Trumps Labor Secretary Pick: I Like Beautiful Women Eating Burgers In Bikinis

[kpete]

Andy Puzder heads Carl’s Jr., maker of burgers and soft-porn TV commercials. His job is to protect women’s rights at work.


Puzder, CEO of the company that operates burger chains Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s, has been outspoken on a few issues. He doesn’t want to raise the minimum wage. He really dislikes Obamacare.

..................

“I like our ads. I like beautiful women eating burgers in bikinis. I think it’s very American,” Puzder told Entrepreneur last year. “I used to hear, brands take on the personality of the CEO. And I rarely thought that was true, but I think this one, in this case, it kind of did take on my personality.”

..................

Part of Puzder’s job as labor secretary would include protecting women’s rights in the workplace. He would oversee the Labor Department’s Women’s Bureau, which advocates for equal pay and offers resources for women discriminated against at work.

In Puzder’s world, the Women’s Bureau is the name of a “breastaurant” that serves high-end burgers.

1. Carl's Jr

is a deplorable company. Not just for their womanizing ads. Their in house lawyers threaten their employees and buy off other lawyers to avoid paying anything, ever, to the many customers who have been seriously hurt on their properties.

Oh, the hell we'll pay. Fuck.

2. And Carl himself was a Klansman.

Per the beginning of Fast Food Nation. Nice corporate culture.

3. He must be taking his cues from Family Guy?

4. So do I! Where's my cabinet position?

For six figures, I will serve as "Secretary of Making Sure the Orange Shitweasel Never Runs Out of Spray Tan".

5. Boycott.

6. Are all these fast food and heart inducing restaurant chains run by fucking evil wastrels?

McDonalds, KFC, Carl's, Wendy's, In and Out Burger. . .this is why I buy at local chains or will sit and wait at local places for a burger.

Agent Orange will destroy this country. And in an odd, sadistic way, I sort hope he does. I hope those that voted for him howl this time next year when all his ideas are railroaded through Congress.

I am so glad I am not there, have no children there and don't really have ties there anymore, except through my employer, but since our subsidiary is based in Asia, I don't need to go back much except to visit.

As much as China is an authoritarian nut house, I'll take it over Trumpland.

Liberals tend to have more indie type businesses.
