"New Jersey's governor Christie has decided that all new motor vehicles must be sold through middlemen. This blocks Tesla from directly selling cars, without traditional car sellers. Although, New Jersey decided so this week, they are in good company: 48 states in the US ban or restrict direct car sales."

" There's generally only one coffee shop around in most places: Starbucks."
Haven't been to Seattle or Spokane WA, then have you? Many more independent coffee shops than Starbucks. Nearly every 4th corner in Spokane (where I live) and more in Seattle.
The independent shops here sell White Coffee as well, which Starbucks doesn't.
Here, Starbucks has a lot of competition from good retailers.
Relevant part of article: (note Picture Popup in link...)
White coffee beans are not roasted, but instead are exposed to a low and dry heat for a very long time. Instead of caramelizing and browning, the beans become pale and the sugars inside do not turn bitter. In one sense, the beans are actually developed into white coffee by undercooking them, creating a very different taste from what traditionally is thought of as coffee.
The taste of white coffee is described as nutty, acidic and somewhat floral.
Come on by! We'll have a White Iced Latte and a bowl of Girl Scout Cookies! Fun times!

Yes, and several times the caffeine in White Coffee.
Caffeine is a volitional organic substance, most of which is lost in roasting. (Especially at Starbucks which over-roasts most of their coffee). Most espresso roasts contain less caffeine than commercially ground coffee.
White Coffee is hard on your grinder too. You will go through burs in months instead of years.
Around here, (Seattle area) the roster I deal with sells it to specialty cafes that mix it in with roasted coffee to increase the caffeine and add back the nutty flavor. It doesn't tend to sell well by itself.
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

Hello from the other side of the state!
Yeah, the white is more popular by itself over here (oddly enough, it appeared over here about a year before I could find it in Seattle.)than it is on the other side of the Cascades. And
I much prefer ANY independent shop over Starbucks.
I don't grind it myself but I brew it at home all the time. (Alpine White is my favorite)
At least we have a choice here and are not constrained by a Starbucks monopoly!
A cup and a toke to ya mate....
