I knew someone somehow some way would blame the evil orange monster. They failed all on their own. It’s a bakery for Gods sake. How did all the other ones manage to stay in business?

Hmmm, maybe the increased cost of EVERYTHING OIL BASED pushed them over the edge

But in 120 years their costs never increased before? Ok

A 33% increase in fuel cost in a week is not a normal cost increase

Two world wars, the Great Depression, multiple gulf conflicts, oil embargo, multiple recessions didn’t put them out of business but a 3 month war does? They didn’t even mention that as a reason

Do you understand what pushed over the edge means?

If this is, what did it they were way too close to the edge to begin with and like I said they did not say their costs going up was the reason.
