No More Twinkies for You! Hostess Going Out of Business

[Natural Citizen]

Homeland Security Partnership Council, is a public-private partnership that basically merges the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with local governments and the private sector for the implied purpose of giving the Executive Branch complete and limitless control over the American people. President signed the executive order while everyone was watching the weather last month.

Just didn't know where else to post it so...this was close enough.

Will looking for Twinkies resort to something similar in this video?

They don't taste as good as they used to. I don't know if they changed, or my tastes changed, or both.

But here we are, admitting that we haven't had any in years, while speculating why the company failed. Duh.

That had occurred to me!

I figured the taste changed, they've been in financial trouble for quite a while.

Legalizing marijuana and discontinuing twinkies seems counterintuitive for Washington ...

 

[123tim]

at least it wasn't the government that force them out of business

Or worse yet, offered a bailout to keep them in business.

Another company will buy the twinkie brand and they'll be made again... just not by hostess.

Twinkies may give us the runs
Bernanke has just ordered tons
His printing is peaking
So now he is seeking
A new recipe for sore buns

I bought 61 boxes from 5 different stores the morning the news came in saying Hostess shut down. PM me if you want to buy your stake in America's golden icon I've already sold several but I'm in no rush to give these away.

Excuse me. Maybe I'm wrong but wasn't this bankruptcy due to the union? If so, doesn't the bankruptcy free the company from Union constraints? The new owners will have buildings and equipment to make twinkies .... So won't they make twinkies? I haven't heard this is a liquidation of the company assets.

I think the Hostess name is considered an asset, so it's probably going to be sold as such.

I so hope the names Hostess and Twinkie get bought by and used by a non-unionized company that goes on to be very successful.

Spot on, that is exactly right.

If Hostess was being reorganized through a Chapter 11 bankruptcy restructuring (as it has done twice in the last ten years), the reason for that particular type of bankruptcy would not (and did not then, either time) free the company from union constraints. Those constraints stand to be completely destroyed now, however, because there will be no new owner of the "Hostess" brand. This time, the owners of Hostess are seeking to liquidate assets entirely, and go completely out of business. The new owners of those assets (e.g., Twinkies) would be completely different companies. They may or may not have anything whatsoever to do with any unions, but prior union constraints are not, and cannot be, tied to the assets--because they don't belong, in any sense of the word, to any unions or their members. The particular unions that did once have a strangehold on Hostess will be left without a Hostess pot to piss in, or a Hostess window to throw it out of.
