Flash ,tell me this why is Costco doing so good against Sams club and other low paying competitors...
To answer this question, I would have to assume that your post is accurate, that Costco is doing "so good" against Sams. And when a leftist makes a statement like that, it would have to be validated since most leftists will post horse::shit:: that isn't even true.

why do people go to Star Bucks and buy $7 dollar cups of coffee when McDonald's has coffee so cheap .
#1......stupidity. #2 the average Liberal likes to look sophisticated and really intelligent while sipping coffee and reading a book at Star Bucks, while they run up the tab on their credit/debit cards. It's a social status thing. As far as how Star Bucks is doing financially, I really don't care.

Why isn't Costco and Star Bucks out of business? Could it be that they know that if they pay the employees a little better it will stimulate the economy?
I have no idea what either of them pay their employees, and I really don't care either. But with the growth of the progressive/liberal movement, Star Bucks should be doing pretty good in the larger cities since they are loaded with leftist elites. (Yuppies)

If the Louisville Airport Starbucks is any indication of how the company is doing, they are killing it
Line out the door, every seat taken, 8 people with masters degrees in 17th century French poetry pouring me a cup of over priced coffee.

They cannot find labor. Most are paying north of $8 an hour (higher than minimum wage). Why are these jobs going unfulfilled?
The people who these low wage jobs were intended for really don't want to work. And when our govt. supports the dependency of that Govt. check, and even rewards the hosebags for having more children and not getting married, those jobs stay vacant because the low wage earners (uneducated) are better off just staying in "the system" instead of working.

And most of those fools can't afford to put furniture in their apartment or they are still living in their parents basements. But dang, they sure look awesome sipping that coffee with the other yuppies.

Starbucks is the nastiest coffee I think ive ever drank...Horrible.
I couldn't tell you what their coffee tastes like. I finished a cup of Star Bucks "pumpkin" flavor or something like that was offered to me, about a year ago.
Expensive coffee doesn't impress me any. What impresses me is when I see people who took that extra six dollars (that most people waste on Star Bucks coffee) and invested it instead, and that allows them to spend lots of time on Truckingboards chewing the fat. Now that's impressive, and Conservative.
:biglaugh:

Northern Flash isn't very knowledgeable about what makes a consumer based economy work..

Your buddy Northern Flash thinks people who over pay for coffee at Starbucks are "stupid"......but I'm sure he'd give you a pass though.....

which they hide in the foundation so they don't have to tax it as regular income
Nothing different than anyone else that is trying to shelter their money..... Why are you upset at just the Clintons for doing it?

So, as Hilly runs around demanding the "rich" pay their "fair share" she hides money
hypocrite
Oh... I get it....it makes her a hypocrite....well in a way it does......and so is Trump who "promises" to make America great...and bring jobs back, while continuing to off shore his own jobs.....but at least she is acknowledging that herself, and other wealthy people need to pay more....

15% across the board, end of story
Im not sure that would be great either...no loopholes...nice idea...I'd have to think about that more to further comment on it....

the right thing is not to take what I earn and give it to someone else because they think that would be "fair"
Bernie's line of thinking and mine just don't jive.

Sanders isn't taking what you earned and "giving it" to others...... He is talking about prioritizing how our tax dollars are being spent..... We already pay taxes.....we should use them to benefit society in general.....not just giving it away to the military/industrial complex for things we don't need....
The talking heads on t.v. and radio like you to think he's taking all your money and giving directly to "lazy freeloaders"......when actually he is proposing use of taxpayer money to benefit the taxpayers...

He said in the memorial service for the officers
"it is easier to get a Glock than a book or a computer"

I'll take you at your word on that since I didn't listen......but I would say it is probably almost as easy....it depends on the priorities of the person......if they want a glock...they will get one....same for a book or anything else...the issue is how does society get people to change their priorities...

Being political is one thing, but there is a time and a place, this was not it.
That's the biggest problem....everything is about politics rather than what's important for the best interests of society...

- "the police acted stupidly" that was the shot across the bow
all the information was not in, yet he condemned the police

Maybe...just maybe the police did act stupidly......but that was just a reference to those cops that were involved in that incident.....not a sweeping "attack" on all police..... Every profession has people that act stupidly....but that doesn't mean everyone in those professions are stupid...

the world is not a small place anymore, people can see what is going on over there

True.....whether you realize it or not, we are increasingly becoming globalized....

drowning of people in cages to the throwing of people off buildings. Barry chose to ignore this. He pulled out and left no residual force, a major mistake that he refuses to take responsibility for.

If Bush had not invaded Iraq in the first place there wouldn't be that problem.... That was the biggest mistake....one that keeps right on "giving" too..... Most Americans realize that and wanted us out......

As for guns being a problem, due to population white people own far more guns than black people, yet how often are you hearing about 35-50 people shot over the weekend in the suburbs?

Most gun owners aren't shooting people...but enough people are shooting people...yeah what about those everyday murders using guns as the weapon?.... I personally think the problem isn't going to stop...not by man...but in due course it will be corrected....

Yet the left blames the right and gets away with barring no responsibility and are able to pontificate how they "would have done things differently" despite the fact most of them voted for the authorization

Blame shifting between the "left" and the "right".... Yes the majority of both parties voted for war..... You see the game.... Yes both were responsible....but as long as the blame can be shifted neither of them have to face the responsibility of being held accountable..... Nice game they going isn't it.....

As to your second point I agree
One must have their own house in order and ours is not in order

Thank you.....and I also agree with you that our "house" is certainly not in order....

Then according to ISIS they are doing it wrong Sharia or nothing

And ISIS has credibility? I'd go out on a limb and say ISIS is wrong in doing what they do.....

$1.50 hot dog and Coke at both.........wait..if minimum wage goes up, $3 hot dog and cokes????!!!

3 dollars each or two for 5 dollars....isn't marketing great!...look at all the money that you can "save" on "deals" like that.....

We still have hotdogs for 12 peso's in LAST..... Bacon wrapped nonetheless!

sadly in an airport (especially Louisville) your options are Starbucks or Starbucks
basic coffee, no double mocha latte with boiled foam carmel extract


I bought Starbucks coffee once....worst ever..... Dunkin Donuts coffee is far better.....

I agree
Like Pilot coffee too

Sad but true.... At the international airport here in Guadalajara.....the "choices" travelers have when they arrive is Starbucks, Burger King....and a Krispy Cream.... Go figure...with all the fantastic restaurants there are here you'd think they would have real choices at the airport....lol
