Bright Start News @BRIGHTstrt This is absolutely disgusting! WHITE LIBERALS put cows above jobs for black people! Nice story to frame the DNC convention in 2020! https://twitter.com/veggietality/status/1186378858276237313 …

We did it! Thanks to grassroots activism by Slaughter Free Milwaukee and overwhelming opposition by local residents, there we be no new slaughterhouse in the city of Milwaukee. Bye bye Strauss!https://www.bizjournals.com/milwaukee/news/2019/10/21/strauss-brands-rescinds-60m-plan-to-move.html …

The Biz Journals reported:

Following backlash from elected officials and anti-slaughterhouse organizers, meat production company Strauss Brands says it’s no longer pursuing a $60 million plan to relocate its headquarters and meat processing facility — along with 250 jobs — to Milwaukee’s Century City.

“It was our hope that Strauss Brands’ move to Milwaukee’s Century City neighborhood would have created jobs, provided an economic boost, and inspired other businesses to follow suit,” said Randy Strauss, president and CEO of Strauss Brands, in a statement Monday. “We honor and respect the opinions of the community and don’t want to make our home in a place where our presence would not be seen as a benefit. We are no longer pursuing relocation to Century City.”

The project is now likely headed back to the city of Franklin, where Strauss Brands already has a location.

Full Title

Democrats Cheer After Successfully Shutting Down Proposed Meat Packing Plant in Struggling Milwaukee Area

The Biz Journals reported

The Strauss facility was expected to receive about 500 live cows daily to be butchered and packaged. The company had plans to move about 150 Strauss jobs to Milwaukee from Franklin, and house up to 500 workers long term. The jobs would pay $14 to $17 an hour.

Under the HQ proposal, the city of Milwaukee would have sold the land in Century City to Strauss for $1, and provide a $4.5 million grant.

In a recent statement, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said he intended to keep pushing the project.

“I will continue to fight for family-supporting jobs at Century City,” he said. “I will not stop my efforts to attract businesses and provide opportunities where jobs are needed most.”

The chief lobbyist for Milwaukee’s largest business group tweeted that the unraveling of the Strauss deal “sends a horrible message to any business looking to locate in the city in general and Century City in particular.”

It seem that the only thing that democrats can create these days is more Trump voters. Their policies are so noticeably damaging to the country, even the people that fall for the Nigerian Prince scam can see it.

Fine, let the Stalinists continue turning their cities into destitute third-world Hellholes. They can enjoy defecating on their impoverished streets.

Investment can then improve lives in places where people wish to improve the economies of their community.

Blacks stay on welfare, get food stamps, Win/Win. They will still turn out in droves and vote for them, cuz they keep them on welfare and give them food stamps. Democraps could care less. They own them.

Well heck, they’re urging their people to kill their unborn and stop procreating. What’s off the table these days?

Why not stamp out a major source of nutrition documented for over five thousand years, and even sanction by God Himself?

Mayor Barret is as useless as tits on a boar. How he keeps getting re-elected, as Milwaukee slides into Lake Michigan, is beyond me.

But, it happens in so many of our once-beautiful cities DESTROYED by Democrats!

“I’m betting the leaders are democrats!”

The last time Milwaukee had a Republican Mayor was 112 years ago!

White liberals believe that blacks should not have jobs anyway. Indeed, in the eyes of white liberals, they should all have been aborted.

I think it is time to calculate how much carbon dioxide is caused by shipping meat to wisconsin. Think should ban importing meat to save the environment. Especially brauts

Speaking of VegNazis, have you ever seen the crying chicken lady? And if you’ll notice, the comments section is turned off because like all LibNazis, you are not allowed to have an opposing opinion therefore you must be censored....

Have you ever been within 2 miles of a slaughterhouse?

Or a feedlot?

I eat beef but I don’t want to live anywhere near where they are processed.
