Procter and Gamble is ramping up production of Charmin. The PA plant is working. There are 2200 employees there.
An idled GA plant is being brought back. Other US plants are in UT, CA, MO, and WI.
P&G is doing everything possible to protect the health of employees on the job. But who really knows where all this is going. Let’s hope no lives are lost because of selfish fellow-citizens who are obsessed with their own behinds.
This morning I was listening to Leonard Cohen on my iPod. (Yes. I still have it.) In his song “Democracy” Cohen writes about “America — the cradle of the best and worst.”
“Sail on, sail on
O mighty Ship of State
To the Shores of Need
Past the Reefs of Greed
Through the Squalls of Hate
Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on.”
Maybe take a little time to look up the lyrics to “Democracy” and give it a listen — and some thought. Leonard Cohen was a poet for our time. What would he be writing now.
And what would Mr. Whipple think of this underbelly type of behavior over Charmin. (cringe, shudder)
