This is a good move on BKs part because McDonalds has really stepped up their game with their Mccafe coffee. Not quite as tasty as Tim's but it works well when there is no Tim's to be found. If Bk can't compete with Mc Ds French fry, maybe coffee will give them the edge thy need.

I agree. BK's profits will take off if they incorporate Tim's into their businesses, I think.

Warren Buffett, Burger King And The Big Money Behind Inversion Deals

The inversion deal wave that has seen American companies purchase foreign companies and reincorporate outside the U.S. to lower taxes has been to a large degree fueled by Wall Street and prominent money mangers. Now, the biggest money man of them all is backing the Burger King Worldwide BKW -3.49% effort to buy Canada’s Tim Hortons doughnut chain and redomicile north of the border.

Warren Buffet’s decision to finance Burger King’s inversion transaction, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, is just the latest example of a prominent billionaire investor backing such a deal. In fact, the Burger King inversion deal is being driven by Jorge Paulo Lemann, Brazil’s richest man and co-founder of 3G Capital, the private equity firm that holds a majority stake in Burger King.

Yup. Joe Biden is the best life insurance policy Obama could have. Even the most racist radical nutcase has to be praying for Obama's safety with Biden as the alternative waiting in the wings.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Actually that's very serious. We charge them a ton of Corporate tax. We encourage them to leave.

The only minimum wage jobs that were lost were those belonging to the Mexican janitors that clean the corporate building after hours.
