The Hostess-Twinkie who did what to kill it/them thread

[Dick Tuck]

The unions just voted themselves out of 18,000 jobs. I'm laughing.

Why would you laugh, if you weren't a total douche?

Notice how all the progressive scum scrabbling with a many many explanations to cover up the truth that the union killed Hostess??? Hey union assholes I liked my twinki's you greedy bastards.

Where the personal responsibility when you are depending on someone else for their help? That's why the question was stupid to ask and not answered.

Since we don't let people die in the street, that question is sort of irrelevent...

And it was a valid question... Why should I have to pay for the health care of someone who is too irresponsible to get health insurance coverage?

Is this you?

Why aren't right wingers pissed off about people who more than doubled their salary, telling people that they should give up 8% of theirs? What's the upside for you fucking morons?

Reducing the burden on fortunate or responsible individuals that have health insurance. Where is the party of personal responsibility?

Do you have any clue about what you just wrote?

I thought what she wrote was pretty clear.

And I noticed you didn't answer my question.

For those of us who work for/pay for our insurance, those who show up at a hospital emergency room for treatment and welch out on their bills make it harder for all of us.

So why are you defending that?

Oh.. because you don't like the government telling people do to things. Mean old Government.

The emergency room argument doesn't hold a lot of water with me. Let's us say that health care, for a family cost 500 $/month. Let's say an emergency visit for a cold or such cost 1000 $/visit. That means a person could go to the emergency room 6 times/year and it would be break even. EXCEPT when covered under a health care plan the individual will use MORE health care which will cost MORE. So the right and wrong of providing everyone health care at no cost to some can be debated. But the argument that doing so is going to cost those who pay their way NOW a whole lot more is not debatable, it can be no other way. Unless the cost of what one pays for a band aid in the hospital drops and I don't see that happening.

What would you do if your boss told you to cut your salary by 8%?

again that is not what was asked
Do you understand what personal responsibility means? So how many people die with healthcare coverage?
and again the question and your question has no meaning until you have an understanding about the meaning of personal responsibility

Here's an example I take care of myself I pay my way that would be an example of being__________ ______________?

'Twinkie defense'? Was this the first 'Twinkie Defense'?

The impressionable jury, they'll say, swallowed the defense contention that Dan White gobbled Twinkies, which blasted sugar through his arteries and drove him into a murderous frenzy. About as simple as: "Eat a Twinkie, commit a murder."

--------------

Except that he did kill a father of five. Shooting him the second time up close in the head to make sure he was dead and then only got 5 years in prison. Conservatives applauded the verdict at the time thinking it was too severe. But after he got out, no one wanted him in their community. He eventually committed suicide.

People who stock shelves are a dime a thousand.

Now, this wouldn't matter if you Libtards were willing to pay $4.99 for a box of Ho-Hos.

But like everyone else, you aren't.

I think you vastly underestimate what going to an emergency room costs.

In 2007, (the year I had all the medical issues that eventually cost me my job and turned me off from the GOP), I had to go to the emergency room after I slipped on some ice and effectively destroyed my left knee.

They gave me a shot of painkiller, and a pair of crutches.

And they charged my insurance company $1800.00 for doing effectively nothing.

Had I gone to my GP, they'd have done the same things, and charged me a lot less.

And that's the problem. When you make the emergency room the doctor of choice for poor people, you run up costs.

Completely Retarded?

Because you aren't taking care of yourself, guy. If you get seriously ill or injured, to the point where you end up having to pay a huge medical bill, usually it means your insurance company is taking from everyone else who didn't get sick that year to pay for you.

That's why I find you screaming about "Socialism" so fucking hilarious. It's all "socialism" as far as health care. It's just a matter of who gets to live in the Kremlin.

Why did Romulus pass universal health care in Massachusetts including a mandate? Kind of amazing that the bunch of opportunistic pricks running for something are always ready and willing to change their position for some votes. That's what this country has come to...........a bunch of money driven bullshit.

Notice how all the progressive scum scrabbling with a many many explanations to cover up the truth that the union killed Hostess??? Hey union assholes I liked my twinki's you greedy bastards.

To be precise, over 40 unions were involved in negotiations. All of them came to an agreement except for the Baker's union. Hostess met Teamster union demands that bread could not be delivered in the same truck as dessert items and increased the truck fleet. The Baker's union wanted more, and killed the jobs for all the other union members. The unions are eating one another.

LOL. Complete dumbasses. Why use common sense and be more efficient?

I hate to say it, but they get what they deserve.

 

[theHawk]

hahahahahahahahahahahahah


workers have rights even if you dont want them to have rights.


sell your hate of workers to the American people.

Im sure they love twinkies more than freedom.

Jesus you people just dont get it

Exactly what "rights" are you talking about? It's not like their company was using these employees as slave labor.

My suspicion is you're talking about entitlements not "rights".

Yes your reply was completely retarded.
Here are the facts you are clueless to what personal responsibility means.
If I take care of myself pay my way would mean I am being personally responsible. I refuse to allow you or a doctor of the government to dictate what I do with MY money.
