him and his family. i want you to take a listen to part of our interview. i grew up in brooklyn, in the projects which was subsidized housing. my parents were great, working-class people, but at the same time as we grew up i think realized that we were not the privileged few. we were on the other side of the tracks and i think what i what i felt as a kid and what and what stayed with me as i was trying to build starbucks is to ensure the fact that any insecurity or lack of respect that someone would feel as a result of where they came from should somehow be refined by how the company would treat its employees, and i just felt very strongly that we couldn t bring the company to where it needed to go if we did it on the backs of our people. thank you, mr. speaker.
