Starbucks may be forced to reduce the number of its New York locations to 12,000. This doomsday scenario, should it come to pass, would mean that the average New Yorker would have to walk 2.4 blocks in order to purchase a $5 cup of coffee. Treasury Secretary Paulson and whatsisname, the Bernanke guy, are reportedly at work on the problem and may request a $200 billion “loan” to Starbucks.
