And screw you, Papa John's.

John Schnatter, CEO of the shittiest pizza delivery outfit in the nation, has repeated his threat to cut back employee hours because he doesn't like Obamacare. He claims the law, which would require him to provide a health insurance plan to all of his fulltime employees (and we all know that workers often cover part of the premiums in their paychecks), would cost him $5-$8 million per year. First of all, he ought to be covering all of his fulltime employees anyway. It's good business to have a healthy and therefore productive workforce. Second, $5-$8 million isn't that much given Papa John's record 2012 profits, according to PizzaMarketplace.com: "For the six months ended June 24, revenues were up 7.2 percent to $649.9 from the same period last year; For the six month period, net income was $31.5 million, compared to $28.6 million for the same period last year." Fact: Obamacare will actually improve his business with healthier workers, while not significantly reducing his profit margin. But he'd rather go around pouting like a whiny diaper baby and bullying his existing workers. Way to build morale, you idiot. (Incidentally, Schnatter personally contributed $30,800 to the Republican National Committee this year alone.
