Someone once told me that John had some plan to open a gated catholic-only community in Florida or some ridiculous BS like that, I dismissed it before and can't find anything about it via google search but has anyone else heard anything about it?

Asshole's a billionaire who lives in a castle and has the nerve to claim the "need to cut the wages of his employees" because of Obamacare.
Holy fuck...that house

Didn't the USDA pay for Domino's to change their recipe, and to push that, "We're better now!" campaign?

I don't eat much pizza.

Take a look at EVERY SINGLE major chain restaurant, retail store, etc etc etc.

They have ALL used the impending Obamacare AND minimum wage increases are reasons to BOTH:

1) Increase their prices on everything
2) Cut wages and jobs COMPLETELY

Subway for example now has like 3 total things on their "five dollar footlong" menu, and most everything else is $7.50. My aunt owns a Subway, and it's KILLING their business. Their food costs HAVE skyrocketed I'll admit that. Of course, corporate is reporting higher-than-ever profits to its investors.

No surprise there

Additionally they've ALL implemented "raise freezes" pretty much across the board. They know the minimum wage increase is coming, IN SEVERAL ***YEARS***, and they've used that as an excuse to free all wage increases til then.

this guy is a huge tool, can't take responsibility for the fact his company can't compete in the economy instead of improving he blames his employees on some BS and then lays them off claiming they asked for it

I won't defend the dude being a dick. I've actually heard the same thing from people who have met him. I also am not familiar with whatever the transcript was of shit he said, nor do I really feel like reading what an asshole has to say about something he probably doesn't understand.

I'm also not against state sponsored health care necessarily, but just remember someone is going to have to pay for it. If you think anyone who owns a business is just going to pony up and eat losses to pay for Obamacare I think you'd be mistaken. Businesses are an investment, and you want to be sure your investment is doing the best it can.

That being said, he probably should have kept his mouth shut. I'll still eat papa john's cause I enjoy it, but then again I'd be an awful food critic.

I hope you realize that they started doing that about a year before Obama even got elected the first time (here in the northeast at least).

Mistirecting context.

If something like that happened to me I'd make sure to personally cost that manager more money then Obamacare would have. Just saying. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That would be my first thought but the sadistic motherfucker in me would want to cause a long lasting amount of psychological punishment coupled with acts (mostly vandalism I suppose) costing him tons of money.
