> Look at Hostess, you have another company that makes the plastic wrappers for the Twinkies, another makes the trays the cup cakes go in, another probably prints and makes the boxes, fleet maintenance on their trucks, all of that is now directly effected by this one company closing. And I’m sure this is one of many that will go under.

Exactly. The gas stations where the employees fill up, the diners, small restaurants, EVERYONE in that area and beyond will be effected.
