And of course, there's a big Somali population, many of whom are Muslims. Ede is being celebrated now. This is what Amazon is afraid of. They don’t want this spreading across the country and they know it’s going to. They’re worried about becoming Sawbucks right now. I mean- Howard Schultz is being deployed right now to basically try to get managers to work with Starbucks corporate and aid as foot soldiers on the ground at stamping down these efforts. Schultz is flying from Starbucks location to Starbucks location, trying to get this- dubious legal boundaries. [External media] The Washington Post is referring that Starbucks and Amazon union workers could be invited to the White House. That could be imminent. That would be great. It would be a big deal. This is Biden’s best instincts, even if he’s not pushing for the ProAct in the way that I would like.
