18,000 workers just lost a job Hostess just called it they will shut down

Yeah, wouldn't want the assembly line scrubs making a decent wage, eh fuckstick?

What's wrong with leveling the playing field? That's what the unions try to do. Do you want rampant, unchecked corporate CEOs?

What if a government were run the same way --- unchecked?

fucking

Lying however seems to be a skill they have mastered.

Do you know how much the CEO of Hostess earns?

Driscoll was the previous CEO before new CEO Gregory Rayburn.

"In early February, Hostess had asked the bankruptcy judge to approve a sweet new employment deal for Driscoll. Its terms guaranteed him a base annual salary of $1.5 million, plus cash incentives and "long-term incentive" compensation of up to $2 million. If Hostess liquidated or Driscoll were fired without cause, he'd still get severance pay of $1.95 million as long as he honored a noncompete agreement."

I am in the middle here. Unions are greedy and corrupt and management wants their workers living like they do in china. There's got to be some middle ground here, folks.

Hey dumbass, go get a business degree, work your ass off for 20 years, have limited time for friends and family (because you're working your ass off) and become an expert in a business. Then, you too might have a shot at becoming a CEO as well. Until then, stop your crying. Senior leaders are usually the best in their game and make this kind of money for a reason! By the way, have you ever looked at what your wonderful union leaership makes?

From the Harvard Economic Research Project 1948:

When subject citizens are rendered unable to control their financial affairs, they of course become totally enslaved, a source of cheap labor.

The general rule is that there is profit in confusion; the more confusion the more profit. Therefore, the best approach is to create problems and then offer solutions.

The primary reason why the individual citizen of a country create political structure is a subconcious wish or desire to perpetuate their own dependancy relationship of childhood. Simply put, they want a human God to eliminate all risk from their lives, pat them on the head, kiss their bruises, put a chicken on every dinner table, clothe their bodies, tuck them into bed at night and tell them everything is going to be alright when they wake in the morning. This public demand is incredible, so the human God, the politician, meets incredibility with incredibility by promising the world and delivering nothing. So who's the bigger liar? The Public or the Godfather


They have had it figured out for a long time!
