Puzder deserves no sympathy. He hired an illegal as a housekeeper. He claimed he had no idea she was illegal. That’s absurd. He’ll have a big ass CEO pension so he’s not going to be hurting. Get thee gone Liar.

I occasionally eat at Carl’s Jr. in the OC where the firm was headquarter and where the growth started.

I never see enough people on my visits, to justify keeping them open however.
