Quoting: Nikola Tesla The bottom line is Hostess had to close because of vulture capitalist asset strippers who wanted their money and insisted Hostess take it out of their employees hides. Sounds a bit like Greece to me. Austerity on the march being forced on businesses and government by banks. We can expect more of this shit going forward. Here is a link to the story. [link to willyloman.wordpress.com] The Union with their incessant demand for More and More entitlements finally hit the end of the road. The same future will await all those who want "More and More goodies" at someone else's expense. |

Union wages no more, only a bare minimum wage. And the owners of the company would be sent to concentration camps for being evil capitalists. Just to keep things in perspective |

Ralph--a house dog User ID: 25802009 United States 11/17/2012 03:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Looks to me like some Goldman Sachs offshoot venture capitalists started putting the squeeze on Hostess a while back, which led to company conflicts with unions. Now, neither side has anything left to give so it's shut down. Too bad; I really like Ho-hos.

wisc_natureboy User ID: 1524435 11/17/2012 03:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nice post OP. There is always more to the story than MSM and shills like A-J report. Many folks however, are too lazy to research things on their own. Or maybe some just really don't care about the truth and unwittingly become cheerleaders for the very fuckers who enslave us. We all breathe the same air. .-.. --- ...- . / .- .-.. .-.. |

Nikola Tesla (OP) User ID: 18230284 United States 11/17/2012 04:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Did anyone actually read the story at the link??? Quoting: Ralph--a house dog Looks to me like some Goldman Sachs offshoot venture capitalists started putting the squeeze on Hostess a while back, which led to company conflicts with unions. Now, neither side has anything left to give so it's shut down. Too bad; I really like Ho-hos. Thank you Ralph! It's reassuring to know that at least a House Dog bothered to read the article. The issue here is not what happened to Hostess and who is at fault. It is much more serious than that. The issue is that I will no longer be able to get Ho Ho's when I desperately want them! I still have one package of Ho Ho's. If you were here Ralph, I would share them with you! "One person with courage is a majority." - Thomas Jefferson "You’ve heard that we are what we eat.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 27388460 United States 11/17/2012 05:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The issue of the article is Hostess took out a loan? For what, would be the question.....to save their company? And the people who loaned Hostess money, wants to be repaid for their loan? I don't see how this lets the labor union off the hook. They had to make consessions to keep their jobs. They didn't want to ....so they lost their jobs. Hostess was trying to keep their jobs by taking out the loan to save the company....is the way I see it. |
