JACK has $1.7 billion in debt. That's a bummer.

Business seems OK if not for the debt. Their restaurant level EBITDA is 20%+. But the debt interest is probably sucking up all the free cash flows.

OT is this is what we have to look forward to? I walk into a convenience store. I ask the manager how much donuts are . he says right now they are full price. I ask how much is that? he say $1.29. I walk to the soda dispenser to purchase as drink of a size where there is a sign that says $1.19. I go to the counter to pay. I tell the clerk I want the soda and a donut too. He says that will be $2.99. I say how is that possible? he says the soda is $1.29 and the donut is $1.59 now. I guess the price of sugar must have gone up suddenly, Right before that I was in a supermarket at the deli counter and it had a sign advertising their chicken pot pie. I asked if they had any today? the clerk said nope. I said what days do they have them? he said almost never, because they dont have time to make them and its an old sign.
