all out and study better with white noise. Lesten here

You can hate the corporation, despise their coffee, but don't take it out on the workers. Always tip at least a dollar.
