"Until then, the bureaucrats are more than happy to lie through their teeth about the affects of their monstrosity." :
"The principle underlying this bill is: if you don't offer coverage and you have workers who the taxpayers are supporting to get their coverage, than you must make a relatively small contribution," says DeParle. "I understand that they don't like it and believe it will cut into their profits, but it is a relatively small contribution to defray costs to taxpayers."
Aargh!! How can anyone not see that this will only increase costs to taxpayers due to higher prices in EVERYTHING?!

"So they would be saving money at the same time as they are paying the penalty." Union mathematics at work.

examining whether it would make financial sense for the company to eliminate health insurance coverage altogether and have all its employees buy insurance on the federal exchange, says Richardson. And that, folks, has been the Commies plan from Day One.

Thanks KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle. Hey, everybody knows that take-out food is an unneeded and greedy luxury enjoyed almost exclusively by fat, unhealthy, greenhouse-gas-emitting Americans.

We just got Sonic here in Columbus a few years ago. The food is nothing to write home about.

"What rarely seems discussed in this whole abomination is the cost attached to performing income verifications for every employee to determine what household income is." That's what jumped out at me too. I'm an independent project management consultant. I literally don't know what my annual income is because it depends totally on what gigs I land and the rates I can negotiate (rates can vary by $70 hour and sometimes I have a daily rate or cap). In addition, I can't look at my income from past years to estimate what I'll make this year. There's no connection, especially in this marxist induced depression.
I can imagine it's even more difficult for my friend who runs a 2 person company selling cutting tools. He has to pay commissions and hold inventory. So what will the IRS use to calculate his "income"? Gross or net income? Huge difference.

Makes me want to go have some for lunch. I just have to get them 3-4 times a year. That’s not so bad... right!

A job without the best health care benefits is worse than no job at all, so there’s going to be lots more people with no job at all. Go figure.

I might eat 2 or 3 sliders, it's the two sacks of onion chips that kill me later.

Steven Kreisberg of the 1.4 million-member American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees union, questions White Castle's calculations. His union represents food service workers in Ohio public schools and other institutions. Why on earth bring a union thug into this discussion. The union employees he represents are paid off the public trough - comparison to the private sector.

I grew up in Orlando in the fifties and sixties. I ate hundreds of Royal Castle burgers and many mugs of birch beer. Royal Castle’s slogan was: “A Meal Fit for A King.” We always guessed they referred to Roger Miller’s KING OF THE ROAD which fit some of the scruffy diners you’d meet there at 3 a.m. if you were a drunk teenager. Thanks for the memories.

[Krystals is not as good. They are the same shape and stuff, but the flavor just isnt as good or moist. I dont know why.]
Some stores steam the paddies with minced onions rather than frying them. The bun is also placed under the steamer and absorbs some of the meat flavor.
The first hamburger stand of this type I encountered was Milligan’s BeefyBurger in Orlando. The “Beefy” was a confession that it was not all beef but some oatmeal and soy flour. They sold for 12 cents each with mustard and dill pickle and were worth every penny.

I’ll drive up there one weekend and check it out. I have bought frozen White Castle from the Kroger supermarket and microwaved them. They’re alright but it’s an artififical experience.
