Dominos, papa johns, and all those other chain pizza places suck ass. Shit people, dont you have any actual local pizza joint around you? 99% of the time they are far superior to any of these chains. Go support a local business.
And the best part is, local pizza places usually cost LESS then these fucking chains. You're spending more money on cardboard and tomatoe paste then on an actual good pizza.
I'm pretty certain employers have been passing health care costs onto consumers for decades.
Obamcare defines "full-time" employees as those working at least 30 hours per week. This new definition means employees working 30+ hours per week must be provided health insurance coverage by their employer. Naturally, employers will respond by only giving employees less than 30 hours per week to save costs, or by hiring contractors.
Its objectively fair to blame Obamacare for this. That is law change that is pushing employers like Papa John's to do this.
Of course they are. Look at the nonsense Trump and that moron who claimed Obama was fixing the unemployment numbers are pulling. Look at what the banks are doing even after Bush and Obama used taxpayer money to save their crooked asses. People claiming this is Obamacare's fault are conveniently ignoring countries across the world that have even more comprehensive coverage, like Switzerland. These mental midgets are just looking for excuses and the American people not being subservient enough to elect their golfing buddy has quite a few of them "miffed."
Maybe it is time we brought something else over from France besides French Fries. The guillotine comes to mind.

This is horrible. They're intentionally fucking themselves to make the situation look bad.

The majority of businesses exist to make money. Ergo, business will do what it takes to remain profitable.
If an expense increases, it results in a few actions. One is to increase prices and have the buyer absorb most or all of the cost. Another is to reduce the reliance on the cause of that expense (reducing the expense overall). In reality, a mix of both is the most common.
Unfortunately for employees at Papa Johns (and hundreds of other companies), the increase in expense is in personnel - directly attributed to Obamacare. Thus, lay-offs.
Just like haters gonna hate and gators gonna gait, (profit) makers gonna make.
The attempts to get more people insured, increase wages (eg: minimum wage), etc. are all in good spirit. The problem is that they result in a net loss of jobs/income and an increase in the cost of goods and services.
Having 100 people employed at $5/hr is inherently better for the economy than having 50 people employed at $10/hr.
Free market is such a lousy term. Can you buy slaves? Can you sell children? How bout plutonium or illicit drugs? We don't have a free market and never will and never have. The reality of the conversation is that we are arguing about the margins. Many of us happen to think being a civilized society means people get health care.

His problems can be offset by a slight and not likely even noticeable increase to his pizza prices yet he is going to lay people off and cut hours instead. Or do both.
