What is causing this bottleneck?

I know a lot of meat went to restaraunts which have now closed but people are still eating.

Maybe not as much meat because so many don't have as much money.

Different supply chain too, of course.

PDJT just signed an EO invoking the ZDPA to keep the meat and poultry processing plants open.

I don't know the status of the chinese owned Smithfield plants or Tyson.

We’ve had some plants temporarily close because the workers were getting sick and some were dying. They closed to disinfect the plants and reopened with new protocols. The closures would cause a bottleneck and most likely the new protocols will result in a slowdown. Seems to me that someone needs to get going on getting these guys in the loop with who is open, closed, and slowed.

We are relatively hard hit and we have a LOT of Cargill’s Meat Packing plants.

It would be a shame if we nationalized them.
