If I were Papa John (or hell, Mitt Romney), I'd be investing in very large numbers of armed guards.  Soon, before the demon I had created turned to rend me.



That's assuming that Americans are actually willing to get off their asses and DO something.

Occupy was a failed attempt, for many reasons.  I doubt the next go-round will be quite as civil.

When enough of them have to sit there and watch their kids starve because they made a little too much during the LAST quarter to qualify for food stamps (even though they're in THIS quarter and it's realllllll slooooooow) and they can't ask the food pantry for expired pastries and canned green beans because it's only been a week since they went there last and you can only go once a month, I like to think at least a FEW of them will decide to rock out.

The entire concept, after the first week, was crap.

Occupy? Yeah. Gathering the hipster and "freethinker" tribes.

One of the really glaring things was how people presented themselves. With that sort of protest you want to make sure that you don't look like a bunch of smelly hippies, but rather, respectable members of society. Things like that matter. And as soon as people started acting like smelly hippies and looking like smelly hippies, the GOP meme machine went to work with those photos.

Roger, you're sound fairly certain about thing falling apart when we miss the deadline.  how do you see it going down?

personally, it sounded stupid to me when they created the 'sequester' thing because they can't really create an internal threat that they cannot uncreate, which is exactly what i expect.

I'm not talking about the fiscal cliff.  I'm talking about all of Europe shitting on the same day.

France going belly up in about 2 months.  The entire Southern end of Europe, plus the Med, go with it.

Germany will be fine, I am told, as they are fat and sassy on the proceeds of raping Southern Europe.

Naw, but I could find some.  I learned of this a week ago at our annual strategy overview, conducted by our CEO and his hatchet man.  The information IS probably out there.  I just got it in one neat package presented with no real agenda (other than the hatchet man getting to do a little "Muhaha!" Jeremy Irons evil dance).

So, your company has information that France is going to crap out and i suppose you guys have some buyers over there that you anticipate won't be buying as much...
interesting.
is the industrial chem sector in general looking bleak, or is it just certain product lines which you guys happen to produce? (from what you've gleaned)

(i know the defense industry is currently on bated breath with the sequester thing looming, which although i currently work in it, doesn't bother me a lick)

Nope.  But a couple of our competitors on the chemical side are gonna capsize and then get eaten by us and our other competitors.  Sort of like what happens when one shark gets injured in a mass attack.

AVAST, YE SCURVY CORPORATIONS!  PREPARE TO BE BOARDED!

You're not hearing me.  "Belly up".  Not restricted to our company's prospects at all.  I mean in general.  Our money geeks are already calling November of 2008 "the precursor".

i was speaking more specifically to your business wrt france...

but yeah... if you listen intently you can hear the chattering laughter of the gnomes of zurich as they place the final charges on the support beams of the caverns they have dug beneath all of us.  they've been laughing a good while, but it's reaching a crescendo.
