Well another company forced out of business by a stupid union that has out lived it's usefulness. How many more will they force out of business. It is time that you wake up and refuse to listen to the idiots in charge of the unions. Today all the want is your monthly or weekly dues money to buy those expensive foreign automobiles. The Toyota and other car companies from over seas work with out the unions and only make a little less then the ones that work for the big three. With no dues to pay they may even end up with more in there paychecks.

I have had ONE twinkle in my 57 years, how did it last this long? Maybe I better try it again, never know, maybe it was improved on. And the bread with the un mistakable bag! I 'barely' remember it...but it was good. 18,000 people laid off..hold on America, this is a 'drop in the bucket' of business's going under and people being unemployed and hungry..When we are ALL on foods stamps and assistance, HOW long will that last? WHO WILL FUND THOSE FREEBIES?. THE COUNTRY IS IN DEBT, IT HAS NO MONEY. HAIL TO YOUR CHIEF..you blind mice. Twinkies and Wonder bread were a success because it was 'affordable' to the working, middle class. how ironic... didn't see this coming. And Denny's, charging 5% more and everyone else laying off thousands for OBamacare..who could have known this was going to happen...who could have known....4 MORE YEARS!

mmm... 92% of your pay check or 0%. That's some tough math.
