Starbucks Positivity

Two black men arrested for sitting at a Philadelphia Starbucks without ordering anything settled with the city Wednesday for a symbolic $1 each and a promise from officials to set up a $200,000 US program for young entrepreneurs.

The men and their lawyer told The Associated Press the settlement was an effort to make sure something positive came out of the incident.

Big Media makes heroes and villains in such a way to destroy lives.  These two could have sued for big money but opted to use the event to start something positive.  That's heartening.

That’s just with the city and good for them. They haven’t said what it’s costing Starbucks. More than a dollar I’m thinking.
