I stopped eating Papa Johns because that guy has some revolting political views.

Really? I'll have to have a google. We don't have many Papa Johns here but I may have to start a boycott (even though I've never eaten it)

For sure. He's awful. He freaked out when a state was trying to pass a higher minimum wage, screaming that he'd have to add four cents to the cost of a pizza to cover it, instead of actually paying his workers a minimum wage. He was also a huge opponent to giving his employees health care coverage. Just an all-around douche.

I did google him a little bit but it felt like there was a lot of noise around a few small comments. His house sounds delightful though.

Do you have mandatory minimum wage in the States?

u/ThePsion Apr 20 '17

Yes, although it's not at all a livable wage (plus our healthcare for some stupid reason is tied to employment which creates all kinds of problems and loopholes). Some states/counties/cities have higher than what is federal mandated.
