Twinkies Extinct

And they said they would survive a nuclear blast.  HA!  Anti-labor business people want to paint the picture that union demands were the demise of Hostess.  Slow down as it's not that simple.  It's like trying to blame air travel for the demise of rail travel.  Technology and tastes have changed. 

Hostess is latest statistic of an antiquated business trying to survive in today's world.  Way back when the Hostess business model was created unions proliferated in private enterprises.  Americans were not obese.  The Bored Moms on Prozac Committee had not yet been established to ban sugar in the classrooms.  Twinkies actually tasted pretty darned good and had not yet been cheapened to taste like chemical waste by-products. 

Hostess tried to survive as a viable business, but producing sugary toxins was doomed to eventual economic failure.  Unions could have cut their wages and benefits to nothing and slumping sales would have done Hostess in. 

Still, it's unfortunate that so many will lose their jobs.  However, the purpose of a labor union is not to guarantee jobs that are obsolete and to coddle the otherwise unemployable. 

Are we figuring it out yet?
