Yes, that is what predatory economics is, isn't it, "not seeing"
anything which gets in the way of profits ... the many pay the costs of
supporting the "special few."

Sometimes going after profits can actually hurt profits.

Here's an interesting link (It's Steve Jobs related - but I'd like to
see the book):

Which can be seen also in the history of Domino's Pizza and other companies
that cheapen their product in pursuit of profit only to end up losing
significant portions of their customer base due to an inferior product and
thus losing profits in the long run.

At least Dominos has figured that out and changed the substance on their
pizzas. I have tried one and it wasn't bad. I normally go to a small
pizza maker not far away who makes most excellent pizza and, no matter
what other pizzas (chain or single owner) I have tried I always go back
to him.

They are not real pizzas though.The orginal pizzas in Italy were very
different.

Yep, I have one like that in Manassas. Great pizza, a bit on the oily side,
but flavor that can't be beat and a decent price.

To coin an expression.....they make a sausage and pepperoni with extra
cheese that is to die for. Hmmmm, come to think of it, I believe most all
their pizzas come with extra cheese.
