Guess they are not Cretins

Somebody said the Governor ought to send in the National Guard to clean these plants to rid the virus. Don’t know if that is the sort of thing that Nat’l Guard does or not.

There are 26 million unemployed Americans aholes

[Skywise]

While I applaud Trump’s action here he should also move the federal government to provide masks and financial support for cleaning to these factories. (If he hasn’t already)

[Sacajaweau]

This must have something to do with the President’s action.

Smithfield Foods is owned by the Chinese-based WH Group. The company, which is known as Shineway Group outside of Asia.

[McGruff]

Tell them to learn to code.

They make more if they are laid off...thanks to the insane stimulus bill.

The plant, roughly 25 miles southwest of Lincoln, employs about 2,000 people.

...

50 out of 2,000 isn’t impressive.

“...The plant, roughly 25 miles southwest of Lincoln, employs about 2,000 people. At least 48 workers have tested positive for the coronavirus....”
****************************************************
At least 48 tested positive. I bet far more than that would test positive for the antibodies whose presence indicates they earlier had the virus, defeated it and are now immune!

Eric Reeder, president of United Food & Commercial Workers Local 293, which represents the Crete workers, said he drove over and saw about 50 people engaged in the walkout around noon, which he said wasn't sanctioned by the union.

I wonder how many lies that sentence contains. No media coverage of the walkout, eh?

That’s because they want the special unemployment payment. A nice gesture gone wrong.

I would think people working in a meat processing plant would be wearing masks, goggles, and disposables coveralls as part of the USDA requirements.

[bboop]

The meat plant workers are Union folks. I suspect the Top Union Thugs are behind this closure. Good for our feisty President for his EO keeping them open. That’s so political.

[mass55th]

There’s more illegals and muzzies where they came from.

[Macoozie]

AUTOMATE THESE PLANTS!

90% of the work is easily pushed off onto machines. Pay fewer skilled cutters more.

Keep the effin illegals OUT!

[Starcitizen]

Smithfield should be forced closed until an American buyer is found. No more Communist Chinese-owned crap in our country
