Has this country really gone this far off the deepend? Seriously? Is there no way back? do we have to blow it up and start again? I dont' get why for the life of me people would care that Starbucks vows to hire refugees.

Dont' get me wrong, I've never given starbucks any money. Their coffee sucks, their baked goods suck, and I'm not much of a coffee person anyway. I'd much rather support a local business when it comes to any kind fo restaurant, drink establishment, etc.

How many "neighbors and veterans" would take a slightly above minimum wage service industry job? Cause there are plenty out there as it is. Seems like the local McDonalds, Walmart, CUmberland Farms, etc. are always looking for jobs. Didn't realize working at Starbucks was some kind of glamour position. Hey you get 9 bucks an hour plus split tips. WOOP WOOP. L'in the D

Not quite like this. This is people offering people in America jobs and people getting upset about it. Seriously. That's what this is. Find me something like this that's happened in the past 4 years. Usually boycotts such as the Chik-fil-a boycott involve some kind of social movement.

It's sad that white people can't be tolerant of all races, religions, genders, etc. without being labeled as having white guilt. But then again, I'm sure you're a MRA who thinks that men are discriminated against and black people have it easier in life than white people.

The job is meaningless but when a Ceo comes out and says I'll hire 10,000 refugees, why does it matter if they are refugees or not? Thought you were against discrimination.

First Uber is a ****ty company that people shouldn't use. Second they weren't boycotting them because they were serving their customers, they were boycotting them because they deliberately cut their rates to undermine the taxi strike. This would be like Starbucks saying they were firing all their workforce and hiring only refugees.

I thought you were against radical Islam. Know a great way to stop Somali refugees from becoming radicalize? Assimilate them into our society with a job. Also how is it discrimination? Again, people have had opportunities to take this job. It would be like calling Walmart's pledge to hire however many Vets they wanted to hire as part of that PR/advert campaign discrimination.

No... they cut their rates because the demand was so astronomical (bc of no cabs) that the surge was out of control. They did it as a service to their customers to allow them to get home.

But... **** THEM

LMAO. They cut their rate because demand was so high? That's literally the exact opposite of supply and demand.

Hey the whole state is running low on gas, let's cut the price of it!

Wow... this is becoming a bit scary your lack of knowledge on supply and demand (see the other thread)... Let's recap more slowly:

1. Uber charges rates based on demand of their drivers

2. When demand is high, they surge price (supply and demand)

3. Demand was very high at JFK bc cab companies were boycotting

4. Surge pricing was so high that it was very difficult for people to pay the rates

5. Uber suspended the surge pricing in order to allow people to get home affordably

**** THEM
