Yesterday’s Washington Post carried an attack on South Dakota and its governor, Kristi Noem, under the headline South Dakota’s Governor resisted ordering people to stay home. Now it has one of the nation’s largest coronavirus hot spots...The entire point of the article is that the Smithfield experience proves Governor Noem was wrong not to order a mass closure of businesses.
But wait! It is obvious even to a casual reader that the Post’s attack makes no sense. The article acknowledges that the Smithfield plant had already “been deemed essential by the federal government,” so no order Noem might have issued would have applied to it in any case.

"Moreover, the Post article conveyed the impression that the Smithfield plant might become a ghost facility, closed forever due to South Dakota’s failure to elect a Democratic governor. In fact, the plant will reopen in a matter of days. During the brief time it has been closed, Smithfield has been working intensively with the Centers for Disease Control, OSHA, and others, and is implementing measure..."
Our bacon is safe!
Although it is getting rather expensive.
Damn Chinese won it anyway now.
It seems like I heard the plant was owned by the Chinese government? Is that true?
Yes, I have heard that as well. It’s just another business that will have to be confiscated from them as part of their reparations to us.
Isn’t Smithfield owned by the Chinese now?
Or was that another large meat processor?
Smithfield was bought by the Commies, yes.
How can we be sure the pork they were processing was actually pork?
Just to be safe, I told Mrs Eagle not to buy Smithfield products. Or Tyson’s. That’s Clinton crony operation. Who knows what kind of meat they are actually processing.
Yeah, I have been boycotting Tyson for ~ 17 years now, and it isn’t easy. They sell a lot of their chicken to other food brands.
Tyson is also one of the largest employers of illegal aliens in the country.
LOL!
True. Bought a few years ago. Globalism at its finest. They also own some of our Ports. All in the name of Globalism. The plan was, if we welcome the Communists into the Capitalist system they would see the benefits of Capitalism and moderate and eventually see the errors of their ways.
Instead, they saw the WEAKNESS of Capitalist Countries with our PC dreams and plotted to Capitalize on our PC WEAKNESSES. And, we allowed them to do just that. For decades.
All during those DECADES there was just ONE MAN railing against this insanity. For decades he railed against this insanity. That man is Donald John Trump.
Trump has been talking about the suicidal path our country has been on since 1980. He has spoken against it repeatedly year after year since then.
No one else has ever been so outspoken, sounding the alarm as long as Donald Trump. We are blessed with this man that the MSM/Dems and the Socialist World despises.
Sonsabitches. Was it Mao who said he would hang the US by the rope it sold us?
No, that was Lenin.
South Dakota is not NYC.
Smithfield Foods is wholly owned by WH Group, a publicly traded Chinese company.
Regardless, I've already told Mrs. Eagle not to buy Smithfield or Tyson products.
Yes....Smithfield is owned by Chinese!!
Smithfield is owned by Chicoms.
