twinkie *pool of drool*

Twinkies rule! We still had them up here in Canada land, so I was very happy.

let me know when Zingers come back

I'm keeping my eye open for them too

*brofist*

WHERE DID YOU GET THIS? O.O

Man, oh man...I haven't had a Twinkie in forever. Someone mentioned Zingers...I miss those, too. ;_;

FINALLY!

TWINKIES!!! HERE I COME!!! *falls face first on it, eats it like a weirdo* om nom nom, nom om nom

mmm Had some of these couple weeks ago. Are the pink Snoballs back yet?

Not sure, it is possible, I saw a few other Hostess products on the shelves, but they're flying off the shelves fast too.

They didn't taste the same to me.. maybe my taste buds are more sensitive to taste but these new twinkies taste.... artificial.. I mean yeah they kinda always was but now it it just tastes too artificial.. >.o

God's mercy, he returned it

Where was that? I couldn't find any.

Well, yes, there were facsimiles produced by Little Debbie. Perhaps there was just a warehouse or something. Lincoln...never been there before, although I've considered it, or at least going through there on the train to St. Louis. I'm in Aurora myself.

Well, it's much better nowadays than it used to be. If you'd ever wish to visit, I'm sure that I could show you around.

I think that something could be done together, yes. Not entirely sure what...snow leopards aren't the most outwardly-sociable creatures, after all. But I'm sure something could be arranged.

Twinkies are back! Now we don't have to eat generic brand Twunkles! (Or Zagnut)

We started selling those at my store a few weeks back ;A;

I'm not quite sure what you mean about whiny unions, but there is an interesting article on the subject in Business Insider: http://www.businessinsider.com/labo.....s-wages-2013-8

I say whiny because the Union lately has grown notorious for going on strike, and demanding more pay for making dime-a-dozen products. These people don't think about the fact that if their pay gets increased, so does the price for the product they're making. If the price gets too high, people are going to look for a better deal elsewhere, and the company won't have any real money coming in, thus forcing them to let people go or shut down.

I say whiny again, because some people are so ungrateful for the simple fact that someone even hired their ass, and give them SOME money for their effort, rather than no money at all. Just because they can't make a couple more dollars or fed for life for making dime-a-dozen cream cakes at shit prices, they got to go and fuck it all up for everyone who is fine with working for minimum wage, and those poor people are forced to scrape the bottom of the barrel for a job, again, all because baby couldn't have his cake and eat it too.

In a nutshell, it's either job security, or higher wages, you can't insist on having both in the blue collar workforce.

Well, you would have a point, if what you are describing is what actually happened in this case. The union negotiated with the company in good faith, even agreeing to numerous concessions, while the company gave extremely generous bonuses to their executives, even as they mismanaged the company into the ground. Asking for your workers to accept lower wages while simultaneously giving raises to incompetent executives generally tends to rub them the wrong way, especially in light of the fact that, as elaborated in the article I provided you, the growth in corporate profit margins has greatly exceeded the growth in real (i.e. inflation-adjusted) wages over the last forty years. In fact, the article demonstrates how (again, adjusted for inflation) wages have actually remained stagnant during that time.

Confronted with a de facto example of negotiating in bad faith, the union employed the only recourse left, not to demand more pay, but to demand what they had previously been paid, even after offering concessions to help out the company.

Oh, and the minimum wage hasn't maintained progress with inflation since it was introduced, either.

"One of the eternal conflicts out of which life is made up is that between the effort of every man to get the most he can for his services, and that of society, disguised under the name of capital, to get his services for the least possible return."
-- Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. in Vegelahn v. Guntner, Massachusetts Supreme Court

"Strong, responsible unions are essential to industrial fair play. Without them the labor bargain is wholly one-sided. The parties to the labor contract must be nearly equal in strength if justice is to be worked out, and this means that the workers must be organized and that their organizations must be recognized by employers as a condition precedent to industrial peace."
-- United States Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis
