Mmmm! Goddamn, Jimmie! This is some serious gourmet shit!
I just found out that it is possible to (if I'm reading this right) buy a $20,000 cup of coffee.
All I'm saying is there better be free refills. For life. That's over half of my income from 2007.
Reading a bit further it seems the headline is a bit misleading, as $20,000 is the cost of the fancy pants coffee maker and not (as far as I can tell) a per cup cost. I'm sure that the coffee will still be too expensive, but it's not nearly as angering as $20,000 for a cup of coffee. Anybody buying a $20,000 cup of coffee needs to be shot in the face until unrecognisable. Everybody in the country who is poor and has no idea how we're going to survive one week to the next would probably rally and march down there just to beat the crap out of the snotty rich fuck who needs a $20,000 cup o' joe, but they could never afford the travel expenses or afford to take the time off from their minimum wage paying jobs.
By the way... I just did the math. A person in Illinios making minimum wage working 40 hours per week would have to work 65 weeks straight without taking a break just to have a high enough Gross income to buy that coffee.
I really hate rich people.
