This is a fascinating article about how a significant chunk of Starbucks’ revenue comes from its membership program, which functions as a pseudo-bank with 0% interest.

Negotiations took a backseat to delicious food as world leaders bond over dinner in a castle. Japan housed the G20 Summit this year in Osaka, known fondly as “Japan’s Kit

The G20 menu always raises interest every year, so I figured I should do one!

I researched the menu that night as well as the meaning and chefs involved in planning this feast to provide a well-rounded story.
