No mo Twinkies or Ding Dongs (except in the trannie world)
This is completly absurd. Everyone knows that Obamacare is affordable and good for America. In addition, if it were not for the unions we would all be working in sweat shops.
This is an outrage America!! I demand Obama either force them to get back to work and make us twinkies or there will be hell to pay!! 😠

I can't believe the apathy on this sight. We all grew up eating twinkies!!
These greedy CEO's need to be made an example of. After all, the CEO"s are only in it for the money as where the exploited workers are only in it for the love of twinkie. Obama should buy up this company tomorrow and get those 18,000 workers back to work. It's the American way.
Then again, does he want to buy them up and deal with the unions?
Hmm?

All we can say is that capitalism no longer works. Won't you sign the petition?

Originally posted by sasquatch672As your good friend Bastiat would say: look at what is unseen, not just what is seen. People aren't going to stop snacking just because they can't buy Twinkies anymore. Hostess' competitors will gain market share and therefore there will be new jobs there. Not necessarily the same amount, but if the competitors can create the same amount of snacks with fewer people it would only be a good thing.
Guess I'll have to switch to Doritos.
You're being awfully quiet about this, though...could it be? Are you recognizing that pro-Labor policies now destroy jobs?

Yes, producing things is far more important than people being able to earn a livelihood in Ivory Tower Land.
