Mamdani Just Started a FIGHT with Starbucks and Then THIS HAPPENED ...

Picture this, 190 Starbucks locations all across New York City generating nearly a half a billion dollars in annual sales, employing 4,500 workers, and pumping nearly 50 million dollars in sales tax alone into the city's coffers. Now imagine their incoming socialist mayor telling New Yorkers to boycott every single one of those stores. He needs their tax dollars to pay for all the free goodies he promised to New Yorkers, but then he tells the city to boycott the very corporations his tax plan relies on for

funding. Sound insane? Well, it is. And you won't believe what Starbucks did in response. Hey gang it's me Dr. Steve, your patron professor here to help you make sense of the madness as the far left desperately tries to stop the unstoppable rise of a new conservative age that you're making

happen all over the world. So if you want a front row seat on how you continue to change the world in ways you never even imagined, make sure to smack that bell and subscribe button. You know, before we jump in here, I want to give a huge shout out to a good friend of this channel,

and that's the insider trading expert, Ross Givens. You know, it's so preposterously hypocritical for Mam Donnie to being going after Starbucks when his fellow Democrats like Nancy Pelosi are the real ones who are exploiting corporate loopholes. Just imagine what you could do if you had the same insider trading information that Pelosi has knowing exactly what stocks to buy, when to buy them, but guess what? You don't

have to imagine anymore. That's what Ross is here for. Thanks to a little known SEC database, we can see what and when corporate CEOs are buying up in real time. And then we get to piggyback on their trades to gain the same advantage for ourselves. Gang, that is why you have got to click on that link below

All right, let's dive right in here, gang. On November the 13th, New York City Mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani, the 34-year-old Democratic

Socialist set to take power January 1st, publicly called for a citywide Starbucks boycott as union workers launched what they were calling their Red Cup rebellion strike. Mamdani tweeted out, quote, while workers are on strike I will not be buying any Starbucks and I'm asking you to join us together we can send a powerful message no contract no coffee. So no contract no coffee. So what's going on here is that the Starbucks workers united which is a union that's

comprised of only about 4% of Starbucks stores, they launched the Red Cup Rebellion, which is a nationwide coordinated strike targeting approximately 65 unionized Starbucks locations across the United States on the company's busiest day of the year. At the heart of the strike are stalled contract negotiations. That's why no contract, no coffee. Workers are demanding the basics, higher wages, better benefits, better scheduling, improved health care, stronger job protections and the like.

And they're calling it the Red Cup Rebellion because Red Cup Day marks the official start of Starbucks holiday season and traditionally generates enormous sales spikes, usually the highest of the year. And so this is the day that these union members targeted deliberately to inflict the most amount of pain for Starbucks and its stockholders.

And Ma'am Donnie joined in in that effort. He joined in in wanting to maximize the economic loss for this corporation. Now what makes that particularly strange for Mamdani is he is relying inordinately on corporate taxes to fund all of his socialist giveaways, right? Free childcare for all children under the age of six, the elimination of all fares on New York City buses,

city-owned grocery stores and the like. So think about it. The man about to run America's largest cities, by the way, never run a business. He's never even, to my knowledge, even ever had a real job. But this guy just urged his constituents

to economically strangle a company that he needs to rely on to directly fund the very programs he campaigned on. But here's the math that nobody seems to be talking about. If Starbucks were to pull out of New York City, which they're already doing nationwide, the city would lose 70 to 80 million dollars annually in direct revenue. They would lose sales tax, payroll tax, property taxes, occupancy fees, all gone literally

overnight. And that's before the ripple effect hits. So when those 190 stores close, well, foot traffic dies. And with foot traffic dies, nearby businesses lose money. And with nearby businesses lose money, property values decline. Economic experts estimate the total damage would be upwards of a quarter of a billion

dollars. Now, you may know this, but Starbucks, the corporation, they ain't having their best moment right now. They've already closed over 600 stores nationwide. And in New York alone, more than 50 Starbucks locations are now gone. The company laid off 900 corporate employees on top of 1100 earlier cuts, and they're taking a billion dollar restructuring effort. And I don't think Mamdani quite realizes the tripwire he's stepping on here.

Remember, the mayor of New York is powerless to raise taxes. New York City, right? He's powerless. He cannot raise that. Mamdani knows he has to raise taxes significantly to pay for all the free stuff he's promised, but the New York State Constitution requires all tax hikes have to go through the state legislature in Albany.

And Governor Holkill has already said that she's very much against raising taxes any further on New Yorkers, especially those who can pick up and leave the state, as they've been doing now to the tune of hundreds of thousands ever since 2020.

And then to his south, we have President Trump threatening to cut off funds permanently from New York. He's already frozen almost $20 billion in New York City infrastructure projects like the Gateway Rail Tunnel project under the Hudson River and the Second Avenue subway expansion. So, Mamdani is really stuck between a rock and a hard place. And now he's only

further alienating himself from really the financial heartbeat of the city and that's corporations like Starbucks, who he needs to help finance his socialist vision. And to make matters even worse, at the very same time, the NYPD, the New York Police Department, they're shrinking at an alarming rate. You probably read about this, but they are literally hemorrhaging officers just ahead of Mamdani's

inauguration. So back in October, nearly 250 officers quit. That was a 35% increase of quittings from the previous year. Since January of 2024, the New York City Police Department has lost over 5,000 rank and file officers, an average of over 300 per month. And the bottom line is that morale is at an all-time low. Morale, they, everyone's concerned about the policies Ma'am Donnie wants to put in place.

I mean, bottom line, they just don't want to work for a guy who consistently vilifies law enforcement as the villain and criminals as the victims. But ironically in all of this, it appears that Starbucks is getting the last laugh here. Not only did Starbucks report that 99% of its stores remain open during the strike, but they're reporting that they had their best Red Cup day ever.

That it exceeded all sales expectations. I mean, seriously. I think Mamdani is like the greatest marketing gift ever. They're actually calling it the Mamdani effect, right? One Miami developer, real estate developer, reported over a hundred million dollars in signed contracts from nervous New Yorkers in just the past three months, doubling what

they got in their entirety of last year. And Starbucks is basically making the same power move here. Starbucks essentially told Mamdani and the unions, you know, your boycott didn't work. We had our best day ever. But there's also a very subtle underlying message there in what Starbucks just said. We're an international corporation.

We don't need New York City. New York City needs us. If the political and labor environment becomes too hostile, we'll simply reallocate capital to friendlier markets. It's that simple. With over 40,000 stores globally, Starbucks does not need New York. But New York, and most especially Mamdani, desperately need Starbucks, tax revenue, jobs, and economic activity.

So there you have it. It seems like we have yet another notch in this, another loss. Yes, that's what I wanted to say. Seems like we've got, we've notched yet another loss for this socialist sham.

There we go, I said it. Mamdani could double down and watch the city bleed or he could admit that the hand he's biting feeds his entire socialist dream. My bet, he doubles down. And New Yorkers are going to end up paying the price. One closed storefront at a time.
