Papa John's: Obamacare likely to raise costs, employee's hours being cut

yes, they are

 

is the military communist/socialist, how about the national, interstate highway system?

 

Employees hours being cut means more work for employees. More work for employees equals longer delivery times to customers. Longer delivery times to customers equals less business for Papa Johns and more business for competitors. Capitalism -- adjust or die.

 

Wrong. You lefties are so sad at understanding business economics.

I can merely hire 10 people more to compensate for the hourly reductions.

 

you have no idea what you are asking

 

The point of a business is to amass wealth, is it not?

 

His Competitors will be having the SAME PROBLEM, unless they are Obama's campaign donors, of course. Then , they might be reciprients of "green pizza" grants, from the PRODUCER CLASS.

More Free Corn for the Free Corn Pigs!!

 

You cant employ ten new people on a saving of ten cents per pizza sold.

 

Papa Johns can afford to pay for universal healthcare for their employees in the UK, why not the USA?

 

Yes you can. Thats about 10,000 pizzas.

10 people 20 hrs wk * 7/hr / $.14 = about 10k.

Papa Johns stores can easily do 10k in a week.

(granted, the 10 people estimate was just a generalization). They could merely reduce 5 people by 10hrs, and hire 2 people.

 

you're completely wrong again, i know exactly what i'm talking about

which is probably why you ducked the question

 

No you don't. You never ask anything worth answering.

 

Demand for goods and services provided by a business.... Quite simple really. If people want pizzas, they will hire enough people to provide those pizzas to the people who want them. So Papa John's should probably worry less about Obamacare(a bill I think is awful, but can't be convinced it will have any significant impact on Papa Johns. Smaller businesses, sure. Papa John's, no), and worry more about making their pizzas edible. At the moment Papa John's should hope healthcare deteriorates, and that peoples tastebuds and decision making skills are effected by their deteriorating health, and then people will buy more Papa John's pizza!!

 

Exactly. And so many people are claiming that these people are greedy too and it just makes sense to me that they if they are greedy then won't they just find another way to get their money back? I haven't heard a single person address that issue that is asking for the rich to pay for their "fair share".

By the way I got to give you kudos on the sig. You made a bet and then followed through with it. PF is normally so divisive you wouldn't think to see someone man up to do something like that.

 

Any efficient business hires the number of people that are required to provide the good or service they produce to their customers. If that requires 10 people, a reduction in the cost of production, will not necessarily lead to increased hiring, and will likely simply lead to increased profits(and nothing else). This is a simple reality most people who adhere to supply side economic explanations too stringently always seems to forget.

 

fine, keep on running away from it

 

Your question is so broad, it can't even begin to be answered.

Its like asking if every business is inefficient.

 

is the military communist/socialist?

yes or no will suffice

 

Is a busines inefficient? yes or no will suffice.

 

Depends on wether that is your goal. The point of a business is what the owner wishes its aim to be. Not all business is opened for the express purpose to amass wealth, some are designed and built to not only make money, but to help others in the process. I know its a foreign concept to most republicans, but business can and should be concerned not only about making money, but of being a good steward of the community.

 

The MORE WEALTH ONE AMASSES, the MORE PEOPLE one CAN HELP.

Just paying THEIR OWN WAY, is a "foreign concept" to most Democrats, who are the Free Corn Pigs,MUCH LESS HELPING SOMEONE ELSE, but conservatives, particularly conservative Christians, share their success via charitable giving that DWARFS that of the Free Corn Pigs, whose hands NEVER GIVE, ONLY TAKE.

mine's not

 

I disagree. The point of businesses, is only to make profits(or amass wealth, or however you want to put it). There may be long term incentives to helping the community, and businesses may make the decision that healthy communities are good for business, but it IS NOT the point of a business to help the community. It's only point is to make a profit.

PS. That is why many people believe government has a role to play in regulating a market based capitalist economy, because businesses only goal is to make profit, and sometimes making a profit is opposed to the interests of society as a whole. That is where government is meant to step in, to ensure the interests businesses have in making profits, don't harm the rest of society.

 

Sorry, not here, not any more.

Fail to adjust = get government bailout

The referees are allowing the players to make the rules as they go.

If I was Pappa John's, I would shut it all down immediately and live comfortably on my savings in that castle.

It would be fun to watch the incredulous demand that they be provided jobs.
