Tacit? Thundering. It’s UD‘s Donald Trump point again (see this post). He’s doing brilliantly because lots of people in this country like despicable people and despicable business practices.

The genius who came up with “Hostess 5.0” at the University of Louisville will be immortalized in case studies at business schools all over the country.
