problems, which are global. so, by all means, you know, try you know, one of the best things you can do in the face of inflation is make sure that people at least have jobs. you know, it would be we would probably have most of this inflation, even if we hadn t had the jobs boom. yeah. the jobs boom, at least less bad. yeah. quick question. what s your go-to coffee order, professor? oh, gosh, i m a i m a black coffee drinker, and i actually i m a barbarian, my european friends tell me. i prefer filter coffee to espresso coffee. shoutout to drip. i do black coffee as well. that brings us to whether you re into latte, so many americans are. you look at starbucks. they re raising prices, citing higher costs. you mentioned how that is very real. meanwhile they ve got a ceo who s compensation went up 40%,
my take away is they welcome back christmas. they got rid of the political finger wagging interface. they stopped doing all of the politically correct stuff, making us love each other. i will give you an example, one of their coffee cups, they took away the whole theme of christmas. they brought it back last year along with some flavors. peppermint mocha, some of the gingerbread. but in this last christmas, the sales were the best ever in america. the best ever. they got rid of all of the corporate virtue signaling. wagging their fingers in our face. all of the patronizing. sandra: i don t know who drinks this stuff. eggnog peppermint? people like that stuff. i am a straight old school black coffee drinker, but i think there is a lesson here. sell us the coffee, sell us the ice cream, sell us the sneakers, sell us all the stuff, but don t preach to us. sandra: there was sort of an activist pushed for them.
