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?

Another confirmed outbreak in an Iowa Tyson plan. How about this for stupid, they sent workers from the other regional plants that had positive cases to this plant. State just sent 2,500 tests to the plant, another 1.300 are coming from regional healthcare companies. Expecting large numbers of positive tests from the plant, that is if people are willing to come in. Lots of undocumented at that plant. Local hospitals initiated their surge plans today which includes large tents in the parking lot to deal with the influx of people and try to keep beds open for the critical.

Fabulous.  Illegals, come do our slave work, get sick, and half the country hates you because they don’t understand you.

If you are a meat eater, time to consider your food choices, this looks like a ticking time bomb

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

Yeah there will be many re-evaluations of lean & agile supply chain strategies .  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.
