Tallahassee: [discovers Hostess truck filled with Sno-Balls] Sno-Balls? Sno-Balls? SNO-BALLS? Where's the @#$%ing Twinkies -- ?!?

Columbus: I love Sno-Balls.

Tallahassee: I hate coconut. Not the taste, consistency.

Columbus: [eats a Sno-Ball] Fresh.

Tallahassee: [grimly] Oh, this Twinkie thing. It ain't over yet.

-- Zombieland (2009)

Unions are the new Organized Crime syndicate.

They infect private employers, but MOSTLY infect Public Sectors (including youth indoctrination in Public Schoolz and Colleges), where the Socialist Workers' mentality becomes in-grained, the tenets of the Communist Manifesto are hammered home, and reliance on others as a "Right" are instilled.

For minorities, the Socialists create a generation-after-generation dependency, as evidenced by their near-unanimous voting pattern for more handouts.

There's plenty of guns and ammo out here now to protect what's left of Individual Freedom and Liberty (that's why Departments of the Federal Government are stockpiling ammo, too, so they can try to defend themselves against the coming "Resistance")

A more constructive response would be to find out what governments are doing that makes it so hard for some manufacturing firms to survive in this country.

Our government is increasingly comprised of Socialists who believe there is no reason for manufacturing firms to exist as entities separate from the State in the first place.

The real losers in this are the young people. These were jobs that a young person could make a decent living at without a college education. There are fewer and fewer jobs like that. Not everyone wants to go to college. After twelve years of the public education system, who can blame them? So we kill off another 18,000 jobs for the kids who want to work hard and earn a decent living and have a decent life. It’s a shame George Snuffleupagus and his buddies didn’t choke on those twinkies when they were making fun of the Hostess employees.

Unions have long since outlived their usefulness. They once served a useful purpose. They no longer do. They are detrimental to their own members. They are simply criminal operations engaged in legalized extortion.......

Headed that way all along. Hostess declares bankruptcy, sells rights and equipment to Bimbo in fire sale, whole operation moves to Mexico, problem solved. Does that mean that the price of twinkies will go down now?
