CTH: Went Woke, Going Broke – Starbucks Announces Advertising Pause.
After positioning their brand in 2015 as the leading indicator of woke credentialing; then reversing course in 2016 on the plan to force racial discussion with every purchase; Starbucks is now announcing a pause in all social media advertising because… well, they don’t want to contribute to hate-speech n’ stuff.

I hear they’re changing their name to Starcucks.
the effort to stop the spread of hate speech.”
Another anti-1A company.
hate speech is defined as the only speech that requires protection.
If speech you disagree with is silenced, it’s not long before the mob comes and disagrees with your speech.
When did it become a right to not be offended?
There was a time, not too long ago, when Starbucks didn’t advertise. They didn’t need to – everyone knew who they were and sales kept climbing. They should have left it that way.
Truck driver coffee is cheaper and better than Starschmucks and has more of a caffeine buzz. Does anyone know how good Black Rifle coffee is, my son and I are looking to buy some.
Get un-woke, go un-broke?
Starbucks may be run by SJW, but it is still capitalist, and therefore will be a target for the mob when riots break-out; just ask Target.
Geoff: Try Dutch Bro’s: Dutchbros.com
I’ll bet you that the communists have been threatening them with violent extortionary demands if they don’t comply and submit.
The communists are criminals of the very worst order.

Give Black Rifle coffee a try, I think you will like it….AND it is veteran owned/run.
My favorite is “Black Beards Delight“.
Kissed Starbucks goodbye when they went all SJW in 2015, have never looked back.

We have Dutch Bros. around here, I’ve never stopped there, maybe I’ll give it a try.
I wish they would stop contributing to the overpriced coffee market.
At home- Farmer Bros or Chock Full of Nuts. I’m no coffee snob.
Also, Stuck Farbucks.
“When did it become a right to not be offended?”
Mid 90’s during the Clinton administration.
These companies pulling their ads don’t fool me. They took such a hit on revenues from shut-downs and riots, they’re cutting costs.
Just shut up already!
Your most loyal customers, the ones who actually buy your stupid mugs and drink your coffee? (You know- ME?)
They don’t care about who you vote for or whatever. I just want to relax and drink my iced coffee. Starbucks has been something in my family for a long time. When my mom and dad wanted a break but couldn’t leave their 7 kids alone for too long they went to the Starbucks down the street and shared a coffee and conversation.
We have Starbucks ornaments from years past on our Christmas tree (2001, 2003, 2005, 2010).
One year when we couldn’t afford new gift wrap or bags? My mom used the Xmas themed starbucks bags for that and it was awesome.
Hek, I loved starbucks so much as a small child that I used to use my playskool kitchenette to make my mom and dad ‘mochas’ and bring them to their room for them.
I just hate how stupid and tainted it’s all becoming 😒
And I suppose since I’m a white girl, one who is straight and votes conservative- that my history of being such a loyal customer and consumer means nothing to them…
