The Colorado Independent: ‘What Would Jesus Buy?’ Takes Aim At Corporate Sin

  • tallport · 2 years ago
    Interesting Film.... Ok, I admit that I still go to Starbucks, but going more with local coffee shops.  Starbucks has generally had a good reputation as a progressive company until reports of union busting hit the news from New York and Chicago. Wal-wort on the other hand has always been an anti-labor, anti-employee company across the board.  Let's hope the buy-blue movement continues to pick up steam. If it does, it may help slow the tide of runaway corporate consumerism. It seems more people are slowly starting to think in the collective interest as opposed to only self-interst. That would of course be a progressive world view. I will try to see this film soon, thanks.

    Union-busting? If they're involved in union-busting, maybe I'd better start patronizing Starbucks.  At least then I'll know that they have their employees working to serve the customer, instead of spending all of their time on union activities.

    bad experience at the coffee house? "instead of spending all of their time on union activities"


    That's laying it on thick, isn't it?

    Go Ahead.... Unions by their nature work to serve their membership, which in turn serves the company. They are democratic organization. I am guessing you do not have clue what most union officials do anyway. You just know that labor defends itself and that is not something that you stand for, so patronize whoever you wish and I will do the same.

    UNION BUSTING? Hey tallport, maybe you should do your homework or at least, if nothing else, think, before you decide to post a comment on witch you obviously know absolutely nothing about. Or does being a greeter at wal-mart cut in on your reading time? Oh, wait, that is if you can read! Which, judging by your un-educated, and un-oriogional response, you can't! So get in your Prius, hit up by starbucks, get your double tall, low fat, no skim, mocha latte, java pumpkin spice pussie drink, stop by your work (Walmart) pick up a copy of one fish two fish, (next to the tampons you can use to dry your leaky unmoral selfish ass) then go home and educate yourself!! If ya need help it's A B C D E......
