Here's A Challenge For Rmoney & Trump - "Save The Twinkie".....

If they believe in keeping people in jobs - why don't they pool their money and buy Hostess and keep the 18,500 people employed and keep Hostess as a viable name in the market. They can save the company. Here is a chance for them to put their money where their mouths are.

They'll rip out the machinery and send it to China. They'll license the Chinese to make the baked treats, and they'll be filled with melamine and other poisons, with no decent quality control.

They'll sell all the furniture at fire sale prices.

They'll break down the buildings, the older ones, especially, and sell all the bits, from the copper pipe to the "aged brick;"

They'll raid the pension funds.

They'll tell the workers to go fuck themselves.

That's Trumpy-MoneyBooBoo style.

The thing is... The shelf life of Hostess products is measured in thousands of millenia, far longer than humans will exist on this planet.

Well, if life still exists, maybe they'll consume them, assuming they evolve the special plastic package bursting incisors.
