    Just because you are cheap doesnt mean others are. I find it interesting that lefties are so free with other peoples money but when it comes to reaching into their own pockets to tip the coffee guy they act like their pockets are lined with razor blades.

    ad it was a bad decision, never a good idea to cut wages and pensions of employees and give yourself and mgmnt a 2x raise

    common sense

    I really can't believe your defending mgmnts actions at that company

    Wrong, OP documented nothing in terms of the simple forms of nonpayment I described, and most importantly, no one of the union label here, nor of the LW sewer pipe generally, have documented what % of the Trump businesses' bills are not paid timely. To restate, but I know full well it will be ignored again, any raw number of disputes/slow pays etc. not expressed as a percentage of overall payments made is meaningless.

    So it's just a perception thingy with you, the fact is those salaries wouldn't amount to anything divided amongst the employees and sometimes you pay a LOT for a great CEO to limit your losses and protect the assets and the company and investors, they aren't paid so that they can increase labor cost.

    AND BTW CEO's don't raise their salaries and bonuses, the Board does and sometimes it's a matter of retaining through such hard times when they have more lucrative offers from companies that aren't facing such hurdles as was Hostess at the time particularly with the unions.

    AND BTW since you refuse to answer, it they took his entire new salary and spread it over the 10 million pensioners of Hostess Brands it would amount to $0.25 a year per pensioner. So no they are not screwing the pensioners with his compensation even if it had stayed at the higher figure.

    Well DUH every project has hundreds of contractors and contractors are notorious for inflating bills and charging for materials not used and labor hours not performed.

    I know cheap restaurants. There are cheap, sit down restaurants that are in a hole in a wall with good food while only taking cash. That being said. that is different from a fast food joint where tipping is NOT expected. The part that I think you are falsely trying to portray is to think you are tipping at said restaurants where tipping is NOT expected. And that is the difference.

    Good grief...tipping is defined in the word itself. If you want to cheap out thats your decision.

    According to Kasich, the MSM has given Trump $2,000,000,000 worth of free coverage which has basically paid for Trump's nomination. Cry me a river over Trump and the MSM.

    the typical corporation is run like that, he is just playing the game the politicians like clinton allowed him to play.

    at least he didn't move jobs to other countries, and wants to bring them back.
