1. I'm sorry, but this is asinine

Starbucks is a company that is supposed to make money for its shareholders. It's not the UN or the Red Cross or a government. It is under no obligation whatsoever to give to any cause. The fact that it is contributing is laudable and hardly a cause for boycott. They've done more than 99.99% of companies worldwide. You think they should give more? You don't like how they do business? Sell your Starbucks stock. You don't have any Starbucks stock? Then please help yourself to a nice, hot, venti cup of STFD and STFU. You get no say in how they do business. How much has your company given?
