When Hostess became bankrupt after a union strike the iconic Twinkies stopped production. In 2012 America was a nation without Twinkies for several months and the future looked bleak. Then after eight months Hostess was bought by a company for 410 million dollars and Twinkies production returned.
The resurrection of Twinkies from oblivion was a nascent start; a humble beginning for the effort to make America great again. The downfall of Twinkies and the Wall Street banking/home mortgage crisis a few years earlier approached a Covid 19 level assault on the America way. Just today I bought a box of Twinkies and realized that the future is not so bad after all. It is important though, to remember that man does not live by Twinkies alone.
