    They weren't on an assembly line, they were the bakers.

    It is a skill. Granted Wal-Mart is trying to change all that.

    I am willing to listen to arguments that the old, industrial style unions are not the way we are going to solve problems in todays day and age, if only because the nature of jobs is changing.

    But twinkies will be on the shelf, the CEOs will all get a nice bonus and 20,000 people will be out of a job because they had the audacity to ask for healthcare.

    I would also like to point out that the company was leveraged and sucked dry by Ripplewood holdings in 2004. This laid the groundwork for what we see today. The company has been begging for someone to take their brands for years and no one wood because of the union issue so the leverage buy out happened and Ripplewood ran the company into the ground, so now they have to close. How "convenient" for them.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
