[...] Coffee makes people uptight. I said as much here last June, and since then more evidence has come in that Starbucks makes people grumpy. Even really nice people. [...]

P-Dawg, Thanks, boss.

Charmaine–good stuff. No Gallo wine (including E&J cooking brandy), either, unless you love Nancy Pelosi as much as they do.

Subsidies- Starbucks has to make a profit and pay a huge overhead. A student coffee shop could be either priced as a non-profit enterprise–ie, just pays for itself, or it could return all profits into the schools debt-forgiveness program that will enable law students to go work as prosecutors or in Fair Trade Coffee NGO’s.

Clam–I think that’s lawyers’ idea of an evening alone. A party is two bottles.

Hey P2, not sure if the trackback worked — sorry for the redundancy if so:

Real reasons to boycott Starbucks instead of high cost.

Strippers are for the MBA students.

I-bankers know how to party. Lawyers’ idea of a party is a bottle of Jim Bean.

If the answer to expensive student life is to subsidize student life, then i’m all for it.

Don’t know about Washington, but here in Virginia, at least at the state universities, a great chunk of the subsidies comes from us taxpayers. Admittedly more so for the in-state undergrads but I’m sure that we fund at least some portion of the post-grad programs also.

“If it’s such a problem, why doesn’t the University of Seattle just put in their own coffee shop that provides a nice study environment and subsidized mocha half-caf hazelnut Frappacinos?”

Wouldn’t the subsidies come from tuition, which is paid by the students?
