I don’t know how it works at the New York Times, but my editors at The Guardian would never let me publish this if they knew that I was one of the elites who spent time with Epstein. And if I published it without telling them, I would be out of a job.

BREAKING: Police have been called on striking Starbucks baristas who were peacefully protesting, both in PA and NV.
It seems Starbucks would rather see their own workers arrested rather than listen to their concerns in good-faith.
Shame on Starbucks!

It may sound radical, but if one guy has so much wealth and power that he can use the large newspaper he owns to publicly threaten to ruin a service we all rely on, presumably as a bargaining tactic to get lower rates, we probably need to tax that guy until he can't do that anymore.
