Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz complains about Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) “unfair” labeling of him as a billionaire: “I came from nothing … Yes, I have billions of dollars — I earned it. No one gave it to me. And I’ve shared it constantly with the people of Starbucks.”

@therecount there is no plausible reality in which someone is able to "earn" a billion dollars during their lifetime

@Gritty20202 @therecount In this context, "Earn" means to steal the proceeds earned by someone else's labor.

@Gritty20202 @therecount "shared it constantly".... as in, pay bare minimum to all the overworked, understaffed employees who are currently having another suicidal crisis in the storage room? one need only glance at r/starbucksbaristas to face what is not shared with you when you ask them "how are you"

@Gritty20202 @therecount It's kindve like politicians who are on a fixed salary, that they decide on how much that is, becoming millionaires... wonder how Bernie got all his money.....hypocrite
