Why would companies who got huge tax breaks want to close some of their factories/stores?

The latest one:

Kimberly-Clark, maker of paper products like Kleenex, Viva paper towels, Cottonelle bathroom tissue and Huggies diapers, announced earlier this month it would use its tax cut windfall to pay the costs of closing 10 factories and dumping as many as 5,500 workers.”


Carreir, Wal-Mart, and many others are shuttering stores, factories and employees, NOW, but will get the tax break money ...when?

Don't they want to continue to make money by selling their products?

There has to be a reason, I can't figure it out, tho.

Did I read something from this group about the high price of cinnamon?????

If I did..almost sure I did, now that I think about it....I am ordering again from this bulk spice company, cinnamon powder
is about 6.00 a pound, which lasted me over a year last order, I use a lot of it.

and cinnamon sticks, in various lengths, are 7.20 a pound.

I bought a lot of species and herbs in pound sizes, they seem to do well in the freezer ( the manual defrost one).
Good money saver, even with their 20.00 shipping/handling fee.

Ted Lieu's comment re: above:
If article is accurate, some of these actions by @realDonaldTrump and his staff go beyond CONSCIOUSNESS OF GUILT. We are now looking squarely at COVER UP.
