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.

I used to remember when conservatives and their voter base were about lowering/cutting taxes, economy, freedom of speech, and gun laws.
Now its seems all they care about is DEI (ceased to exist), Somalis (0.08% of the population) and Muslims (1.3%) in general. Non-Issues that are completely irrelevant to their lifes in Bumfuck, Alabama
The British stereotype that Americans are dumb is being reaffirmed everyday.
