Good Bye Twinkie

Mayor
Today Hostess Brands announced it will close forever, you remember Hostess they make baked goods like the Twinkie, and Ding Dongs who doesn't like those. An estimated 18 thousand workers will loose their jobs. But this is just a pittance compared to the number that have been laid off since the Obummer reelection victory lap. Here are just a few of the companies that have announced massive lay offs or plant closures since Obummer has been reelected. Boeing Aircraft announced a 30% cut in it's mid management work force citing increased costs due to Obummer Care. 240 coal mines nation wide have been closed this past week laying off thousands of workers, why? Because of Obummer's war on coal. Hamilton Sunstrand, Nextel, U.S. Cellular, Verizon, Pratt Whitney, TE Connectivity, RIM, Harper Collins, Applebys Restaurant Chain, MN Dairy Co, Vestas, Hawker- Beechcraft, Anniston, Murray Energy, Wal-Mart and the list goes on and on, most have cited increased heath care costs citing Obummer care and an uncertain economic outlook to blame for these massive lay offs. Expert economists predict this is only the beginning that it will get much much worse before 2014 when Obummer care actually raids your bank account. Yep, they say we are gonna be looking at a 17 % unemployment rate before 2014. Economists say by 2016 the unemployment rate will be around 50 % and climbing. These companies and businesses are not stupid they feel and see the real effects of the Obummer economic policies and political agenda. I just hope that you do not become a victim of something you had absolutely no control over and that something is Obummer.
 
But but.....Degs says that Obama never passed any regulations that affect business in a negative way. Apparently these evil capitalists all hate Obama and are taking it out on their workers.

Damned republicans.
 
Meanwhile, corporate profits remain at record levels, the wealth gap gets wider and wider by the day, with more and more wealth being concentrated at the top, leading Pugs to call for more tax breaks for the wealthy and big business, less union rights, no minimum wage hikes, and a slashing of SS and Medicare.

Helloooooo?

Several years ago, on one of my economics tests on Supply & Demand analysis, I had a question concerning equilibrium in the market for Twinkies. I had a delightful young foreign exchange student from South Korea. She had no idea what a Twinkie was. She told me she thought that in English, Twinkie meant "a very stupid person".

I think you are a Twinkie.

Look, I'm an economist. And I know of NO economists, not a SINGLE one, ANYWHERE, who is predicting that "by 2016 the unemployment rate will be around 50% and climbing". NONE. You are just a bullshit artist. You make these wildly outlandish claims, but NEVER provide a link to justify them. We know why that is. It is because you just come online and make this kind of wild shit up.
 
indeed, they might as well be NC's siamese twin.

you guys should all be cited for picking on the slow children
 
Meh.. Hostess was closing these plants anyway. They could have opted not to and instead to settle with the unions they decided not to that's the free market for labor at work

And there is no war on coal. Coal just costs more than gas with all the fac-extraction going on. Sucks to be a coal producer but that's the free market at work

I may be a Twinkie, but at least I am not a far far left wing progressive socialist communist liberal radical fool.

By the way try reading a new book that is out, that is if you can read the title of the book is ," Aftershock" it is written by three economic experts and it goes into detail about why the unemployment rate will be at 50% in 2016 as well as some other factors that may change your mind about making stupid comments like the ones you continue to make because you have no clue what you are talking about, you and many like you blindly follow and seem to believe Obummer what you have not seemed to grasp yet is that what he says is most often not at all what he does.

That statement is absolutely false, it was hundreds of new regulations imposed by the EPA that have been cited that drove up the price of coal, so try telling the truth for a change.

HINT : Degs says a lot of stuff and that is just what it is stuff. The kind of stuff that normally stinks and you would rather avoid.
 
and as you can see, the poor thing had no defense, just what you'd expect outta those cited "Am not!"

The nottom long has been and will remain, that there is no getting around, under, over, or through the level of dishonesty and stupidity this type brings to the table, just providing encouragement for continuing it, because trying to yank chains is the only thing they know.
 
The employment rates are more likely to be affected by productivity gains, technology, demand, foreign markets and either the paydown of debt or increased debt by individuals. Whether or not the owners of Hostess decide to proceed is a function of their decision to invest in the future or liquidate and take gains or capital out of the company in a bankruptcy. I would like to know more about the debts Hostess incurred prior to this decision and how these debts affected the long term outlook of the company before I blame the unions. I heard one argument that twinkies were over priced relative to competitive junk food. If the aim of that industry is to produce the lowest cost food regardless of the quality of the product then that industry is doomed. People are making rational decisions about the type of food they eat and foods like Twinkies are bound to be less attractive as time goes on. Blaming this on the COGs of the product rather than the product and the market is missing the mark IMHO.
