Any thoughts on Rudy Giuliani's coffee brand?
Man, fuck that guy and his fucking coffee.
Most of these celebrity coffee brands are worse than grocery store coffee–they use the cheapest possible coffee, farmed in horrific labor conditions on land hugely degraded by deforestation. They exploit workers, land, and communities and then ask you to buy their coffee because you feel some vague ‘affiliation’ with the famous person in question, who has somehow managed to present themselves as oppressed and victimized.
“Oh, woe is me, I tried to overthrow democracy and as a result have some legal bills. Buy my coffee.” It’s all just obvious, transparently avaricious bullshit.
Don’t buy Rudy’s coffee. Buy our coffee. It’s really good. We work hard to make it delicious. We pay our farmers well, and those farmers aren’t contributing to deforestation. It’s just a better way to drink coffee–and nobody’s paying me to say that, which Giuliani sure as fuck can’t say.
