Not too Yummy: Yum Brands Cooking Up Layoffs

Yum Brands is cutting several hundred jobs as part of a restructuring effort.

It seems this is not likely related to the clownsumer, since fast food is where people will still get their lazy and non-self prepared food fix. Walmart, McDonalds, and other places of that caliber are the main beneficiaries of the slowed down and tapped out clownsumer. Many people were so accustomed to eating out that they still regard a prepared food in fast food as a cheaper alternative to cooking at home. Additionally, lazy and sloth are two character attributes of many clownsumers who will appreciate the lack of effort to plan, think, and act on cooking up a home cooked meal. These fast food food restaurants will be the beneficiary until things get to severe recessionary levels.
