Well of Course Domino's Pizza Is Up.

I doubt that people are eating more pizza during this "economic downturn," but I imagine that they could be, if they are working more overtime or whatnot. But there are only three reasons one might eat Domino's pizza as opposed to another brand:

1) it's the closest pizza place to where one works;
2) it's the only pizza place that delivers and can figure out how to get to your house out in the middle of nowhere in Flintridge;
3) it's the cheapest pizza made that is still edible.

I suspect that factor (3) is the operational one, here.

Uh-oh.

When Boston is in danger of eliminating its income tax, things have indeed gone topsy-turvy.

Arnold . . . are you listening? There's this place called "Nevada," and it isn't very far away from here . . . you see where I'm going with this?

Stacy McCain on the Economy . . .

Aw, man:

Higher oil prices =
Higher transportation costs =
Less foreign competition!

Which means you'll pay more for damn near everything, but isn't that what you wanted? Higher prices, less efficiency, and all the other "benefits" of decreased international trade. And, hey, we didn't even have to increase tariffs to get it! Who says markets don't work?

Well, any phenomenon that keeps the darkest pockets of the developing world trapped in the bitterest of poverty can't be all bad now, can it?
