My irony meter is spinning

 Starbucks is dropping its vax mandate.  I was originally going to say something about their wokeness, but they really do walk a good line and have taken heat for it–like when they told the progs to sod off and didn’t ban firearms in their stores.  They’re taking heat again, but as someone astutely pointed out, they need workers.  They aren’t going to get them by mandating a vax.

Carhartt, formerly an icon of hardworking folks everywhere, is keeping theirs with a nice little fuck-you to their workers.  This is too bad since I have a lot of Carhartt stuff.

I’ve called Carhartt to register my complaint and will not ever buy another Carhartt item.  And Starbucks hot chocolate isn’t bad, so maybe I’ll go get a cup.

  1. Carhartt beanies are the new 'pussy hats' for the Progs… sigh Don't think they will sell enough to make up for the sales losses on their coats/work clothes/overalls.

  3. Starbucks is dropping the vax mandate for the same reason most companies are backing off. The mandates protected them from lawsuits. Now that they are exposed to lawsuits they rescind the requirements. It's about money and loss risk…NOT about rights. Starbucks is UBER “woke”…. So much so that Presidents Day is NOT a holiday…but ground ape day Juneteenth is.
