Did china buy the plant in South Dakota? Someone sent me that but I never bothered with it.
Yes, Smithfield is owned by a Chinese group. I wonder how politicians can grab their black bag money with both eyes closed during these transactions
this is turning political so please take that angle out of the responses on this board.
Was there significant travel to this plant from China in December or January?

Another story from Iowa, on the news conference it was stated they had 166 positive tests at the Tyson plant in Columbus Junction in a work force over 1,100 to paraphrase.Left out they only had 200 test's"As of Tuesday, the Iowa Department of Public Health reported 166 tests
related to the Tyson plant in Columbus Junction in southeastern Iowa's
Louisa County. Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds said Wednesday that the state is
sending an additional 900 COVID-19 tests to the plant. The state sent
200 of the tests there last week."
Is there any part of that industry that isn’t a heinous disgusting practice? Low intelligence/opportunity people slammed into a trauma inducing industry akin to being a nazi soldier working through the gas chambers, getting paid peanuts, no sick leave. Paid $23,000 a year at best to kill innocent animals who are hopped up on antibiotics (to prevent people from getting sic. . . . Derp profits) to make America sicker. Legislation in place to prevent outsiders from seeing inside these facilities. Imagine your work being so bad that there are federal laws prohibiting others from seeing what you are doing. While the executives WHO NEVER GET THEIR HANDS BLOODIED, make 10X the amount on average.
Gross all around. How does one defend this? Nutrients? The mere moments of taste bud pleasure worth it for these people to also be stuck in misery?
So I will mark you down as a "maybe" for the Vikefans BBQ?

I would have zero clue. I do believe that there is a large number of hispanics employed there and that group in this part of the country can be somewhat nomadic by themselves as the move from job to job quite frequently for a variety of reasons so this could really blow up if even a few smithfield employees took off and got jobs at some of the other packing houses, dairies, or creameries that are abundant in eastern SD.

Man, you are something else. Trampling all over the right for a conversation about bad systems we have in America. “Turning political”, all these moves are political, they don’t get approve without political approval. No brought up party, this is about America, the virus, and what is good and what is bad.
Guess you are fine with Chinese state owned companies owning parts of the US supply chain? Why are you so afraid to call a spade a spade? No conversations allowed here about the defense production act either.
Must be lonely sitting up in your moral high chair

Yeah there will be many re-evaluations of lean & agile supply chain goals and methods. Plenty of opportunities to improve or f##k up, the future is ours. Sure hope we get better, status quo, isn't all its cracked up to be.
Absolutely right. It is a sliver of hope. Regardless if we can’t discuss the rights and wrongs because it’s political, then there is no point to any discussion.
Can we PLEASE not fuck this up for everyone else?

If you want to talk politics take it to the other forum. if you want to attack me, you will be done for a while. last word on this topic in this thread.

I work in the cafeteria of the JBS plant in Worthington, MN where they've been spraying down everything that doesn't move 24/7 for 3 weeks. Sanitizer bottles all over the place, and since Tuesday you now need a mask to come in the building.
There are plenty of workers commuting from Sioux Falls. Tuesday I heard we had out first confirmed case in the plant, from SF. Now there's rumored to be about 10, most of them from Sioux Falls. Nobles County didn't have a confirmed case until last Saturday.. now there are 12 not counting the SF people. Something like 200 people didn't come to work today due to either sickness, quarantine, fear, or just lazy bastards after a "vacation" .
So FU very much to irresponsible Kristi Noem and Smithfield (note: Minnehaha county now has more cases than Hennepin county, MN with less then 1/5 the population). Be just great if we get shut down and I lose my job because a governor too stupid to tell people to stay home dropped their outbreak on us.
