It's just. . .

Can you post a link? We don't like to spend more time there than needed.

Pick a political thread over there any thread and somewhere you will find Goldstein whining about disrespectful posts when he is the first one to eviscerate any poster he doesn't agree with.

There is also this Ron K. guy who is on a crusade to boycott Papa Johns because their owner has the audacity to pass along the increased business costs due to Obamacare along to his customers. I swear about 80% of the people that post in a political thread over there believe that the amount a business owner pays in necessary expenses to run his business has absolutely no impact on the profit he makes from his business.

A mold of what?

The usual goons, including all the Admiral's ignorant family members, are up in arms about John Schnatter.

The usual goons, including all the Admiral's ignorant family members, are up in arms about John Schnatter. The fools don't understand that Schnatter doesn't employ any of the people whose jobs are at risk, because he's a franchisor. It's the employees of his franchisees who he is predicting may lose jobs, if the franchisees determine they can't afford the cost of Obamacare. Schnatter doesn't have anything to say about it. That won't stop the perpetually outraged, though. None of them has ever made a payroll or had to worry about input costs.

The franchisee pays Schnatter 6% of sales as a royalty to pay for the use of the brand name and the recipes. Probably another 6% as contribution to a regional or national cooperative advertising campaign (those awful "Better ingredients, better pizza" commercials). So 12% goes away off the top. Then the franchisee gets to pay the useless teenagers and retards who work for him, at the state-mandated minimum wage which is at least 150% of what they're worth. He pays for ingredients, marketing collateral (boxes and flyers), rent and electricity. After all of that, there might be a buck to a buck and a half left over from every pizza for the shop owner to pay himself to work there 100 hours a week, after having invested $500K to a million to build out the store. (Better hope there's not too much debt.) When Schnatter says Obamacare might add 15¢ to the cost of a pizza, he's really talking about 10-15% of what few nickels are left over for the poor shop owner, who takes all the risk of failure if the phone don't ring and nobody orders no pizza.

At some point, it's not worth it.

By the way, the Admiral just came back from a trip to the UK. Wanna guess how much your $12.00 Papa John's pizza runs in the UK, where they have the kind of wonderful social benefits Obama's fixing you up with? THIRTY BUCKS. The cost of supporting all the freeloaders is a lot less pizzas for the families of those who work.

I make my living from regulatory complexity. More regulations mean more work for me. I'm wealthy, and accustomed to eight-dollar gas and thirty-dollar pizzas anyway. So I'll be fine. But I don't think that's good for Americans. That's what the dipshits have voted for, though: More work for me!

Anyone that lives in Brooklyn and eats Papa Johns, Dominio's, etc, should be ground up and fed to the homeless.

Don't even get me started on Olive Garden or the other "Italian" chain restaurants, like that shitty Macaroni Grill place.

Obamacare or not, I'm for any measure that leads to people boycotting bad pizza, whether it's Papa John's, Pizza Hut or, ugh, Domino's.

And there we are. Doesn't matter how many jobs it costs. Doesn't matter the collateral damage to companies that do business with PJs or the companies that do business with those companies.

'I love cheap pizza!!! Better make that $15 pizza to 3 for $9 and add 2 toppings for FREE on each pie!

Why should they lower their prices for you Alex?

Alex, maybe you should stop pissing off the local pizza guys. Then maybe you could enjoy a real slice, yes?

Steezo's Pizza has a nice ring to it.

Pizza Hut is a "eat in" place. The others (Domino's, PJ, etc) are strictly late night delivery joints. All of them need plenty of toppings and gimmicks to hide the highly mediocre they have going for them.

Does Little Caesar's even exist anymore? I think I ate that once in the early-mid 90's.

I think most of the real NY pizza places use a Grande brand cheese that's a mix of mozzarella and provolone. The places that make those little neapolitan pizzas are using either fresh mozzarella or maybe imported buffalo mozzarella from Italy. You're just eating shit pizza and complaining about it. Eat better shit, but do it less often.

Steezo, as the only member of this forum who's actually spun pies in NYC, I'm gonna tell you to no one would waste provolone by adding it to the pizza mix.

Little Caesars is shit.
