No fucking bailouts. If you didn't learn your lesson in 2008, too bad.

If you had a wealthy grandparent who doted on you and gave you money every time you asked, would you bother to look after your finances ?

I know that Starbucks is an easy shorthand for "evil corporation," but they're actually handling this pretty well. I know a young man who worked for them as a second job, and he's told me about some great programs and savings they're using to help out employees right now.

They had an "emergency fund" program for employees in place already. An employee with any real need to take time off could dip into that emergency fund for two weeks of pay. Now that they're forced to close some locations (no drive thrus, poor ability to curbside), they automatically handed that out to affected employees. And they have similar stuff going on.

So they're not the "we bought all our stocks back instead of saving the billions you gave us before" that you want to go after.

What does Starbucks have to do with this?
