..."“We deeply regret the necessity of today’s decision, but we do not have the financial resources to weather an extended nationwide strike,” Hostess CEO Gregory F. Rayburn said in announcing that the firm had filed a motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to shutter its business. “Hostess Brands will move promptly to lay off most of its 18,500-member workforce and focus on selling its assets to the highest bidders...."

Ya...it's a real shame that those entrusted with running the business were un-able to adapt to changing markets and consumer tastes.

Let's see, have a job and a little less of a pension or live off of unemployment (you and me).

I'll take unempolyment.

Oh, and I'm going to miss a certain chocolate treat with cream filling that I can't call by name due to the 7th grade ridicule that I would incur.

Yea...I mean, just how many people still eat bread! They should have turned to something people would actually buy...how dare that management continue to bake bread! Can you believe that in these changing times of markets and tastes? Man, how shortsighted of management to actually try to bake and sell bread these days. Who the heck eats bread any longer...seriously.

Unions take down another one. ...someday they'll learn. ...but not until they kill every golden goose and business owners get the hell out of unionized states.

It's really bad timing. If only those states would have legalized weed a year ago, maybe hostess would stay in business.

They always seemed overpriced to me.

It's been done...

You know, had we had a serious conversation on this topic and legalized recreational marijuana use 10 years ago, perhaps the Hostess company would still be in business today.

I hope all of you that voted "no" are man enough to personally apologize to all 18,000 former twinkie-stuffers who are now unemployed.

Wrong...as it has been demonstrated time and time time again...Unions will never learn. The "fat cat" union bosses will keep bleeding their membership for dues and will keep living the high life while they act to put their own members on the unemployment lines. Obviously the union bosses don't care about the rank and file membership. They have brain washed them for so many years that the remaining membership will continue to be the lemmings that fall into the sea ever blissful in their "unioness"!

      Some college football head coaches struggle with the NIL and Portal era...and give it up

      I find it curious how people always want to point out the high-paid coaches when they're talking about how coaches are, but they seem to want to forget what a lot of these coaches go through to get up in positions. You look around a lot of the assistant coaches, and they've been at five or more schools (some many more) working their way up. And when's the last time you saw a player get fired during the season and told not to come back, no matter how badly they screwed something up. So again, you can say that coaches make all the money, and people talk about them being greedy, but with all due respect, when you have college players hitting the portal every year, their level of greed is just as high, if not higher than the coaches. I am all for paying all the players but then letting them cover their expenses, and even though many of you will not agree with it, I 100% believe there should be no more student fees for any university that is paying players. The students should not have to put out money to compensate athletes if there's enough money in athletics to pay players.

      Defensive assistants

      Hopefully, this is a case where they can tell these players that we are here because we believe in you and then build on that relationship to get some of them to Denton

      Eleven players from SHSU's defense are in the portal. Ten of them were in their 2-deep as recently as the Jacksonville State game. Really hope some of them are locks to come over because otherwise I'm not sure who they're recruiting by coaching their bowl.

      😂. Every time I read something I am completely perplexed by the pearl clutching and bitching about NIL. Jimmy Johnson made 1 million per year and settled for 3.9 million as a back to back Super Bowl Champion Head Coach. That is high class garbage take when looking at Jimbo Fisher. Texas A&M significantly better without him coaching but walks away with money Jimmy Johnson only dreamed of. How about some of these coaches and Administrators who have been taking far more value out of the system than they generated payback some of that money? Ironic NIL became a thing the same year Fisher signed a 10 year $95 million contract. Seems to so many everyone is cool for everybody in college football except the players being mercenaries. Now if you want put 50% of all players NIL income into a collective pot distributed to all players (on all FBS level teams) that actually record snaps (minutes) in games, then let’s discuss. These guys aren’t playing against air. https://www.tampabay.com/archive/1994/03/30/johnson-leaves-cowboys/
