Bad management but lets blame the Union. America will buy it.
LOL bad management? The bad management was offering the union a seat on the board and a direct say in the management of the company and this union turned it down.
seems it wasn't just about a pay cut. Kind of a worst case scenario for everyone but the creditors as usual. The unions argument was about pension funding more than pay.
Geee... A LOT of the brands you talk about were OWNED by Hostess. They're gone, with a whole lotta jobs. Dolly Madison, Drakes, Wonder Bread... All gone.
I mentioned three + Hostess. That doesn't seem like a lot.
Oh Yeah... they ALSO did a lot of baking for many local.regional companies, which are now SOL. More jobs gone. Look at the wrappers of your favorites that say "Interstate Brands". Yep, was baked by Hostess... it's gone.
Again, the primary reason they're gone is people don't want what they're selling. Hostess was on the skids before the latest union/management dust up and the reasons for that aren't going away.
As far as jobs and what not; I welcome ex-Hostess employees to the real world that most people live in, with all it's uncertainties and challenges.
Weaning from the protective teat of Gov/Unions is difficult but I have faith they'll learn to stand/walk/run/thrive without it.
After 7 long years of flipping ones and zeros 24/7 I killed a 1GB stick. About to install my RMA replacement stick in the old server. Crucial came thru on the lifetime warranty and I had my replacement in one week. WTG Crucial, I expected the Kingston to fail first, but one painless RMA later and I'm all set
Yesterday my local station started with the all-day Christmas music, a week earlier than last year. (!)
It's how they fill the hole left by the lack of political ads.
and
I saw a black Christmas Tree at Walmart last night. I might be able to get behind that. I'd cover it in purple lights and celebrate a Very Bruised Christmas.
The same civilians who voted in Hamas when they were given a free vote on the subject? They don't sound so innocent to me.
The only reason Hamas is popular in Gaza is because they promised to kill more Jews than Fatah in the West Bank. Hamas would have free reign in Gaza if not for their incessant desire to exterminate the Jewish people. Gaza itself could be prosperous and peaceful, if Hamas would let it be, but it chooses not to.
Hamas also has no problem killing civilians. In fact, they want to kill as many civilians as possible. Hamas also hides its rocket launching facilities in dense population centers to deter this kind of response. Perhaps if these areas were leveled, then the remaining civilian might think twice about supporting a movement that is so hell-bent on exterminating the Jewish people that it is willing to sacrifice its own people to do it.
Why do you think Israel doesn't attack or invade Jordan or Saudi Arabia? It is because these countries do not attack Israel.
War is hell, and it is something that should be avoided, but when someone chooses to bring war to you, you have to decimate them, or else they will continue bringing war to you and killing your people. If the children of Gaza die because of this, so be it. All the terrorists in Gaza today all started out as children. Might as well nip the problem in the bud.
I just love turkey, but since it's just the 2 of us I never make a whole bird.
I'm going to be in Montreal for Turkey Day, but I'm going to make some sort of turkey dish for Xmas. My sister in law gave me a turkey breast in the crockpot recipe she swears by, and that sounds pretty good to me.
Not as good as your whole bird though, as I'm a dark meat fan, but it will suffice...
the US could not logically back Israel if they went on a civilian killing spree. Also if they carpet bombed Gaza City it would make them no different than Hamas.
That's not generally what happens. Hostess closes shop, they don't make their products, other products are purchased instead of Hostess products creating increased demand and other jobs. People don't start eating less junk food because one particular company closes up. The demand for junk food remains, they just buy other products instead.

Then why do we send so much aid to the Palestinians? And why is Israel always looked upon as the aggressor when it is Hamas, backed by Iran, that always is itching to start a fight?
And again, this is war. Perhaps if Hamas is so worried about its civilian population, then it should stop using them as human shields.
I would hardly consider listening to Christina, but I love that shes gained weight here. She looks so amazing and beautiful. Not like some anorexic crack whore. Pretty good video! Pretty sure she just killed Adam Levine in his car. lol
They have already been making concessions and been getting screwed over. They were tired of it, it's been going on for nearly 10 years.
I'm sure they hope someone will buy it and run a proper operation, but it maybe most of them are out of jobs. Still when you push people too far this is what happens.
