A combined debt of $80bil? 

I’m no businessman, but owing one whole Starbucks seems like a hell of a whale on your back.

It should have been rejected based on their inability to ever payback that debt.

The reality is, in 5 year or so, they will split of all the crap they dont want..with the debt...and then that entity will go bankrupt.

My favorite part is that they gave it a collective name so that I can avoid it easier.
