As Twitchy told you, thanks to tax reform, Hostess is thanking employees with $1,250 bonuses and weekly free snacks. Pretty great, right? WRONG.
While we wait for Nancy Pelosi to spin these actual crumbs into something bad, MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle is already on it:
The free take-home snacks could end up jacking up healthcare costs. Unlimited twinkies do not do a body good https://t.co/R7kp3MSu9W

Better call off the parade, folks. Because Stephanie’s raining on it. And she’s got help:
oh goody… that will buy a new pair a shoes.

Sorry, but what kind of shoes are you buying that cost $1,250?
Right out of Trump's playbook: Distract the real assault with shiny coins.

Amen Steph. And we’ll all pay for the health issues caused by their increased weight and lack of movement

Maybe they're hoping the twinkies will kill the employees before they have to pay them a bonus.

What is HOSTESS trying to do to their employees….kill them so they don’t have lay them off in a year…?

Hostess to workers: we care so much about you, here eat these unhealthy snacks every week for a year and let us find out how unhealthy they really are.

Here’s $1259 from the billionaire owner. And here is more sugar than you need for a week. Enjoy your diabetes!

So they fatten them up and then kick them off of their healthcare claiming they are not fit for work…great job hostess.

That's why they'll need the extra $1,250… For the co-pays on each visit

I just priced out insulin, triple bypass and Alzheimer's care. It turns out $1,250 falls way short
