All according to plan.

Tupperware Brands announced it will be closing its South Carolina factory — the company’s last remaining plant in the US — and laying off more than 100 workers.
The iconic plastic food container company will shift all of its manufacturing operations to Mexico, where many of its products sold in the US and Canada are already made.
The shuttering of the facility in the small town of Hemingway will result in the layoffs of 148 employees, according to the company, which is headquartered in Orlando.
Layoffs are set to begin in September with a closure date scheduled for January 14, 2025, WCBD reported.
“It’s important to note this decision is not a reflection of the performance of the Hemingway team,” Tupperware told the outlet in a statement.”
“We appreciate each of our valued team members and the many years of service they have dedicated to our salesforce and to the Company.”
The Hemingway plant, Tupperware’s sole manufacturing site in the US, was sold in 2023.
Eligible employees will be offered severance packages and early retirement. The company also pledged to help connect them with other companies for employment.

Biden killed Tupperware.
Why did the walrus go to the Tupperware party?
Because he was looking for a tight seal.
I have a new slogan for Tupperware.

[The cost of labor for any mass produced “widget” is pennies on the dollar no matter where it is made. That is the whole point. We are talking about degrees of the cheapness of labor.]

wow... yes, they aren’t doing so badly.
I actually worked at a manufacturing plant owned by Tupperware back in the late 1980’s. They were terrible at building new plants. Very wasteful with their spending. The plant was WAY over-designed. The pumps had so many interlocks on them, we couldn’t run them more than 30 minutes when we first started up.
They eventually sold the plant to BP. Their engineers literally couldn’t believe what they found.

America Last
Americans Last
It’s the Uniparty’s game plan these days
That and staying power by telling Americans that everything is fine
We used to wash & reuse old food containers (butter tubs, etc.) when Tupperware and such were relatively more expensive.
Now we buy the multipack disposables (around $12/ 100 count). They can be reused, too, but if they have something that leaves a residue you don’t feel too bad about tossing them.
Let me guess, they UNIONIZED a year or two ago.
