Another reason to not go to Starbucks:
LOL.
Starbucks: "No, you can't use our name."
Starbucks and the union organizing its workers sued each other Wednesday in a standoff sparked by a social media post over the Israel-Hamas war.
Starbucks sued Workers United in federal court in Iowa Wednesday, saying a pro-Palestinian social media post from a union account early in the Israel-Hamas war angered hundreds of customers and damaged its reputation.
Starbucks is suing for trademark infringement, demanding that Workers United stop using the name “Starbucks Workers United” for the group that is organizing the coffee company’s workers.
Starbucks also wants the group to stop using a circular green logo that resembles Starbucks’ logo.
Workers United responded with its own filing, asking a federal court in Pennsylvania to rule that it can continue to use Starbucks’ name and a similar logo.
Workers United also said Starbucks defamed the union by implying that it supports terrorism and violence.

That's an awesome lawsuit. It'll be fascinating to watch.

The workers are stupid for backing Palestine.
Starbucks are stupid for hiring those workers.
Their customers are stupid for supporting this bunch.

Putting on my Ax hat
I don't think that Starbucks can ask their opinion on the war as a requirement for hiring.
But to me, this is an obvious infringement of the logo of Starbucks.

I would think that would somehow be prohibited. Your private views should not be a criteria.
Now, if you start saying those private views after you are hired, either with or without company resources, than it can be a problem for you.

I wouldn't hire anyone that might support Joe Biden. That only makes good sense.

No, I should have said the wise employer wouldn't hire anyone that might support Joe Biden.

I think it would be an important question for any self respecting bourgeois in determining the qualifications of all proletarian slugs seeking meagre employment.

How do you NOT respond to a comment like that without this meme.
C'mon man.
He’s been busy keeping his finger on the pulse. Too busy to go looking for silly memes.
That’s how.
It's the same thing! The former necessarily means the latter.

Yep nothing without a meme is real in popular culture.

Good
I tried to grab this text, but since it is an image, of course I couldn't.
The lessons of history are clear: we must all do our part to take a clear stand in
the face of genocidal acts against the Jewish people or any group. There is no
"both sides" when it comes to the murder, rape, and kidnapping of innocentBut then I right-clicked (just habit) on the image of the letter in the twitter web page using the Brave browser.
Up popped the "Copy Text From Image" option. Nice.It only exists on the Brave browser, not Chrome or MS Edge.
