That's a restaurant problem, not a JJ's problem. If you eat in restaurants, there are sick workers working. Virtually no restaurant companies provide sick time, so the workers that need the income will work until they're noticeably sick.

Your shtick is getting old. JJ's is awesome and I have looked into their financials when we were considering franchising them. Very favorable to most of the restaurant business. This is not a fad like SHAK. They've been around for a long time and had very good success.

Essentially if you're not using "people skills", (i.e. sales, management, marketing, creative trades, etc) or physically doing things that bots can't do (ie construction trades) you are a candidate to lose your job to automation. One day in the not too distant future, you won't even have to...

Even though they require human supervision, one terminal supervisor and 4 kiosks can probably handle the workload of 3 human cashiers.

Unfortunately there are way too many different types of inflation and other factors influencing inflationary regimes for there to be one "best" inflation hedge. Gold, REIT's, energy stocks, gold stocks, T-Bills, and TIP's are all at different times depending on what type of inflation we're...

Ok fair enough, but to be clear, I don't believe having a high net worth makes one hypocritical. I think it's hypocritical when someone talks contrary to how they live. It's like the sleazy former criminal who professes to have found god, or the so-called "anti-government" Republicans who...

Not jealous. I'm 100% in favor of capitalism. I'm involved in the ownership of a business with a significant amount of employees (hundreds) and real estate that is affected by skyrocketing utility costs, partly from Obama's mandated EPA standards. I know that when guys like this start...

Please, I don't listen to Rush or Alex Jones. Let me break down the hypocrisy of Al Gore for instance. If he's so convinced there is global warming, then why not fly commercial and save all the jet fuel? If he's so convinced that man made global warming is impacting the earth, then why live...

That's a bizarre analogy, and isn't even remotely relevant. If you don't see my point, then it sounds like there's not much more to discuss. I'm sick of being lectured about fairness from people that have just stepped off of a private jet. I would simply like to see someone actually show...

Like I said, I'm sure he's a great guy. I have no doubt he's very charitable. My wife and I are very charitable too, but clearly PDJ gives more in absolute terms. I know what I give in relative terms, and have no clue what he gives relative to his wealth, but that's not the point. If he...

Let's see him walk the walk and then he can lecture about "changing the game". Give it all away. I'm talking EVERYTHING. Not to his kids, not when he dies. Now. He's played the game, he's won the game, he thinks the game isn't fair. Put his money where his mouth is and live a more "average"...

Calling out hypocrisy and blaming are two totally different things.

Good, now he can get back to lecturing us about capitalism.

I agree. I don't believe the U.S. has an appetite for something like this. It could happen in Europe, but they're such a trainwreck with so many other things to work out, I would say it's only 25% likely to happen there in the next 5 years. The U.S. is at least another 8 years or so from being...

Home traders are meaningless. There are so few of them and such small numbers/amounts that it's worthless to not include institutions.

Ok, I think you sound like a broken record most of the time, but you're probably right that Bojangles going public is a sign of an impending market top.

Except for unlike Ackman, I seriously doubt he put his money behind his call.

If you're laughing at it, it's probably a great idea.

It would be fascinating to watch a documentary of Jack and his disciples. Part genius, part deranged lunatic.

I would sign up for 81 right now.
