H.J. Heinz Co. is closing three plants in North America and cutting 1,350 jobs in an effort to operate more efficiently.

The food maker said Thursday that it will close facilities in two states and Canada over the next six to eight months. The cuts total 200 jobs in Florence, S.C., 410 jobs in Pocatello, Idaho and 740 employees in Leamington, Ontario, in Canada. …

And only ten months after Warren Buffett put his crispy “skin in the game”, so to speak.

The international banking system; loaned USA money to build factories, then/now re-loans money to Mexico and every place _but_ USA to re-build factories there.

Banks are obviously a non-national money making business, making the same profit re-building the same factory in an ongoing sequence of locations/nations. The brillance of it all is that they not only make money on the interest, but that they make even more money on the principle. Loaning money they didn’t even have; a fraction of it; wink, wink, wink.

Let me see, if I pretended to loan you $20million that I didn’t have, charging you 5% interest, would I make more money from interest, 5% (20M/20 = 1M) or the 20M principle? I can’t say enough duh...

You are correct...the loss of supplying McDonald's with ketchup had to hurt. The pile of rotten tomato's building up had to go somewhere.

McD’s only had about two restaurants serving Heinz ketchup. Just about all other outlets serve the McD “fancy” ketchup. No big lossmaker for Heinz.

Once I saw his ugly mug with Tuh-Ray-Zuh Heinz, we switched to Hunt’s Ketchup and never looked back.
