Subject: Notes on the downfall of the Twinkie

A lot of people seem confused about this. Let me give you some facts.

Hostess went bankrupt in 2004, and the only way it was able to survive was when the workers accepted drastic pay cuts.

The CEO gave himself a bonus after the workers accepted these cuts. He also took giving himself a pay cut off the table when negotiating with the union in 2012.

The management team was inept. They didn't conform to 21st century business practices that would keep the company afloat.

In short, it was the management's fault you don't have Twinkies, not the union's.

Agree?

Some things in this World you just can't explain; but that doesn't mean they are any less true, just that you have to chose to believe in them.

What does that mean? I'm not too hip on modern slang.

"Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bull-blam!-, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you."-Lemmy of Motorhead

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

Yeah, people think we advanced so far in ethical practices, but we've basically just changed what it's called.

We're not in a recession, we're in a depression, Hostess was corrupt, not vulnerable.

Somebody showed me the Scarab Gun in Halo 2 once.
I was like WHOA DUDE, WHOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAA
Then I sorta blanked out in a red haze and when I came to, everyone was dead.

Uh... who cares? Twinkies are disgusting, their nonexistence means nothing to me.
