Subway founder: Obama has created oppresive regulatory environment

[kiwiman127]

Now that you bring it up,,,,,,! There is nothing like the original "slider" after way too many cheap drinks!

 

[NYcarbineer]

Use your heads, people.

This guy claims he couldn't start Subway today? Subway started with one restaurant in 1965.

According to the link below, Subway was on track to open 1200 new Subways, in North America, in 2012.

So this idiot claims he couldn't start one Subway restaurant today, but Subway managed to start around a 1000 here last year? And no doubt will open hundreds this year?

Anyone else see a pattern here? All of the successful entrepreneurs who went from rags to riches admit they wouldn't have been able to start or build their businesses in the current climate that Obama and the communist liberals have created....

The founder of Subway says there’s no way he could start the sandwich chain today, thanks to the oppressive regulatory environment and Obamacare.

So, Subway is going out of business?

They're expanding in socialist countries all over the world.

After several cocktails, those sliders look like this!

"It takes real ignorance to try to judge our past by today's standards, those people built a nation envied by the world with the best knowledge the had available and as knowledge was gained things changed. Now we are to the point of diminishing returns on regulations and most are put in place by bureaucrats trying to justify their jobs, not because there is a real need for them."

THESE WORDS SHOULD CARVED IN STONE AND DISPLAYED EVERYWHERE.

Thank yo, OKTexas!

Because it's cheaper if America doesn't have health care. Let them die in the streets.

People were not dying in the streets four years ago, and they were not dying in the streets eight years ago. Consequently, your comments are garbage.

Regulations cost money and regulations cost time. Both tend to increase the cost of getting into business and the cost of staying in business. Since the same regulations apply to small businesses and big businesses, it is easy to guess what a larger percentage of gross profits does to handicap small businesses as they attempt to compete with big businesses.

Most businesses today need to assign full time people just to ensure compliance with all of the federal, state, and local regulations. Most small businesses cannot eat that cost.

There are other weaknesses in his argument.

1. Are we supposed to believe that other countries can have universal health care AND still have franchise restaurants, and somehow, some way, America can't do it?

2. He started his restaurant in the 1960's. Certainly, a lot had changed between then and 2009 when Obama became president. So, I don't really see where it makes much sense to lay all the blame for his perceived ills on our regulatory system on a man who's been president for only 4 of the last 48 years.

And, the founder of Subway has amassed a great fortune by producing fat and salt-laden, mass produced, artificially flavored sandwiches handed out by underpaid teenage workers which even the Earl of Sandwich would refuse.

What's your point?

Here is a tip for you:

DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE YOU SPOT OFF!

Nobody, not even underpaid teenagers are forced to work at Subway.

And those "fat and salt laden, mass produced, artificially flavored sandwiches" might actually be good for your health and conducive to weight loss.

You don't lose weight by what you eat, you lose weight by what you don't eat.

You, obviously did not read the article, and Jared Fogel, obviously never listened to Michele (Cellulite Queen) Obama.

Because it's cheaper if America doesn't have health care. Let them die in the streets.

Most people would rather have a job than expensive insurance they do not need.

By the way, if you had actually listened to what he said you would see that he is talking about a lot more than Obamacare.

Nothing is more pathetic than the sight and sound of the super-rich complaining.

Like the gigolo John Kerry, formerly United States Senator, now Secretary of State, recipient of the Purple Heart for self-inflicted wounds, complaining about mooring his wife yacht in another state, because his home state would charge him more????

 

[Quantum Windbag]

yes there should be no regulations. Take a look at china. The middle class there is purely and overtly oppressed and the air is toxic. Yes lets look at their model.

Only a complete idiot would ever try to argue that there are no regulations in China. They have more regulations than we do, and the result is exactly the thing you are worried about happening if we get rid of regulations. I bet you are one of the people that think the 1950s was the golden era for the middle class on top of everything else, yet they had a lot fewer regulations back then.

I really doubt that most of the world's wealthy nations envy our healthcare system and it's costs, nor do they envy American's addiction to unhealthy fast food (which contributes to the high cost of the US's healthcare).!

When you have several hundred restaurants world wide, your name (the name of your business, to be exact) is well known. You can easily expand from 1200 to 2000, because people everywhere in the world know who you are and what your product is, regulations, or no regulations.

On the other hand, when you are just starting out and you are unknown to everyone except your parents, wife and kids you have nowhere to go if you are strangled by business killing Obama regulations.

That is his point.

There are enough patients from those wealthy nations who come to the United States for health care when they can't find it in their own country.

I don't know much about the eating habits of wealthy nations like Brunei, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain, but I can safely say that the fat and sugar content of foods made in wealthy Europe and wealthy America is different ONLY that foods in America are inspected for quality, while in Europe they serve horse meat pretending it's beef.

There is no such thing as "unhealthy food". Grammatically, the do-gooders should know that the words 'healthy" and "unhealthy" refer to PEOPLE; describing food with the same intention should be "wholesome" or "unwholesome".

Nutritionally, only not adhering to moderation is bad for you.

OMG the drama queens are running in pairs now. How did we ever survive the first 150 years, or over the centuries for that matter without regulations?

The truth is, many didn't survive. That's why we have child labor laws and safety regulations.

You have some serious issues to be so willfully blind.

No that isn't the truth. In those days many parents had the choice of putting their children to work or watching them starve to death. We have child labor laws because unions didn't want to compete with child labor. It has nothing to with concern about children.

Lief was not as good in those days as it is now because the productivity of labor was much lower. They had inferior technology and a lot less capital invested per person. Things improved because of technological improvements and an increase in the stock of capital. It had nothing to do with government social programs or child labor laws.

Wait.....are you arguing FOR child labor being a good thing?

For treating certain types of cancer, yes, the US is the best in the world, but overall, the US isn't the best in the world. Also, the doctors per capita in the US ranks as mediocre. But regarding the cost,,well we're "Number 1" by almost double.

"There is no such thing as "unhealthy food". Grammatically, the do-gooders should know that the words 'healthy" and "unhealthy" refer to PEOPLE; describing food with the same intention should be "wholesome" or "unwholesome"." Tell that theory to your doctor, facts just don't back that up.

Oh and ,,,,,,please note the first definition of "unhealthy".

And what are the Obama regulations that kill a guy starting a sub shop today?
