The real culprit here is Equal Access to Education, as in Mothers (aka Women) not letting their kids eat twinkies anymore, thus reducing Twinkie's marketshare. Once again, educating women is shown to be anti-capitalistic and thus un-American. Damn those liberal intellectual elitists!
Think again. It's the same thing happening at many businesses in the US, an extremely anti-business climate by this administration in favor of government jobs over private sector jobs. In the REAL world, employers sometimes decrease pay and/or benefits during hard times, it saves jobs. But unions have never understood this, demanding entitlement they think they deserve, which goes against any form of basic business accounting.
With what's coming, with what even the markets are showing as they do this slow-crash/hard-adjustment since the results of this fraudulent election, they are probably better off de-investing and taking their losses now rather than later. They can downscale, which is nothing new to business, or be forced by the unions to go out of business. Looks like the employees would rather just take unemployment benefits from the government, so much easier than working. |

Well as the company fails, the government can always step in [again], buy it all up and hand it all over to the union using taxpayer money (debt for the great-great-grandchildren to pay). Then the government can mandate change, start using organic healthy ingredients, green energy, environmental friendly packaging (e.g. moss/algae formula), reducing greenhouse emissions. Then they can sell a few boxes to maybe Europe before needing another bailout. |

Yeah... ding dongs, too  I loved those when I was a kid and still eat them once in a while. Here's the thing, I could eat one or two and feel satisfied, no need for more junk food. I wasn't a fat kid, and being decades ago there were just very few fat kids. You can say whatever you want about some silly idea that parents know better now or whatever, but kids now are FAT!! And it's not from twinkies or ding dongs, it's all this new junk that just makes you want to eat more and more, never satisfied. |

qft and they too will probably take pay and benefit cuts along with layoffs while drawing on outsourcing from 3rd world nations that pay children 82 cents on 16 hour days.

Boo, and I wish there were an unlike button. A Fantasy Reality. You have absolutely no idea what it is like to be poor.
That should happen to you for an uncontrollable reason, and then we will see how your posts read.
Are you even human ?
Ah class warfare, eh? Way to post!
Actually, I've not only run a service business, but worked for a business for about a decade. I started out at minimum wage, and that was way below this $7-$8/hr bs now. In the time that I was there, not only did I manage to pull the highest raises due to work performance (I worked hard), but I worked my way into positional promotions, winding up being the top paid hourly wage employee at a company of over 1000 employees.
The company went through hard times, laid off some people, wages decreased, benefits cut (that's where I took the hit, was fine with me, I understood), and we all got our 401k's wiped out.
If I were working a government job, nothing would have changed. Here in the US, they even had post office workers literally assigned to empty back rooms doing absolutely nothing every day, required to do nothing, because they weren't allowed to take cuts or be laid off.
Part of this hostess thing, delivery trucks cant transport both wonder bread and twinkies in the same vehicle, this due to agreements with the unions. Meanwhile union workers complain the cuts are almost "like" working minimum wage, so now they can eat their pride I guess.
Now, am I human? way to troll!
Some say I'm part of an advance android invasion party from the planet X |

The point is that everyone's life is absolutely different, and under a plethora of circumstances.
Your experience is not necessarily universal nor does it imply that by any means.
Neither is anyone's.
Actually it does apply since you pulled the class warfare card and assumed that I have never gone through any such experience. Actually more than once, but really none of your business. As for any difference, purely economical, not union as is the case here. So it's really not circumstances as you seem to make it out to be, but that they brought it upon themselves by bringing the unions in. I just stay away from unions, easy as that. And now I sit back an laugh as as the unions fight each other over the carcass of the economy they help to wreck; teamsters vs. bakers in this case, over the corpse of an American icon, maybe we'll see them beat each other up like in the good old days. |

Teamsters union which had agreed to a deal, offered to assist in whatever way needed. I'm mostly waiting for Al Capone to open the meeting with a baseball bat heh.
m'kay?

Quite possibly Bimbo might buy it. Half the bakery junk food at my local supermarket is made in Mexico. |

I live in San Fran and obtain legally along with everyone else and NOBODY I know has eaten a Twinkie in years. At least 20 years for me tbh, so.........no.
Cheetos maybe, but not Twinkies. Too sweet. Doughnuts are better.
Of course they don't eat Twinkies in SF, people are too obsessed with walking around the city naked. Donuts make perfect sense, they like have handles but nekid peeps don't need to use their hands to carry them
