Does Starbucks Really Hate Christmas?
Starbucks recently unveiled their new holiday cup design and it has caused some controversy. Typically, Starbucks’ coffee cups in November and December are red with Christmas stuff like reindeer, skates, snowflakes etc. But this year they went with a more minimalistic design. This caused an outrage among a number of Christians who think there is a war on Christmas and that Starbucks wants to take Christ out of Christmas. So what they’ve done is when asked what their name is when they’re about to give their order is “Merry Christmas”. That way, they’re forcing Starbucks to say “Merry Christmas” and put it on their cups. So does Starbucks really hate Christmas? Well, they have a Christmas blend of coffee that you can buy, so that kind of makes the argument fall flat.
T-Mobile Takes A Step Back In Net Neutrality
We also talked about T-Mobile rolling out a new service where certain streaming services like Netflix and HBO Go are given priority and won’t go against your data cap. This, on the surface seems like a good idea for the customer. But what it actually does is stifle competition leaving T-Mobile’s competitors in the dust. Which is actually anti-capitalistic.
