Starbucks vs. Seattle: LATER, LOSERS! [With Corrected Audio]

The Mayor of Seattle, Washington has publicly stated that everyone in the city should boycott Seattle’s signature brand — STARBUCKS — until the company takes a knee to Seattle’s Progressive politics and allows unionization of its workers. Starbucks’ reaction? LATER, LOSERS! We are OUT OF HERE!

We’re going to need a bigger Nashville…

Retired from Boeing after 8 yrs w/Northrop followed by a cumulative 32 yrs w/merged NAA/Rockwell/BA. Spent a great deal of time travelling/visiting Seattle for numerous symposia, projects and testing. Late 80’s were fine, but it went downhill fast. Generally, Boeing folks were ‘cordial’, but I found the general public were often rude, intolerant of conservative/religious views, and a bit dim (lack of sunlight?). Strange, many folks do not use umbrellas during the incessant drizzle, saying ‘you get used to being damp and smelling like mold/mildew‘. Geez. [also, some of the worst strip joints on the planet] Over time, going downtown… Read more »

Scott told me that they had issues with this whole session but didn’t realize it until afterwards. Just chalk it up to the worst produced show on the internet.

It was just plain rude of Scott to make himself the star of the show by having the only clear audio track and the largest screen segment, Such a shameless exhibitionist. The very nerve of the man, what a cheeky little bugger!

The Seattle Seahawks just won the Super Bowl in dominant fashion. Their defense was insane. They’re so well coached it makes other teams seem out of their league. But you probably can’t name more than a couple of their players.
You’d think Seattle could take this as a metaphor for their governance. Get an administration that doesn’t act like the New York Jets and do things that make your players, the businesses of your city, want to win.

The reasons Bill elucidates are the same reasons I left CA for TX 5 years ago. I could see what was coming, and decided that I didn’t want to be there for it.
I keep waiting for the Californians I left behind to get it too, but they just don’t. I guess it Just Ain’t Bad Enough, yet.

Yet.
Give it time.
I, and once again, we get dual audio from Steve and Bill. Did somebody forget to silence a speaker?

The technical excellence we deserve, not the technical excellence we need.

Don’t overestimate the intelligence of those you left behind. Frogs in a slow boil will eventually die.

Yeah. I was wondering if I’d consumed too much coffee for the the day. Trippy!
