Terrible, terrible news from Xinhua today: Starbucks is planning to raise the price of its drinks by nine cents.
This is unjust! I can’t afford to pay nine cents more for a four dollar cup of coffee! Eight cents, maybe, but not nine cents. I’m on a fixed income, after all.
If Starbucks won’t restrict the increase in the price of its drinks to eight cents per cup of premium venti, then I’ll have to take drastic measures… and make my coffee at home, for between 20 and 50 cents per cup. Don’t make me do it!

Not like…
Well, I was going to say “not like here in America,” but never mind…
