The Starbucks Theory

We all love Stabucks, don't we? Would like to share an article regarding how Starbucks effect the economics of one country. Its not foolproof, but apparently, the more Starbucks outlets we have, the harder the economy of that country will fall. The highest concentration of Starbucks should be at Bukit Bintang area I think. Hope our banks are really that resilient. :) I think I need to cut down on my coffee consumption too though I seldom support Starbucks.

Here's the link from Malaysian Insider:

Interestingly, Iceland also have none, BUT they are almost bankrupt as a country!

so these kinds of theories are ... well, like you read what want to read and skip the parts which do not correlate with it.

p/s : i can't afford even a small sized starbucks, just patiently awaits for vendors to treat me a large one LOL!
