Jewish ex-CEO of Starbucks uses an analogy to suggest he ran Starbucks like a concentration camp...? This is supposed to be his way of telling workers not to unionize.

Quote
Former Starbucks CEO uses Holocaust analogy to describe coffee company’s mission

Schultz said that the concentration camp story is a tale about humanity and that Starbucks has a long tradition of doing right by its employees.
[...]
His comments to workers came ahead of a unionization vote by some workers in Buffalo, New York.

In a video on Starbucks’ YouTube page, Schultz, who is Jewish, can be seen speaking passionately to employees Saturday. He refers to a story about Holocaust prisoners at concentration camps in Poland who had to share their limited resources.

“Not everyone, but most people, shared their blanket with five other people,” Schultz says, adding that he was inspired to share his own “blanket” with five other people. “So much of that story is threaded into what we’ve tried to do at Starbucks — is share our blanket.”

It sounds like he's describing the living conditions of the average Starbucks employee. How much of a psychopath does he have to be to think that was a good thing to say to employees?

He owns around $4 billion and made $1 billion over the course of the pandemic.
