the News-Press has dredged up an old story and put it on the front page..for anti-California political purposes of course...and that story is about Carl's Jr and the CEO of CKE Restaurants Andrew Puzder..the gist is CKE is based in Carpinteria, but has been threatening to move to Texas to escape regulations....please take the News-Press with you...
I've covered this before but it's worth mentioning again: the reason for Carl's Jr poor sales is competition...the other burger companies are simply better than Carl's Jr..years ago I enjoyed a meal there..fried zuchinni and a chicken sandwich was very good..since Puzder took over, the company has declined..stupid ads, bad food, and overpriced...
look, the guy is a moron...and here's proof....when you think of Carl's Jr, what comes to mind...NOTHING!! when you think of Burger King, you think of the Whopper; McDonald's, you got the the Big Mac; Jack in the Box, I got the Jumbo Jack right here..brand recognition!! the other guys are better business people, that's all....
Puzder is another example of an overpaid CEO running a business into the ground and blaming others..and to use Texas as a model of a good business environment is simply dishonest...a real look at the Texas will show a state that is being run by fools....Gov Rick Perry recently declared "three days of prayer for rain" in drought stricken Texas!
from Thomas Elias:
And after hiding the truth for more than a year, Texas state government now admits to a two-year budget deficit of $25.5 billion, similar to California's shortfall on a per-capita basis.
The Texas budget gap comes to about 30 percent of the state budget; California's to less than one-fourth of recent yearly spending.
Things are so tough that ever-lax Texas has begun cracking down on Internet retailers, demanding they pay sales tax if they have a physical presence in the state. This caused Amazon.com to close its lone Texas warehouse, the retail giant griping about an "unfavorable business climate" — the same words Texans use while trying to lure California businesses.
The Texas troubles are largely driven by the "supply side" economic beliefs of Perry and other Republican leaders in that solidly "red" state, who have long been convinced their government could survive and thrive with the third-lowest tax rates in the nation, when levies on income, sales and property are combined. Lower taxes, they've argued, would lead to more business growth and more jobs, producing more actual tax dollars for the state budget than would higher rates....they were wrong...
California on the other hand has a fantastic environment....and yet some conservative business people are seeking Rick Perry's advice!! Perry keeps coming to California to try to get California businesses to move to Texas..well, you can have Carl's Jr and take the Putzner with you...which hopefully will be the final nail in the coffin for the bad burger!!

News-Press school of journalism: start with an agenda favored by Wendy McMoustache, pursue 'facts' to support said agenda, get a gold star from news czar don the REALTOR®/party planner as von creepleton shakes his flabby white ass in delight. why didn't the reporter who covered the carls jr story test the ceo's premise? because the n-p doesn't employ reporters, they hire pr account managers whose credibility has been usurped by team wendy. thanks for reading that shit shingle each day for us mick. i couldn't bear to do it myself.
it's a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it!
