Brewers Vs. Cubs III There's absolutely, positively NO WAY the Brewers can win today. That would be a sweep which will NEVER happen. The Cubs are clearly a superior team at every position and probably going to win it all this year.

SBUX - Starbucks Corp. - Dividends not reinvested

Message #25349 from #Breeze at 7/30/2025 9:23:39 AM

SBUX Wave Count Update. Good earnings release today. Intermediate (3) is in play with a target of 198.95. Breeze

I read this AM that some SBUX stores are going on strike today.

Reuters email:

More than 1,000 Starbucks unionized baristas in over 40 US cities launched an indefinite strike, intensifying their push for a collective bargaining agreement over increasing pay and staffing levels at the coffee giant. Waylon Cunningham tells the Reuters World News podcast that the employees are using Starbucks' holiday kickoff - Red Cup Day - to underline their demands.

I had some great coffee (and hot chocolate) for free made from a machine while waiting outside on a shaded patio to eat at an upscale Korean restaurant 2 weeks ago... BMW and Lexus waiting rooms also make good coffee from machines. Machines.... $30/hr people also getting health care and having the nerve to ask for TIPS thinking making coffee is a high skill job rather than something that used to be done by teens learning job skills like showing up on time and serving customers before getting better jobs... easy answer.

Talk about gutting the golden goose...
