That's better. Appreciate you willing to work with us. Thank you.

I'm not going to play the "seems like" game. If Zaryia was citing different sources as a means of reinforcing his argument then that would be acceptable.

The initial links did contribute to the discussion and lended Zaryia credibility as to where he derived his opinion. The second, third and fourth post of the very same links did not.

I am actually a fan of citing sources and I don't think people do it enough.

He doesn't have to pm a mod. He was considerate in his request. Spamming links over and over is against the CoC.

I understand you are passionate about the subject but in spamming you are doing a disservice to your argument and stance. Please refrain from continued spamming of the links.

Echoing the sentiments above - Pachter is widely known as a joke to the industry. His worth is in generating buzz through his atrocious predictions. I am not sure if he does actual "analyst" work anymore.

If Starbucks really wanted to emphasize fairness in their stores they would close for additional training this time around. In not closing they are cheapening the message from their previous shutdown.

It's clear that their previous training was not as impactful as it should have been. Do they really care about improving their workforce and creating a safe and fair business or was the last shutdown just an empty gesture?

This only goes to show ONE Americans trust in police. Unless the majority of customers in that Starbucks equally voiced discomfort in police being there. I would feel comfortable in saying more Americans trust in law enforcement than those that do not without doing any research. Law Enforcement isn't the malicious evil monster that media portrays them as.

The cops were already paying customers. Business had already been conducted. No company in their right mind would conduct a transaction and then ask the customer to excuse themself from the premises.

Fantastic thread. You even cited your one resource. Thank you.

Not surprised. This is just the newest trend. Im surprised we went from: cards, latest action figures, latest gaming system, sneakers, jackets,tamagotchis, etc. to something that isn't even physical.

No discussion value.

Yes. Everytime someone personally stops doing something it becomes outclassed for the world. Dems the rules.

This thread is wonderful. Honestly, I thought it was going to be the same ol' cutscene complaint thread that pops up every 3 or so months and it very much is but there may be some gems here.
