I got love coffee. One of my favorite coffee places is this place called Upper Cup in Columbus, Ohio. I order beans from them, and I was able to talk to the owner. He didn’t seem like an anti-social, and when he told me he inspects the farms from time to time and sees who he imports from, so it’s ethically sourced, I believed him. Let’s just say he’s a lying bastard and I was fooled. His coffee is still better than Starbucks. I hated Starbucks before it was cool. I hated Tesla before it was cool and it wasn’t because there were a bunch of genocideers. It’s because they’re trash. They’re absolute trash. The issue is the herd mentality. Yet we are rugged individuals and very selfish as a culture. For some reason, this type of mentality ends up creating a herd which is contrary to what their own self-perception is. I think it’s just a collective self-hate that’s going on here and people too stupid to see. It’s a motherfucking paradox.
According to the article, independent grocery stores were only 1% more expensive than the chains when the act was being enforced.
