Right?? Private jet or no private jet, I would jump at the chance to just decree from on high that corporate HQ was now virtual. Like why make that much money and still enslave yourself to a commute?

This fuckin’ guy. He lives in Newport Beach and was made the CEO of Chipotle, which was headquartered in Denver. Since he didn’t want to move to Denver, he laid off almost the entire corporate office and moved it to Newport Beach.

He justified all this by having a consulting company come in and do a study about where the best restaurant talent is in the US. Surprise, surprise. The best place for a corporate office just happened to be right where this assclown lived.

I guess what I’m saying is two things:

  1. Fuck this clown.

  2. Starbuck corporate employees are about to be surprised to learn that apparently Newport Beach has the best coffee talent in the country.

It all makes sense now, why the headquarters is close to Boeing Field. Remember, patronize your local coffee shop, no matter how cheap this shit gets. I live in Seattle, btw.

Who goes to Starbucks for the coffee anyway? I goto places like Starbucks for over sugared blended ice drinks.

Yeah fuck Seattle. All they ever did was revolutionize the entire coffee industry 2 separate times, and foster talent for generations of musicians. I guess they’re also great at culinary experiences, art and culture, and maritime history. Oh and tech. They kind of dominated the tech industry for 40 years. But nothing else! Fuck that place! All hail Newport Beach!

Consultancy firms know where their bread is buttered. In cases like this one, they’re not much more than professional yes-men in suits.

Unfortunately a significant proportion of the population idolizes these parasites because they think they too could be billionaires if they just lick those boots hard enough.

As long as we keep pretending conservatism is a valid political ideology, things will only get worse

There’s nothing wrong with conserving. There’s everything wrong with whatever the fuck people who call themselves conservatives today are.

Nah when faced with crises there is something wrong with conserving the status quo. Never mind that modern conservatives are actually regressives who want to undo past progress.

You’re describing conservationists, not conservatives.

‘They see themselves as temporarily-embarrassed millionaires’ is a straw man, and it’s always been a straw man. No one has ever earnestly expressed this sentiment.

Unfortunately, people don’t usually tolerate my brand of intolerance towards people actively making the world shittier.

A quick drop and a sudden stop pretty effectively neutralizes any future plans billionaires can make.

Recently being swallowed by the ocean has been another method the Earth has been using to remove them as well.

This comment, in reference to anything but parasitic sociopaths who exploit others for their own benefit, would be very troubling.

But because this is targeted at a billionaire asswipe, I have to say I agree wholeheartedly.

We’re already past the tipping point. Don’t have any more children.

Maybe there’s a higher power who you will be judged by. Even if not, there is no need to be wasteful at the expense of other life.
