The Starbucks CEO can write-off the cost of his private jet on his taxes because it’s considered a business expense.
But Starbucks baristas can’t write off the clothing they have to buy to adhere to the Starbucks dress code.
This is what an anti-worker tax code looks like.
We're at a point where there are no cheap options to retreat to and no price points that guarantee quality. Every run-down studio is $1400, every fast food meal is $17, every luxury condo has peel-n-stick tiles, every $300 pair of boots falls apart. Endless expensive mediocrity.
Notice how the Flag is not at half staff when US service members have died, but it was immediately lowered for a podcaster.
I hate this timeline so much.
