Op-Ed: Starbucks Execs Pull Out of Seattle to Exploit Regressive Tennessee
(www.theurbanist.org)
A community for news and discussion of Seattle, Washington and the surrounding area
Seattle conservatives are trying to say them leaving is because of liberal politics. Which I guess may be partly true. Fair wages, unionization, keeping corporate overreach checked, allowing competition.
So yeah, if Starbucks is against those, then bye Starbucks
Its the same exact goddamned thing as Boeing.
Another state will pay us more money and give us more tax breaks to build or be based there.
That's it.
Everything else is traitorous yapping noises.
And understand that 'state will pay us more money' means... with their taxes, or debt their taxes will have to pay one way or another.
That's what a 'business friendly environment' is.
It means the government rapes taxes out of the people and gives them to people and organizations that already have a stupendous amount of money.
FTA:
Its rape, mass societal financial rape, and we need to start using that terminology, or the rape will continue and get much, much worse.
I'm fine with the term just as I'm fine with killing rapists
