open it back up.
And in a couple weeks, they clean the plant up, install safety dividers, the workers get better (99% of them), and they go back to work. I would say nothingburger, but it’s Tyson, so wal-crap pink slime “chicken” sandwich. LOL
Great, MORE crap for my lib friends to bug me with “Great trump Economy there, can’t get TP, flour, yeast, beans and now meat”.
Open this back-up and get TP on the shelves or quit pretending this is a first world country, slap some CEOs around if you have to Mr. Presidcent.
To stop the virus, or to stop Trump?
I’ve been hearing about this for a couple weeks, and Trump had better get out ahead of it. Empty shelves in grocery stores tend to encourage panic.
Defense Production Act?
Did people stop eating?
Well, just remember, we’re all in this together.
He prolly has stock in tofu and produce.
Fox "News" does us no favors with this Reuters article.
Our 2 local grocers(1 large Texas chain, 1 small town chain) had meat shortages about 1 month ago when folks from Houston and San Antonio came through cleaning out meats prior to “rationing”. Our local farmers, ranchers, feed stores, and actual leaders out here began “processing” a few of the thousands of cows, chickens, hogs, and other farm products to resale direct to local residents only via feed stores and other outlets.
Tyson who?
Old Rover’s going to look pretty good in a few months.
I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but I would not put a bit of market manipulation past Tyson
Let’s say you have some plants specifically serving restaurants and food service. They have not been doing well at all the last 6 weeks. So you shift some production to other plants, and declare to the media those closed plants “have coronavirus.”
Knowing the fear-mongering media will grab on to it, then use the opportunity to tell customers - sorry - price is going up 25%! Its all over the news!
This is great news. As we all know farming and especially animal husbandry are generating toxic greenhouse gasses which cause Climate Change. Now we will have less mammals causing Climate Change. We are all saved.
Is it any mystery as to why every Corona “sacrifice” fulfills a Progressive fantasy?
Here comes another media-driven panic.
Well I guess we’ll see how long the 800+lbs of grass fed beef, pork, chicken and venison in my freezer will last among 3 people. Not to mention the two wild turkeys we just shot. Time to go fishin.
So says the purveyor of water logged chicken.
Pelosi-”Let them eat cake!”
This is fear porn. Most processing plants are running at reduced hours because of reduced demand from the shut down restaurant industry.
Trump can easily order the USDA to give emergency certification to the thousands of non-USDA small processing plants dotted around the US that generally do custom processing for people who already purchase their meat on the hoof farm direct.
We have excess capacity. While a plant being closed temporarily might result in some local or regional supply issues, it’s really just a matter of reorienting the supply chain. Disruptions will be temporary and minor.
They won’t stay closed, they will be cleaned and reopened in a couple of weeks.
If Tyson keeps them closed longer than that, it’s because they don’t really need them because of reduced demand, or because they want to engage in a little profiteering by forcing farmers to accept less, while charging retailers more.
