    "Starbucks� layoffs come as other big companies make similar moves.
    Southwest Airlines said last week it was eliminating 1,750 jobs, or
    15% of its corporate workforce, in the first major layoffs in the
    company�s 53-year history. And last month, tire maker Bridgestone
    Americas closed a plant in LaVergne, Tennessee, and laid off 700
    workers there.

    Starbucks hired Niccol last fall to turn around sluggish sales. He has
    said he wants to improve service times � especially during the morning
    rush � and reestablish stores as community gathering places."

    "Last fall".

    Who was President last fall?

    I will keep reminding you that you were warned the signs of a
    recession were all there in Biden's Presidency. Of course you'll deny
    it and blame Trump.
