Twinkies Maker Hostess Going Out of Business, CEO Blames Union Strike | NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth.

Gregory Rayburn CEO of Hostess has announced closure of the entire corporation, and intent to sell off the assets to the highest bidder.
The decision to close came after insufficient numbers of workers heeded the deadline to return to work on Thursday.
Rayburn said that if he could not get production close to normal levels he would have to shut down.
This means that 18000 more workers across the U.S. are entering Obamaville, and dependency on the government.

Congrat’s to the Unions who thought that no job was better than a job with reduced pay and benefits, for a company that was struggling to survive.

Radford business owner declines Joe Biden’s request to stop in store – wdbj7.com.

Krumb and Get it owner, Chris McMurray, refused a visit by Joe Biden to his bakery in Radford Va. Why would a brand new business owner turn down the free  publicity?
It’s what Obama said about small businesses: “You didn’t build that”
People who work 80 hours a week or more to sustain a business don’t want to hear that garbage.

The most astonishing news is quoted from the WDBJ 7 article linked above:

“Here’s the back story, we’re told that shortly after Crumb and Get It told Biden’s advance people ‘no’ — the secret service walked in and told Chris McMurray ”Thanks for standing up and saying ‘no’ — then they bought a whole bunch of cookies and cupcakes.”

“McMurray said he’s hoping folks will understand he just didn’t want to be part of a photo op for an administration whose policies he doesn’t agree with.”

Pharmer applauds Chris McMurray  for sticking to his principles.
