PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Mondelēz International, who owns the old Kraft Foods plant in Northeast Philadelphia, has announced Thursday they will close in 2015.

The announcement means the loss of yet more jobs in the once-thriving snack industry (see related story).

Mondelēz says the closure of the Philadelphia bakery on Roosevelt Boulevard will affect about 350 employees, who were informed of the company’s decision earlier today.

The plant has changed hands over the years from Nabisco to Kraft, and then to the Chicago-based Mondelēz.

Would the Democrats now say that’s good for them?

They will be released from the dreaded "Job Lock".

Thanks, I’ll have to read that book. I looked it up on Amazon and it looked interesting.

I’ve become convinced that America and Americans are being purposely divided, as is our culture and middle class being destroyed by politicians, the media and financial predators. Keeping the sheep divided always works in a wolves interest.

Open borders and immigration was intended as another deflection to create more divide while lowering wages for all, except the wolves. Free trade and open borders never worked for Americans. The outcome was less security, outsourcing jobs, loss of tax base, and importing poverty. The poverty importation helps the D party because it creates dependence on the bottom. While the other Party creates dependence on the top called crony capitalism while the middle class gets screwed paying for both.

I quit drinking partisan kool aid. Partisans think the problems are all about the other Party. I’ve come to think our problems are beyond that, and the 2-Parties serve as a means to an end which is not necessarily good for a strong middle class that will serve as a check and balance on government.
