Perhaps one of the most interesting aspects of the just announced
Hostess liquidation,...

Good read, thanks for the information. Just how many more
of these ticking time bombs do we have in the Americn
economy?


All businesses are ticking time bombs. At some point they all go off and
they go out of business. That's the natural course of business. They serve
a need for a while and at some point they come to an end. This business
is just like many before it that have mismanaged things to the point where
the company is no longer viable as a money making proposition.

But I wouldn't worry about not having what were Hostess products. They
aren't going away. The products that people want will continue to be
produced as long as the demand is there. They will just be produced by
different bakeries. That's all. Bakers are out there right now just
waiting to be called to produce these products but in different locations.

Also, as usual, the failure of this company is blamed by the management on
it's workers, not them. It's the union's fault. It's the fault of the
unfunded retirement plans, it's health care costs, it's always somehow the
fault of the folks who do the work to make the product who are to blame,
not the people running the company. Well, sorry, but it is the fault of
the people running he company. They are, after all, running things. So if
things go sour it's their fault. Don't expect them to be men about it and
take the blame for the way things went. Expect them to act like typical
republicans and blame others for what they failed at.

Get a copy of, The Wisdom of Psychopaths. The book brings to light
the thinking of modern upper management in todays bussines and
high level government.

On the face of it, psychopaths are often charming, outgoing people, who are
eager to make a positive impression. But these behaviours are imitations of
what they know to be socially acceptable: the so-called mask of sanity. The
clinical checklist for psychopathy refers to "glib and superficial charm,
grandiosity, need for stimulation, pathological lying, conning and
manipulating, lack of remorse, callousness, poor behaviour controls,
impulsivity irresponsibility, failure to accept responsibility for one's own
actions", et cetera.

Dr David Mashburn says "high-functioning psychopaths can be very successful.
They appear to be confident and calm and seem to have their act together.
The defining characteristic is that they are insatiable liars and skilled
manipulators."
