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?

    Oh, I love the idea of a chain of Objectivist coffee houses. Here are some names: The Fountainhead. Dollar Sign Salon. Shruggers' Shack. The Rand Stand. You build them, and I'll contribute some intelligent games for the tables. - I like Galtspresso, too.

    I need computer/software help. somewhere you show up, take a class that's no nonsense and then can bring your computer in and start using new software and get some help. also, I love to just drop stuff off and say-fix this, when can I pick this up? and I like 24/7 service at a premium

    ACA is a mixed bag. I lobbied successfully to have HSAs not outlawed by the program. I lobbied unsuccessfully to have some sort of "term" insurance option with underwriting, as way around manditory no-underwriting insurance. I criticized the public option, but I don't recall whether I actually talked to any staffers or policy-makers.

    Here's something I wrote about it five years ago when it was a work in progress: http://madprudence.blogspot.com/2009/12/...

    Probably my most controversial (from an objectivist standpoint) idea is that gov't should help the poor. I agreed with that part of PPACA. (We can have another post on why that's not alms.) My biggest disagreement with it is it was sold as a way for the gov't to manage middle class medical purchases. Gov't offering to managing citizens' lives is a horrible thing, almost as bad as hurting people directly.

    Yes, most patients seem to feel that even the newest tools are actually medieval torture instrments!

    It's a great post, so lets get it back on track. I would love to work with an objectivist attorney, God forbid I need an attorney!

    Puzzlelady, CG is not here to learn, and they are not mistakes. He is not open to reason or rational thinking. We have all tried

    Come on, give the guy a chance to work his way through to better premises, greater enlightenment. Don't condemn him forever for earlier mistakes. Set a better example, reason well, point to rational premises. Learning takes time and patience. There's a fine line between tough love and ad hominem put-downs.

    Soooo, Am I correct in concluding you did not support Obamacare? Would you then disagree that most of Obama's policies are of the same socialistic, redistributionist flavor as was pulled off in the "Affordable" Care Act?

    CG is not confused. He knows exactly what his beliefs are, and he is neither a fan of Rand or an Objectivist. Notice how confusing his posts are. He's not that stupid.
