I've never had that problem.
If you know what I mean.

Just a few closures of meat packing plants are putting the entire meat industry on the brink of collapse. A congressman who also raises cattle sounded the alarm for years that burdensome regulations needed to go. Now will Congress act in time?
Representative Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) is gaining bipartisan support for his PRIME Act, which stands for Processing Revival and Intrastate Meat Exemption Act. The bill has been sitting in the House and the Senate for nearly a year, meaning it could be fast tracked to President Donald Trump if the political will is there.
The legislation lifts restrictions on over 1,000 mom-and-pop meat processing plants that aren’t allowed to supply restaurants, schools, hotels, and the like. Yes, you read that right. The American people are dependent on a few big businesses that enjoy great advantages thanks to regulation.
Massie has proposed this common-sense solution for years to no avail. Apparently nobody was listening, just like when he opposed the $2.2 trillion stimulus package in late March. However, since Tyson Foods board chairman warned the supply chain was “breaking,” and Trump ordered meat processing plants to stay open, Massie is no longer being ignored.

Some anti-vaxxe, libertard bill that will lead to diseased cattle herds in a few years?
No thanks.
Try getting this through Nutty Nan. Has a snowball’s chance in hell of going anywhere. That is the reason we are going DPA.
You make an extreme assertion yet, back it up with nothing.
Provide proof positive to what you assert.
Read the article. It makes perfect sense

How about just dose workers at meat plants with hydroxychloroquine so that they don’t get WuFlu?
It is biparisan legislation so MAYBE it has a chance. I dont know...
Generally this guy strikes me as a kook, but on the face of it some sensible deregulation may be in order.
DPA has this covered!
it aint working.
I thought Trump ordered them all to open.
Was that not true?
Maybe i read something wrong.
Ah, my cholesterol will go down in the next six months :)
By the time the average American is fifty, he’s got five pounds of undigested red meat in his bowels.
It does’t stop farmers from euthanizing animals and then not getting to the processing plant.
Maybe there are Freepers who are farmers who can explain it better than me...
Ah...gotcha.
There must be Farmers on here? Maybe someone can answer..
You got that from a movie and its hogwash.
But wouldn’t they stop euthanizing if there were places to sell the animals to again?
But then there’s supermarkets rationing when there is no need because there were TONS of chicken and meat in the store the other day.
This whole virus plan is A BIG FusterCluck!! :)
I just had a fantasy, yes it's a moment of non-reality because I know it will never happen. Wouldn't it be great if Congress had a single bill that was, oh, let's say, 1,200 pages long the eliminates the Ag Dept and every single corporate and individual entitlement program that goes thru the Ag Dept and every single regulation ever written by the dept or mandated by congress. The 1,200 page thing isn't a set number. It's just would nice for a change to have a bill that is huge and does away with a bunch of stuff instead of growing government and regulations.
It was a joke you dope
