Technology is killing off independent pizzerias in the United States at the rate of roughly 2,549 locations per year (in 2015 alone).

Good post.
I enjoyed it.
I’m tired of the primary p*ssing contest.

Good post! Welcome back, have some fun. The rest of the nonsense we really have no control over so why worry about it?

When I post on the Trump or Cruz threads my perspective is that of an observer who happens to have some political experience in his back pocket. I don't take any of the flak that comes my way as a result seriously. How could I? Everyone is just pixels on my monitor!

Have a great weekend!

Thanks for the encouragement, I do appreciate it. Have a wonderful weekend and I hope you have a chance to enjoy a wonderful pizza! ;-)

Here is another little something to think about, I am a new customer of Door to Door organics. They deliver fruits and vegetables. Obviously, since it is winter in Michigan, the available fruits are limited. However, Mangos are always available!

Think of that! I can get a FRESH Mango, that originates in Thailand (or some other asian country) delivered to my door for just a couple of dollars! What a miracle of capitalism!

I doubt there is a very vibrant mango market in Venezuala! ;-)

I also wonder the % of independent pizza joints that actually don’t have folks working off the books.
