Its misleading, its based on capita and not people attempting to get rich. Hence, people who do nothing make it appear more difficult to get rich in the US than it may actually be. People come from around the world to do business in the US for a reason.

If anything he makes good points about education.

I don't believe that it is US

For me is to benefit from western education and then go to a country that is growing like maybe China, Brazil, India. Honestly maybe I am wrong but I think that countries like US are already too mature to really promote social ascension. In this kind of country is manly about rich peopole getting richer.

Regarding Switzerland maybe you will get "rich" compared to a french guy or italian but it just a lie because cost of living is ve3ry high. A simple swiss secretary win more money that a boss in France but has to spend more to have the same level of life.
I am from Geneva and and what I can say is that because it is small city often people know eachother so usualy rich people help sons of their rich friends and it is more difficult to rise socially when your father is a delivery man than a doctor.

Obviously the Congo

Since this has clearly been taken way out of context, one should realize if I'm sold a beverage that says, say 20oz, but actually only has 15oz due to so much ice...we have a major false advertising case.

Just thought of this just now...

They say 20oz cup, meaning 20oz of liquid can fit into that cup, and technically when the ice melts into water you'd still have the acutal 20oz of liquid right?  I wonder if that can be used to counter the woman.  

or....

I mean when asked or when we tell 20oz we always refer to the size/cup size which technically they do give us a cup that handles that amount of oz.

Anyways, I think that's why I always think Starbucks is a little weird to label their cup sizes that way.  Fastfoods are smarter with just small,medium, or large because that's just the cup size regardless of how much liquid is in it.

Starbucks cup sizes are weird.  A tall is a small? A grande (which many see that as grand, thus meaning large) is like the 2nd smallest.  

I think the lawsuit is stupid, but if Starbucks loses then serves them right for trying to be confusingly 'different' with their cup sizes.  Just stick with small, medium, large.

Earth, just find a natural resource, take it and sell it until it's dry.
What nation your from doesn't really matter, you just need to find a loop-hole in the law and be cold enough to go through with it with no care about anything but your goal. USA got old rules and tons of loop-holes and they don't care if your innocent or not without evidence, even if it's clear and plain, lots of opportunities to live off the misery of others. People who sues the state, steals from the people of the state (You, if your a united stater's) 

That's not true. First of all, water expands by 9% when it's frozen. Most people don't let their ice melt in their drinks. They will most likely done with the drink once the drink is empty except for the ice. 

If you really want to see the difference for yourself. Pour only water into a 20oz cup til it's full then pour it into a bowl. Now fill up the same cup with ice and fill it up with water. Now. put a strainer over a seperate bowl then dump the water from the cup with the ice in it. Take the strainer with the ice away and now you can compare the difference. 

The type of ice makes a very noticeable difference. Crushed ice is the most filling. 

In all honesty, the woman is not wrong about the ice. It's a dickhead business practice. Fast food and coffee shops are the most guilty of it. The problem is that just about any business that sells drinks with ice use ice a filler. Some actually go so far that they'll charge you more for drink without ice than they would with the same drink with no ice. They actually make a good bit off of the drinks. If starbucks can be sued over it then the others can too. Most likely, starbucks will use "everyone does it" as a part of their defense if it's not dismissed. 

I disagree with that lawsuit but not about the ice. It's a rip off. Most of the time when I eat from a fast food restaurant, I order drinks with no ice because I'm aware of the difference. i don't buy anything from coffee shops. i make my own coffee drinks. Sit in restaurants, I just order a regular drink.

Lawyers everywhere fuck up capitalism really, from exp seen a case of a person getting close to €1m from emergency service people who helped them from a car which was burning... which they had crashed, while drunk because their back hurt after the lift....
