      I mean, Bolivia has a socialist President, so chances are the workers aren’t actually as exploited as they could be elsewhere.

              Yeah, I know. I wanted to err on the side of caution. I could have said “The US has 0” but didn’t want someone to show up with “well actually in my state…”

              This thread seems to be about right-wing Americans getting their “non-woke” coffee from Bolivia so that’s what I used for my comparison.

              But sure, let’s compare it to Europe:

              • Bolivia has universal healthcare, similar to most European countries. No idea about the quality of course.
              • Annual leave gets a bit complicated to compare. For the first five years, it’s a minimum of 10 days, that’s not much indeed. The lowest in Europe (though non-EU) seems to be Turkey with 14 days for the first five years. For years 5-10, it’s a minimum of 20 days, about the same as much of Europe. After 10 years, it goes up to a minimum of 30 days which is actually more than most European countries have as mandatory leave (though for example in Germany, many companies offer 30 days instead of the required 20 as a common perk).
              • Maternity leave is similar to the lower end of Europe, For comparison, Germany has 14 weeks at 100% pay.

              Overall: not perfect but also not bad for a relatively small country in South America with a GDP that’s way lower than most of Europe.

      Do they know that brown people touch their coffee? I don’t know but that diversity bullshit sounds pretty woke to me

    The idea of anti-woke coffee just makes me chuckle. What’s the inverse of biting the onion, because that’s what I did here.

    “hits harder than trumps tariffs” is a phrase I’m really getting sick of.

    My wife watches shorts all the time and I keep hearing people saying that in them.

    “This isn’t your latte-sipping liberal twig boy coffee. This is an anti WOKE blend grown and harvested in non-free trade prison plantations using pesticides banned by the Geneva convention and common human decency for that delicious taste of freedom. These beans are carefully grown by kidnapped indigenous children under gunpoint of the watchful eye of the revolutionary guerilla army deep in the jungles of Bolivia. Artisanal roasters working for just 20 cents a day create a flavor profile that’s more bitter than the pain of their existence. Try 1775 today and show those libs that you’re not just a piece of shit with poor taste, you’re a Trump-loving conservative. For a limited time for every bag you purchase, we’ll donate 25 cents to the Israeli Defense fund Bombs for Kids. Order now!”

      The coffee is actually USDA Organic and they call it “ethically sourced” … which sounds incredibly woke and social-justicy. But I am sure they fully embrace the irony.

      And they have a handy table on the topic actually. One of the items is “supports FREE SPEECH”.
