Liberals have made it too expensive to build and sell a cheap sandwich.
Signs posted at Subway sandwich shops sadly inform San Francisco patrons — we hear Willie Brown is a big fan — that “all SUBWAY Restaurants in SF County DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN Subway National $5.00 Promotions,” according to the newspaper.
Customers can still buy the sub of the month for $5, according to an employee at Subway on Market and Castro streets.
Apparently, the city’s new minimum wage, raised to $10.24 as of Jan. 1, make $5 footlongs an impossible business model.
If we ever needed a clear and understandable example of how liberalism hurts average people trying to defy basic economics, this may be it. Empower liberals and they find creative ways to pick pockets and create deprivation.
Too bad for San Franciscans. The $5 selection is good and the theme song is pretty catchy. I’m partial to the spicy Italian on the herb & cheese bread, toasted, with pepper jack and veggies.
Heh, like that one too, but with provolone.
An excellent post. I was already to be upset at how liberalism has become conflated with communism. But no.
As a liberal I can understand the principal, I dont want to live well and someone serving me has to starve. And I know there is an economic price to pay and there it is.
This is very distinct from say Global warming malarkey, and the gratuitous destruction of businesses that also employ poor people.
Sadly since there is no real liberal party, the republicans have had to serve both real liberals and the green eye shade conservatives needed to keep them in check. What a shame.

Really? Why? Btw, Fascism too.
p.s. I prefer the chicken teriyaki.
– let Zombie cover this?
Zombie only eats brains. And given he’s in SF he’s starving.
If you’ve ever seen the jungle-haunted ruins of Tikal you can imagine how they committed suicide. Why not just put out an ad that says, “Give us your weak, your troubled, so they can smother us.”
Along with that $5 “not” sammie, you get to watch junkies, tweekers, dopers, & rampant public urination & defication on those streets of San Fransicko. Enjoy your lunch.
