P&G is a global company so why be sad if you think it is failing? It is in a down turn in the USA but not in other countries. Everything is global...nothing is local....nothing is only USA, Nothing is only North American except the taxes paid, so I have decided to use what ever company does what I need, regardless of where it is located.
Sounds awful doesn't it, but it is the truth. P&G is spending most of it's resources in countries other than the USA because it considers the USA as a mature market...in other words...it can't any more out of us so it moving to places that don't know that much about them so they can make more money with a new thing.
I say, let them have THEIR way and I will HAVE MINE with what works for ME regardless of where it is made or where the company is based.
