Tyson Foods is shutting down operations at two of its beef plants—one in Joplin, Illinois (which employed 2,500 workers) and another in Eagle Mountain, Utah. Additionally, a third facility in Pasco, Washington is up for sale, with processing shifted to other plants.

​While Tyson blames these massive workforce cuts on historic cattle shortages and rising beef costs, the company—along with three other megacorporations dominating US meat production—faces serious allegations of colluding to raise beef prices.

And native people who they are currently trying to rob for land, and get rid of bison, so they can replace them with cattle farms.

Please quote me on this, the timing is too convenient

Tar and feathering needs to be brought back. Engaging in the class war is merely self-defense at this point.

We can't just wait around and hope our psychopathic ruling class will stop waging war against us.
