I wonder what Commissar Sanders thinks of C. Dean Metropoulos and Andy Jhawar, who recently achieved fame for resurrecting the Twinkie:
This grim wing of the Hostess plant is a leftover from the old Hostess–the one that debt, pension costs and mismanagement shuttered in 2012. But throw on a hairnet and pass on to the newly rehabilitated factory floor, and it makes sense why billionaire C. Dean Metropoulos, Apollo Global senior partner Andy Jhawar and Kansas Governor Sam Brownback are standing here, breathing in the sticky sweet air on a foggy April morning.The new factory is bright and clean. Tight rows of Twinkies march along the $20 million Auto Bake system with the precision of Soviet soldiers in a May Day parade. Yellow robotic arms, which look like they should be welding Teslas rather than boxing Twinkies, stack snacks with hypnotic rhythm. This 500-person plant produces more than 1 million Twinkies a day, 400 million a year. That’s 80% of Hostess’ total output–output that under the old regime required 14 plants and 9,000 employees. And it’s about to get more efficient: Metropoulos and Jhawar just installed a second Auto–Bake system, this one for Cup Cakes, and the governor [who wasn't supposed to be reelected] is here to cut the ribbon.
One new plant with a total of 500 people has 80% the output of 14 old plants with a total of 9,000 people?
That number is just staggering. Anyone with common sense will recognize it for what it is. Which means Union rank-and-file still won’t have a clue about what’s going to hit them.
