Edit: Jesus Christ, people. If you buy a $150 Thinkpad made by slave labor instead of a $1,200 MacBook made by slave labor, you're still supporting a capitalist economy based on slave labor. We all do. We have no choice. The number of smug liberals in the comments saying "well I buy a cheap used laptop" or "well I buy coffee beans and make my own coffee" are completely missing the fucking point.

Don't tell yourself your consumption is moral. All of us make unethical choices every day because there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Accept your shame and guilt and let it drive you to do better.

Starbucks along with McDonald's has the most throat ripping base coffee of any chain in the UK.

If I have use a chain I'll go to Costa but I'd rather use a local trader.

McCafe coffee is actually pretty decent in Aus, if i had to get something fast food it’d be maccas anytime, but we have so many thousands of cafes that i never have to go more tgan a street or two for a good one.

Yeah the coffee and most of the food items at Mickey D's is garbo, but I'd fight a dude for a more ethical means of obtaining a big mac in less than 10 minutes.
