Does Starbucks ignore vets while helping refugees?
Content: Critics of Starbucks appear unaware of Starbucks’ track record with veterans. Twitter user @education4liberals and others have questioned why Starbucks should help refugees at a time when 50,000 homeless veterans are on the streets. That number, however, is out of date. Data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development estimates that about 39,500 veterans are homeless on any given night -- still too big of a group. Many homeless vets suffer from mental illness and may not be able to hold a job, according to the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans. #GrabYourWallet 00:30
Starbucks isn’t the only company feeling this sort of pressure. Since Donald Trump’s election, Kellogg ( K) has faced a boycott from the president’s supporters after it pulled its ads from Breitbart News, an ultraconservative website that has served as a platform for the white nationalist alt-right movement. Trump supporters have also called on consumers to quit doing business with Macy’s ( M) because the retailer wouldn’t promise to bring back Mr. Trump’s clothing line; Amazon ( AMZN) because CEO Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post, which has been critical of Mr. Trump; and Oreos because the cookie-maker has moved production to Mexico.
