Papa John's Obamacare Stance Costs Company Its Reputation: Study

72. In that case, the OP headline is misleading

I assume they surveyed only 0.0000000000000001% of the population. It isn't plausible that reading that quote to the survey respondents would cause a significant change in attitude towards Papa Johns.

It sounds like the actual finding is "Survey finds most people don't like businesses that try to thrust themselves into the middle of a national political debate"

And I would agree with that up to a point. I certainly think it is fair game for a company to promote green things they are doing. And a gun shop certainly has the right to put its 2nd Amendment position out in front of customers. Those things are relevant to the businesses. I think the issue is when somebody like Trump, Papa Johns or Denny's uses their position of power to threaten Americans, particularly where they have no particular expertise on or connection to the issue. In both the cases of Denny's and papa Johns, these people were not experts on health care and in fact were not very affected by the ACA because most of their employees were already part time, and most of their franchisees are small enough to not be heavily impacted by the ACA's provisions.
