Second Law Of Thermodynamics Violated, Then ConfirmedStarbucks is closing 600 of its stores and cutting 7% of its work force.
As many as 12,000 full-time and part-time retail positions will be eliminated with the store closures all over America. Which, in turn, means that the Fed will have to give another $75 billion to Wall Street banks next week. Don't worry, baristas and baristos will figure out a good use for their biology and ethnobotany Masters degrees.

It would be nice to be rid of Starbuck infestations over here too.
Here comes the recession. People are cutting back on extras. The past 10 years has been financed through debt consumption. Now, even the credit card companies are having a hard time selling their debt in the secondary market.
banks are fu*ked (except for the state-protected BofA -- our national bank but in private hands).
vincent, the way things are going here, Starbucks may be moving its HQ right into your neighborhood
