R.I.P. TWINKIES

[Sarek]

Yup. The real reason they went under has little to do with the unions, it's the fact that management couldn't come up with a profitable business plan, and ended up letting some hedge fund managers (like BAIN CAPITAL but not them) take over.

And the Bain-like hedge funders did what they do best: slashed jobs and costs and plundered all the cash from the company, leaving it to decay on the side of the road.

This is why it's a good thing Romney didn't win. The Death of the Twinkie is the cautionary tale that lets us know what would have been.

I've been arguing that exact position with a bunch of right wing morons all day long...

And now it turns out the bakers' union is back at the table, so the hedgehogs don't even have to continue their temper tantrum about liquidation...IN THEIR PANTS.

Great, the same losers who can't turn a profit still run the company, and the employees are now even closer to being part of the "working poor". EVERYBODY WINS!

I like it how curiousa2z makes some joke about Twinkies trying to take over Canada, I make a crack and get a neg over it.

 

[Dr Dave]

I AM LAUGHING AT THE DUDE THAT JUST BOUGHT A TRUCK LOAD OF TWINKIES. HA HA HA HA HA HA!
Although, we did consider putting on our sign-
Free Twinkies with Oil Change.
WTF It could work!
Better yet-
Free Oil Change with Price of Twinkies $34.95

 

[Dr Dave]

Why would he give them away?

 

[Mirah]

It would be a ploy to bring in customers for vehicle service and become life long customers!

 

[Dr Dave]

But then you'd be out twinkies!
