@WallStreetApes There’s no defending a $9 cup of coffee because at best it can barely be described as simply a cup of coffee. It’s a treat or dessert if anything even though there is technically some coffee in it. Actual Starbucks coffee is still affordable. For now.

Starbucks CEO defends a cup of coffee costing $9 He says the customers needs to just not think about it as a $9 cup of coffee, you’re paying for the “experience” of getting a Starbucks coffee “In some cases a $9 experience does feel like you're splurging, and then what that means is we have to make it worthwhile.” He says Starbucks customers “want to have a special experience and regardless of what your income level is, in some cases, a $9 experience does feel like you're splurging — well, this is a really affordable premium experience” How out of touch could a person possibly be…

@Jeff_Eager Can anyone explain this grift? Who else is getting paid here?

Ya know, it is possible to just fire people who fail at their jobs while misusing public funds for fancy trips.

@eatinerni Sure but I also like pineapple as well. Don’t sue me.

Who likes jalapeños on their pizza? 🍕

@kevinvdahlgren As a Democrat I’m saying liberals have completely lost the plot.

Today, I was physically assaulted by a homeless nonprofit worker. I was having a genuinely positive day, spending time with people I know on the street and had just finished an interview. That’s when they rode up, immediately hostile, yelling that I was “exploiting” the

@schollsbeav @KOINNews Precisely. No bogus “study” needed.

@KOINNews Taxes, permitting, utilities, insurance

Analysis will identify issues impacting affordability for Multnomah County residents. Here's what to know: koin.com/local/multnoma…

“…leaders have approved a study…” More money wasted. You don’t need a study to tell us that the few young up comers there are will choose a place that is more affordable and has better schools. Multnomah County will likely not be that area because of the high cost of living which we’re all painfully well aware of unfortunately.

@sk1nn7wh0r33 “Dropped off my laundry…” what? Where do you drop it off?

Your whole weekend revolved around food. #edtwt #edtw #fatspo #obesespo

@alphafox That’s a lot of paper sweetheart.

This woman clearly doesn't know how to use toilet paper correctly:

The City of Portland's "Small Donor Elections" scam is costing the taxpayer millions to run elections every 2-4 years. Here's the ceiling for Each Candidate: Mayor $750,000 Auditor $50,000 City Councilor $300,000 In 2024, more than 100 people ran for City Council, including me:

🚨 Minnesota Democrats plan to SLASH AID to cities that don’t fly the Somali-like state flag. Meanwhile, Democrats in the state have done NOTHING to address the $18 billion in Somali fraud. Democrats want to fight flags and not fraud!

@WallStreetApes Private equity involvement always seems to detract from the product while there’s an increase in the price. Noticing this with a few plumbing and HVAC companies around town.

This is what $22 gets you at Panera Bread The sandwich looks worse than cafeteria food, the bread looks dry, the salad is filled maybe half way Since being bought by a private equity firm, Panera has seen a 60-70% increase in price on menu items The private equity firm JAB implemented cost-cutting measures like portion reductions, ingredient changes, staffing adjustments and of course, raising prices

@TinaKotek Could you please go back to work and do things that affect everyday Oregonians? Maybe address why businesses are leaving Oregon en masse.

We have to continue making progress on our carbon pollution reduction goals and support reliable, affordable clean energy. That’s why I took action to identify what we can do to reduce emissions, fight climate change, and deliver more affordable energy across Oregon.

@TinaKotek @ufcw555 First thought after reading this: “I wonder how much $$ they’re giving her?”

I’m honored to have the endorsement of @ufcw555. These workers show up for us every single day. I will never stop fighting for fair wages, safe workplaces, and an economy where the people who do the essential work can actually afford to live in the communities they serve.

🚨 BREAKING: Minnesota Judge Nancy Brasel just sentenced Somali Feed Our Future fraudster Zamzam Jama —who stole $5.6 million —to only six months in prison. This came just a day after she gave another Somali fraudster a one-year sentence. Impeach this woke judge? A. Yes B. No

Congratulations to Washington Gov Bob Ferguson and Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson on being named as Nashville's Realtors of the Year after successfully getting Starbucks to leave the Evergreen State

@CAgovernor Defer??? WAT??? How is this helping when a decade rolls by and there’s a mountain of unpaid property taxes for a time when the property didn’t exist and suddenly it comes due? This isn’t help. Shame on you.

Let’s be clear: LA fire survivors who lost their homes shouldn’t have to pay property taxes based on a value of a property that no longer exists. Today my office urged LA County to offer clarity and assurance for these impacted survivors so that they can continue to defer payments without penalty.

@MayorOfLA 10%? You’re boasting over 10%? Seems like rounding error which would occur in Q1 and new yearly budgets. I’m not even in the industry and it seems pretty lame to be boasting about.

Today, we’re seeing something we haven’t in years — film and television production is on the rise in Los Angeles. This progress follows the Film and TV Tax Credit Program I championed, along with steps we’ve taken to lower costs and make it easier to film in L.A.

@SenJeffMerkley Please Jeff go back to work and help develop a business climate in Oregon. Enough shenanigans at our expense.

The Supreme Court dealt a serious blow to one of the bedrock laws that protects our fundamental freedom to vote today—a freedom that Justice Kagan reminds us was hard won in her dissent.

@katieporterca Don’t forget about a stadium filling amount of fraud and corruption by Democrat leadership across the state Katie. You forgot to mention that. Building more houses doesn’t address that. 🤔

I’m a single mom of three teenagers who do not believe they’ll be able to afford a home in California. We have to build more and build faster so that our kids can afford to stay in California—and that’s why housing will be my number one priority as governor.

@GovTinaKotek Please stop droning on about our more than conspicuous “election system”. Get back to work. Attract some business downtown.

Oregon has spent more than a quarter century building an election system that puts voters first, and I won't let President Trump, the Supreme Court, or anyone else turn back that progress.
