I smell shite. None of these plant closings has any reason to be permanent. It’s a temporary thing while they decontaminate, add some safety measures like plexiglass barriers between workers, and most of all, the infected workers (99% of them) get better and go back to work.
This isn’t like the plants all burning down, or suddenly chickens going extinct. Just don’t sell the portion we were going to sell to the ChiComs, and tell them they can eat more cats and bats for the time being.
Or pay your workers a shift bonus for enduring the risk of showing up.
Seems to be working for Walmart.
