From the NYTimes article:
"One particular area of weakness are diaper sales in the United States — a slowdown that Kimberly Clark executives attributed to lower birthrates.
That development may be partly driven by millennials who are putting off or skipping parenthood. Whatever the reason, analysts at JPMorgan Chase attributed their negative view of the company in part to that demographic trend. In October, when the bank downgraded Kimberly-Clark to “underweight,” it wrote: “Looking ahead, we see potential for an incremental downtick in the birthrate.”"
The maker of Huggies and Kleenex is firing up to 5,500 workers — and it's using Trump tax cuts to pay for the layoffs.....

Wrong.
It's because he pays MORE taxes than me.
Simple math that escapes a few.
You're missing the big picture. If your neighbor gets a bigger tax break than you, you just fell behind.

Question. Over the last 12 months, are you doing better or worse than the previous 12 months?
I don’t know anyone doing worse outside of a cancer diagnosis or something like that. Not sure what the constant complaining is for. Lots of people need to grow up and realize complaining about an elected official isn’t doing anything. People need to look in the mirror and realize how foolish they look sometimes.
no shit

It's good news some (not many) working people are getting some money. It's bullshit that the tax cut is going to raise the average persons wage more than a negligible amount. Corporations aren't stupid. They are putting on a full court publicity press to make sure the republicans don't lose congress in 2018. Note how much of this stuff is bonuses that won't be repeated after the election. Who knows if this is spontaneous or if there was a wink wink nod nod deal in return for the tax cut. Even so they are burning 100 dollar bills to light shareholders cigars while dropping lose change on the ground for workers.
I'm confused is this bad news or great news for you clowns?
