It's painfully obvious the big guys at the top cut all sorts of corners to increase the profits, I just read that the top CEO got a 300% raise while he was running the company into the ground.

Cutting those corners made Hostess stuff worse.

The workers had to go along of course.
And they are getting screwed while the big guys make out like the bandits they are.
