Galtspresso: an idea whose time has come

So, on Saturday, I posted about a chain of coffee franchises that I had found.

From their literature, it was apparent that there was some agreement in philosophy.
For that, they will get my business.

But, I would certainly prefer to give my business to an unabashed, in your face Objectivist chain of coffee franchises.

Galtspresso.

So, today's thought exercise:
what good or service would you most like to see with an unabashed Objectivist branding - and what would you call it?

    This appears to be a classic "check your premises" moment.

    Premise 1: CG has voted for Obummer twice. If true, that is in direct contradiction (especially Vote #2) to:

    Premise 2: CG: "I want an objectivist healthcare provider with people who love medicine and want to build a track record of excellence to get rich, with no tacit suggestion that b/c it's a care-related field it's a charity."

    One of these premises is wrong. CG?

    At the expense of promoting an existing brand Wiggy's sleeping bags are made and sold by an objectivist!

    You want "an objectivist healthcare provider with people who love medicine and want to build a track record of excellence to get rich, with no tacit suggestion that b/c it's a care-related field it's a charity." Really, you want that? I thought you wanted bo to be president..TWICE. Which is it??? Do you even hear yourself? Double speaker.

    The objectivist brand needs work. Politicians have tried to co-opt it to mean the opposite of what it is (what I read in AS and Fountainhead, anyway). Other people use it as a sanctimonious fig leaf to throw over their acting like asses.

    For this reason, I see objectivism as have a cost rather than a value of it were associated with an enterprise.

    If there were a word that people hear and think "valuing people's fundamental right to themselves and what they make," "doing what you think is right and not operating as a cog in a group," "not treating others with pity or contempt," "not grudgingly doing something b/c other people say that's what moral," "not trying to guilt-trip or cajole people into something they don't really want," it would be hugely popular.

    That being said, I want an objectivist healthcare provider with people who love medicine and want to build a track record of excellence to get rich, with no tacit suggestion that b/c it's a care-related field it's a charity.

    I liked the "Ragnar Repossessions" used in the marketing gear a lot.

    Interesting history regarding coffee houses in western culture.http://www.amazon.com/A-History-World-6-Glasses/dp/0802715524
    The rise in popularity of coffee houses in Amsterdam lead to the first modern stock markets. Places to do business and also for the intellectuals to discuss philosophy and politics. seems like a nice fit :) There is also an historical novel, "The Coffee Trader"
