Right! The U.S. needs more jobless!


Dollars to doughnuts the jobs that were "lost" to the wonder bread
shutdown will shortly be offset by increased employment at smaller, local
bakeries who put out a higher quality product. that's baked on a twice
daily basis, and who don't have excessive layers of dead weight in
management and or shareholders they have to answer to.


Where are these "small local bakeries" I know of 10 different small
bakeries, all of them now out of business due to govt. regulations, taxes,
and the ever increasing cost of business.

Plus how many of these folks will now walk into a small bakery and expect
$20.00+ an hour when most small bakeries pay min. wage?


That is another section of this that I haven't seen mentioned. I wonder
what the actual job losses will be when you count up the losses in the
supply and delivery chain on top of the companies direct losses.

Small local bakeries are only relevant in serving a niche market looking for
fresh goods, they will never be able to compete with two loaves of bread at
Costco for $4.00. This is the way the industry is going:
