Baristas Against Cruz

“If you are that slacker barista who wasted seven years in college studying completely useless things, now has loans and can’t get a job, Joe Biden just gave you 20 grand. Like, holy cow! 20 grand.” U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX)

This undrinkable sludge about President Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan manages to offend all Americans, but is particularly unfair to our legions of hard-working coffee purveyors. Just who do you think makes your mochaccino, Senator? I like to imagine The Distinguished Gentleman from Texas walking into his favorite coffee bar, and then seeing his “slacker” barista wearing one of these.
