It would seem Hostess will be shutting down operations and going out of business, taking with it another 18,000 American jobs. There is a lot of propaganda out there in regards as to who is to blame. The neo-cons national socialists, of course, are blaming the soviet socialist unions for refusing to allow further pay cuts and benefit reductions for the workers. The soviet socialists, of course, are blaming the national socialists, saying Hostess has been bought up by investment bankers who want to make its facilities into sweatshops.
The truth, I would think, is that the international socialist insurgency at the top does not care whether the company is run by slave labor consisting of US workers or slave labor consisting of foreign workers, just so long as more wealth, hence political power, is removed from American nationals. And this is not taking the side of the unions because it can be added that the workers could have a lot more in an honest exchange of work for labor if they did not have to support the parasites in the power structure of the union.
There is a simple way to solve the problem of jobs in the United States, and that is to seize control of all of our natural resources and dictate that none can leave this country except in the form of fully manufactured goods. That means a table, not a board or a tree, or more on point, a Twinkie, not flour or grain.
It is through the distortion of reality that the majority of Americans believe it is their place in life to labor for others. If we could just realize who we are and enforce our will, we could, each and every one of us, be entrepreneurs. But that would require a free enterprise system, wherein we all have equal access to our share of our resources.
I’m sure there are those who would just simply spend their inheritance without creating anything, but I believe they are the exception, not the rule.
When American nationals are set free, they tend to do some pretty incredible things. Just look around you at this nation we live in. We built it and we excelled, and not because we did just what was necessary to survive. We are a nation of tinkers in the best interpretation of that word. That is to say, we enjoy creating and endeavor to create the best. When we were left alone to do so, we prospered.
The fact is our success was our undoing. We created an abundance of wealth, and as it seemed easy for us to do so, we did not put a high enough value on what we had created to protect it. Parasites from around the world descended upon us. At this point they have not only sucked up the surplus, but now want even that which we need just to exist.
It is not going to stop at Hostess. Those of you running down to grab some Twinkies as a souvenir don’t bother. The Twinkies are not going anywhere. The production may be moved to Mexico or China to be accomplished by slave labor, but the Twinkie will endure.
The answer to this conundrum would be simple if we could take back control of our resources. We would not boycott Hostess for the unions but rather an American entrepreneur or two or ten would come forth with a better Twinkie. And in the heat of the competition, the workers who produced the best Twinkie could demand, as individuals, top dollar for their work, and they would get it, because if they did not one of the other entrepreneurs looking to be the Twinkie King would pay it to them. This is how it is supposed to work. This is what has been lost via the corporate power monopolies and the unions.
Food for thought.
God bless the Republic, death to the international corporate mafia, we shall prevail.
My Fellow Americans:
As silly as this question may first appear,… think about it,… is there anything more American than a twinkie?
It just happens to be one of those sublime artifacts of American business, style and creative thinking.
It has been the hallmark of success and product recognition for decades,.. hell,.. even the Eskimos know what a twinkie is!
So,… how in the world could they possibly be shutting down????
Their answer: Excessive labor costs, excessive basic ingredients cost. (Notice how they don’t say anything about the sheer theft by gov’t in the form of burdensome taxes and regulations)
The Real Answer: Ingredient cost is the same for all manufactures (basically), and NONE of the laborers make an excessive paycheck. This is simply another step in the destruction of America by the banksters/gov’t.
Our gov’t doesn’t want ANY jobs here,… except the ones they authorize.
Remember: The best way to enslave a entire nation, is to be the sole provider of financial and material resources (…like food), hence the exponential growth of gov’t jobs and the Obama EBT Cards (food stamps),… and the exponential destruction of private sector jobs and the ability to be self supporting.
In the end,.. the twinkie will NOT disappear, but as Mr. Shivley predicts,… its center of manufacture will simply be moved to another country, hence no longer an American product.
When an American Icon like the twinkie has been killed,.. how far behind does anyone think the rest of America is?
Answer: Not far at all.
JD – US Marines – R.I.P.: Twinkie 1933 – 2012
Looks like a Mexican baking company,supposed largest in the world (Mexican billionaire), might be buying it. If that doesn’t chap your ass, nothing will. They’re probably going to have a new flavor now, jalapeno twinkies.
The point so often missed is that debt is self canceling, the money is created or printed ie. dollars, euros etc and lodged back into the system of dollars and euros. The banks take a legal charge as security but they also charge interest which has has not been printed and so it extracts real wealth. Over time the interest compounds and that is why when we were young the burden was small and each year it grows so that we move from one working person to two working persons per family and so on until all are unemployed.
That is the mathematics. The future is not bright.
I will write on the reset, this is the rebalancing of the system and you must prepare as the bank takes all.
Blatant outsourcing.
Never cared much for Twinkies.
I used to like the creme-filled cupcakes, and the fruit pies, but they’ve changed the recipe so many times over the years, those aren’t even any good anymore.
My sympathy goes out to those who lost their jobs, though.
I’m sorry, but every time I see or hear about a twinkie, the scene from Ghostbusters comes to my mind. And it is almost kinda fitting with today’s world, especially with the crazy sheeple in NYC. LOL
Dr. Egon Spengler: [about the storage facility] “Wow, its getting crowded in there and these readings point to something big on the horizon.”
Winston Zeddemore: “What do you mean big?”
Dr. Egon Spengler: “Well,”
[shows a twinkie]
Dr. Egon Spengler: “let’s say this twinkie represents all of the psycho kenetic energy in the New York area. According to this morning’s sample it will be a twinkie, 35 feet long and weighing approximately 600 pounds.”
[Ray coughs, in disbelief]
Winston Zeddemore: “That’s a big twinkie.”
Dr Ray Stantz: “We could on the verge of a four fold crossrept. A P.K.E. surge of incredible even dangerous proportions.”
Dr. Peter Venkman comes in…….
Dr. Peter Venkman: “What’s going on here?”
Winston Zeddemore to Dr. Egon Spengler: “Tell ’em about the twinkie.”
Dr. Peter Venkman [looking confused]: “What about the twinkie?”
