Really depends on where you live. While chains are everywhere, in some parts of the country they're the only options. As far as pizza goes this is especially true in places where Italian immigrants didn't settle 100 years ago. In places with a history of Italian American immigrants there are usually a lot of local independent options in addition to chains. In places like that chains are often looked down upon.

Oh yeah. In the South and Midwest there wasn't a history of Italian immigrants (aside from Chicago and New Orleans). Most of them ended up in the Northeast, and a few went to California to make wine. So while people were eating pizza in places like NYC 100 years ago large chunks of the country didn't get introduced to pizza until the 1960's, by chains (particularly Pizza Hut, whose Putt Putt to the Pizza Hut ad ran on TV for eight years).

Seems like I'm the only person IN THE WORLD that legitimately likes Papa John's over Pizza Hut and Dominos. They're the only place whose pizza tastes like pizza and not just a pound of grease or low quality shit. Maybe it's because the other chains where I live suck so hard in comparison. Last week I tried Pizza Hut again, the pizza was paper thin, and the crust over compensated for that fact. It was terrible. As far as politics go, I don't give a fuck.

Yet the system we have now was pretty much set up with the idea employers would pay most of employee health insurance costs as part of the benefits of working someplace full time. Try being self-employed and look at what you pay for the shittiest plans you can get. You are right that it's retarded, but not because people expect to be able to have healthcare, but rather because it was set up to be employer funded and employers don't want to fund it anymore.

Companies and corporations spend most of their earnings in further investments and jobs to keep the ball rolling; just sitting on a pile of money and doing nothing with it is a cardinal sin that companies try to avoid (inflation is just the beginning of the problem of hoarding). A personal mansion >>11440425 is not even a significant fraction of what the company earns.

The big chain places are mostly what you do for quick lazy delivery on the cheap, and then do pickup or dine in at the fancier mom and pop places occasionally. Realistically though if the better places delivery and aren't priced too bad there is no good reason to even consider chains. Unfortunately many nicer places don't deliver and are pickup only.
