In reply to the discussion: Denny's Franchisee Imposes Surcharge For Obamacare [View all]PD Turk
(1,289 posts)30. It really is like a drug for some of them
The accumulation of money, it's an addiction with them. They remind me of the classic old stereotype you see in movie and tv with the drunk sitting at the bar when the bartender cuts him off . "Hey buddy, don't you think you've had enough?" and the drunk... "I'll tell you when I've had enough!!" That's what these assholes remind me of, it's all about them getting more and more and they don't care who they hurt to get it, their employees, their communities, their country. It just doesn't matter to them.
I think it's time for an intervention.

I'd pay 5% more anywhere, if it meant the employees had healthcare and decent wages
