Thank you. I also have heard that Marx’s work was paid for by the Rothschilds.

Speaking of poison, have you heard that feminist psychos discuss poisoning random men with something called Aqua Tofana? I am avoiding Starbucks these days.

Another comment on Starbucks. I saw a tv documentary here in Switzerland about Starbucks.. the kind of program that asks: what is in their coffee.. Now I see that a lot of people drink there, buy there. etc.. the last time I bought something was a few months ago.. Hot Chocolate and it cost me 8 Swiss francs.. that is, today, USD$9.00 roughly.

The show highlighted some of their tricks.. I'd have to watch it again to get it.. but... courtesy of Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Schultz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starbucks#Corporate_governance_and_identity

1. In 2012, Starbucks had annual Frappuccino sales of over US$2 billion;

2. In March 2022, Starbucks announced that Schultz would return as CEO in April 2022 in an interim role.[135] Later that September, Laxman Narasimhan was appointed to succeed him in April 2023, with Schultz remaining a member of the board of directors. Narasimhan assumed the position sooner than planned, in March 2023.[289] In August 2024, he was ousted and replaced with Brian Niccol, who became the chain's CEO on September 9 after leaving his position as Chipotle's CEO.[290] Niccol received a starting salary of $1.6 million a year and a $10 million starting bonus.[291]

What is my point and nothing to do with Janices article!!

Well people bang on about Capitalism and blaming Elon Musk or Apple or Microsoft and I do to but no where near like I used to.... but just the two points above.. we forget that there are people out there being paid mega bonuses and companies making coffee making huge profits BUT everyone points the finger at Musk or Apple etc...

These companies are owned by Shareholders and not individuals, now.. Apple was Steve Jobs.. and he was a genius - but not going there.... If someone comes up with an idea and builds there dream and becomes rich.. I say .. good on them if they have treated people correctly.. but some of these people walk in on a Bonus and deliver but people don't think badly of them.. only the big people like Elon or Steve..

I'm just saying...

I stop and hope anyone reading 'gets my point'... I will not go to Starbucks at all.. unless desperate and even then.. there are drinking fountains all over Switzerland.......

Thank you for posting these important thoughts! My immediate concern was not being poisoned in a place that is almost entirely staffed by leftist women. But I am glad you filled in more relevant details. Thanks again.

I had heard the name.

I try to avoid Starbucks mainly because I don't drink coffee and they are very expensive.
