It seems the mayor cannot help but say something insensitive these days:
“We all buy our coffee at the same Starbucks.”
– Mayor Bloomberg, speaking to graduates of LaGuardia Community College’s small business program, on the diversity of New York City.
Uh, huh - except for the homeless woman who huddles in a corner of a building near the Starbucks by my job.
She doesn't buy anything at Starbucks, though I think she might use their bathroom for hygiene purposes.
I guess that's sort of like a shared experience with Bloomberg and the members of the LaGuardia Community College small business program.
Sort of.
Also, I'm sure there are a lot of New Yorkers who aren't willing or able to spend their hard-earned money on Starbucks' overpriced coffee.
