Posted by on Wed, Jan 28, 2009 at 3:37 PM

Starbucks closes 300 more stores. But don't worry, because the stimulus bill just passed, which means that Happy Days Are Here Again!

Just back from a extra dry cappuccino at said. Coffee ok but I really like Tony's a lot. Atmosphere, pretty darn good.

Stimulus will do nothing for a desensitized and scared public.

This is looking more and more cyclical as the days go by...

Macroeconomics fails again!

$500 for people that make less than 75k. That isn't going to do squat.

Without getting all into the stimulus package, anyone who wasn't a complete and total idiot could tell you that Starbucks have overbuilt.

Even if we had a roaring economy, they would have had to cut back on some stores.
