OT----Still "and you thought that this discussion is over ...." I dont know, think it warrants a new thread? ;-) "THE PIZZA DISCUSSION" "I am the one that is sticking up for pizza operators." No you were the one that was claiming that they were not making as much because YOU see their costs going up and prices staying the same. I said You dont know anything about Pizza shops. YOu have know Idea whether the stores are more profitable or not. You degragated the profession of Pizza owners everywhere by intimating that you THOUGHT they ought to take some actions to protect against losses that YOU thought they were suffering. I think they know more then you and that you ought to leave them alone. "My analogy (even if poor) to General Motors was not "the economic truth" i was referring to." We agree. It was used as an analogy for an analogy that I thought was wrong (or uninformed) "The economic truth is this: When costs increase while the price of final product stays the same, gross margin goes down." unless "Of course this assumes that productivity does not increase and that the quality of the product is not compromised." (or some other circumstances) so the rule is (the economic truth?) true UNLESS it is not true. HMMM.......cant make much dough on that rule
