Oh, no, Obamacare claims another victim:
“I probably could keep Chester Cab Pizza going for a while more. But when I see the mandates that businesses will be required to comply with by 2014, I figure those would be the mandates that would break the camel’s back. So why wait, my work is done. Why delay the inevitable?”
“There’s a perfect storm brewing, involving a number of factors. There are higher fuel and food costs (due to mid-west droughts and corn ethanol mandates), higher labor and health care requirements, and a hostile New York State business environment. With high unemployment and U.S. Labor salaries being stagnant, I did not feel we could push the prices to the customer any higher.”
“It just seems to be the right time to shut it down and say good-bye to my customers and employees and thank them.”
You’d think he was going out of business, but actually he sold the place to one of his managers, probably at a profit.
This guy is a serial Galtian douche – last year he replaced the front page of another restaurant he owned with a long rant about union thuggery. The real story was that he rehabbed a restaurant that was located in a special taxation district where property taxes were greatly reduced as long as you did all your work with “prevailing wage” contractors, which in practice turn out to be union. He didn’t want to pay those wages, so he hired his own contractors, and when the unions turned him in, he cried just like a little girl.
The protagonist in Atlas Shrugged was selling something nobody else had, a special metal that was the product of his ubermensch intellect and sweat of his brow. Papa John and this local douche are selling pizza. Anyone with enough money to rent an storefront, pay minimum wage teenagers and buy the cheapest rubbery cheese available can open a pizza place. Please, you whiny fucks, deprive us of your productivity. Maybe the type II diabetics in your neighborhood will stave off amputation for a few more years without your greasy pies.

How did that pizzeria get past the ADA? It’s got a steep flight of stairs up to what looks like the only entrance.
Maybe it’s a delivery-only pizzeria? Grandfathered in as a really old business?
ArchTeryx
Pizzeras are one of the easiest restaurants to equip and open, and one of the most profitable. It’s quite hard to screw up a pizza and most of the ingredients cost very little (though cheese is getting more and more expensive these days, and pizza prices are rising accordingly). Plus, you get an almost guaranteed customer base unless there are already too many other pizza joints.
The stuff on that link would have tipped the political savvy diner off even before getting to the rant text – Sticky Lips BBQ? That’s as Southern Fried as you can get; just the front page of the menu screams “Republican jackass” to me.
I wouldn’t say EVERY restauranteur is like that, but I would be shocked if less then 99% of them weren’t also Republican douchewipes. They just don’t put their politics right on the front page of their menu. (Any Republican owned restaurant that did that in a place like where I live, Ann Arbor, would be out of business before the first rent check was due).

One of the unforeseen fringe benefits of Obamacare is apparently its ability to clear out the drek in our capitalist system.
dmsilev
@Baud: As has been often pointed out, wingnuts are obsessively driven to do the opposite of whatever Obama is advocating. The logical corollary to this, also often pointed out, is that Obama needs to embark on a national “don’t drink bleach or lick 3-phase power outlets” campaign.
RepubAnon
Your comments about the resources needed to open a pizza parlor reminded me of an old Round Table Pizza commercial touting how some of their competitors used inferior ingredients (“Is the price of soy-based protein extender pushing your unit costs through the roof, Mr. Pizza Operator? Try our artificial soy extender…”)
More seriously, only in an Ayn Rand novel can someone invent something and start producing it in useful quantities – all by themselves. It’s a supply chain / team thing. Only in a Bugs Bunny cartoon can one über-rabbit play both pitcher and catcher simultaneously while also playing shortstop, first base, second base, third base, left field, center field, and right field.
Besides, a Galtian superman shouldn’t need any of those moocher employees – shouldn’t the brilliant pizza store owner be able to take the orders, assemble and bake the pizzas, bus the tables, wash the dishes, and still have plenty of time left to make the mozzarella, grow the mushrooms, onions, olives, raise the pigs and cows needed for the salami, pepperoni, Canadian bacon…

Ayn Rand’s brilliant inventor has as little to do with the 1% of the real world as Indiana Jones does with real archaeology. In real life, that special metal would have been invented by a college professor and his gaggle of grad student interns working with government grants, and the Job Creating Superhero’s only involvement would have been to swoop in once everything had been worked out and start selling it, with little to no profit going to the actual inventors.

Restaurants are a Galtian paradise because the wingnut advantages are (pun alert!) baked in.
Low wage employees, ingredients that can hide their humble origins with breading and sauces, a work environment that is both high pressure and tolerant of Narcissistic asshats, plus lots of cash to skim.
Not to mention the way they can sweep into the establishment wrapped in the aura of The Owner. This lets a jerk buy friends with comped drinks and meals. This lets a sadist bully their employees, who are one paycheck away from eviction. They get to put their name above the door, all over the menu, and even name dishes after themselves.
Now add in franchising, where they don’t even have to be particularly good at it… and it’s no wonder they infest that culture like weevils in hardtack.

@WereBear: I must go to completely different places. I frequent small restaurants, where the chef/owner pays his people seemingly well, as they are happy and stay there for a long time, and where they pride themselves on using quality, local ingredients, very often listed by producer of origin (local farmers/fishermen, etc.) You can run a good and profitable restaurant without being an asshat.

It’s like musical chairs. For 30 years low wage employers have been jamming their ass onto a chair someone else is sitting on, and paying for. The chair is labeled “uncompensated care” or “Medicaid” or “another employer”, and there’s a price on each chair. We’re all pretending low wage employers found a chair.
The PPACA says “here’s your chair. It costs 2000 dollars. Sit THERE or you’re out”.

The pizza shop entrepreneur has assured himself that he is a businessman of substance, and applies his variety of nearly kitchen table microeconomics to everything in the world around him. Thus, he becomes the economist who has all answers to baseline budgeting, the deficit, macroeconomics, etc. Further, he knows everything about human resources from his experience with the motivations and work ethic of his handful of part-time minimum wage employees. In the realm of regulatory policy, he knows how upset he was when the health department gave him a C, and when ABC cited him for selling beer to that table full of cute 19year old girls he was talking to. On tax policy, he was totes pissed off when the state drilled him for failing to remit sales taxes in order to take advantage of a great deal on a lake boat. On social issues, he knows that his 7 tables are really for the neighborhood folks, and doesn’t want to be told that he has to accommodate, you know, those people.
It is a natural wingnut constituency.

The Masters of the Universe have long since embraced the lie that they alone are economically irreplaceable. It simultaneously issues and justifies their warped sense of entitlement.
Except no one is irreplaceable.
If the Carried Interest deduction were eliminated tomorrow and Stephen Schwarzman, the CEO of private equity firm Blackstone Group who compared such a move to the Nazi’s invading Poland, decided that it was no longer “sexy” enough a proposition to run a private equity firm and that he was better off retiring to a Caribbean beach to be doted upon by scantily-clad women, the impact of that decision would be limited to two kinds of people:
The first is Christine Hearst, Schwarzman’s wife, who would might object to the bit about the scantily-clad women.
The second are all the senior managers at Blackstone Group, who would crawl over each other with long knives to take Schwarzman’s place at the top of the pile. Would they make less money than Schwarzman? Sure. But they’d still be making more than they did, and would continue to lack the skill set needed for virtually any other kind of work that offered similarly high returns.

What is it about these pizza “magnates” that makes them such uber-Galtians? The same applies to many chain restaurant owners who act like they’re entrepreneurial geniuses besieged by small thinking people who just want to get paid a living wage.

They don’t understand, or care, how their lousy treatment of employees to improve their own economies actually damages the larger economy.

I’m going to go all PC you on you.”Genetic male” isn’t quite right, and some people could even find it offensive, as people that are trans are “genetically trans” and someone FAAB but trans consider themselves male from the beginning – so….
