Dem Rep. Pramila Jayapal is furious at the ‘corporate greed’ of Starbucks, who has to raise prices because of policies she supports

Headline: Starbucks will raise prices again, citing higher costs

Dek: The company’s profit soared 31 percent, to $816 million, in the last three months of 2021.https://t.co/HYOMdzqbTS

And Jayapal is absolutely disgusted:

Despite soaring profits, Starbucks is raising prices AGAIN.

We can’t accept this level of corporate greed as the status quo. Tax the rich and make sure every single worker in America can join a union. https://t.co/9GABXwlmTR

All we can say is that we sure as hell didn’t vote for her.

Yes. RT @Neoavatara: Are you actually this stupid… Or this dishonest? https://t.co/V9sXnyDelv

Pramila Jayapal may very well be stupid. She may believe that her followers are stupid, in which case she’s dishonest.

We’d like to think she’s a combination, because it would explain a lot.

is this even a real person at this point? https://t.co/XznvRqif7v

She’s like a Unicorn Frappuccino. Sounds made up, but actually does exist for some reason.

Starbucks minimum wage is $15/hr, they offer health insurance and retirement benefits, plus paid time off and parental leave. Practically EVERYTHING the progressives ask companies to provide – now margins are getting thin so they have to raise prices. What else did you expect? https://t.co/yJ2sb88ECv

For what it’s worth, when it comes to Pramila Jayapal’s progressivism, we always know what to expect.

She’s such a silly person.

The smarter thing to do here would be to tell people to make their coffee at home. https://t.co/NWEnoijbne

You choose where you get your coffee you shouldn’t complain about the price. https://t.co/zK1cQu3eXb

Or or or, get your f***ing coffee somewhere else, Pramila.

Or are you too privileged for Dunkin? https://t.co/Z9YdEOKFfT

Nobody forces anyone to buy coffee at Starbucks.
Don't like it, don't go there.
It's easy, really.
You have no business butting in here, lady. https://t.co/Avbg4Wbesb

— George Wept (@GeorgeWept) February 3, 2022

Or you could just not buy Starbucks if you don't like their prices? https://t.co/O1BQsjq2HY

Seriously … it’s not like she wouldn’t find something else to complain about in like three minutes.

Beyond parody. https://t.co/i9WD6gRUdt

It’s just an absolutely hilarious tweet, in that it shows the things that the Democratic party says it cares about — unions, taxes — being filtered through what it actually cares about, which is the price of coffee at Starbucks.

— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) February 3, 2022

And that’s before we get to the idea that increasing taxes and the cost of labor will reduce the price of coffee. It’s a masterpiece.

“What we need,” the representative said, taking off her glasses, “is more socialism.” https://t.co/9FUGUbAQnE

— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) February 3, 2022

For a full circle, we need Jen Psaki to start complaining about the price of Margaritas, before explaining that the way to fix it is to pass Build Back Better.

— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) February 3, 2022

And Jen has to be kickboxing the whole time.

Lord God our leaders are some of the dumbest, most economically illiterate people in the country. https://t.co/NF81qRyYtq
