I’m from the government and I’m here to help, LOL.

Great to get a Reagan reference to keep us on an even keel.

Also like the meme of a woman at her aging mother's hospital bedside. Obama has entered, smiling, wearing a surgeon's gown. "Mother, this is Doctor Obama. He's here to help you and is taking over your health care."

a meatpacker informed me all premium cuts were shipped to china.

I thought they were masses of people fighting over the good things in life due to the Communist system. I know they allowed semi-capitalist millionaires and of course the Communist political elites to do well but are the regular Chinese rich enough for steak dinners?

And if the average person is really doing great then maybe the BLM,AOC, Gus Hall or Black Panthers and CPUSA types were right all along? (No, I don't believe it but want to have this explained to me, please.)

Doesn’t China control something similar for our pork supply?

Smithfield is Chinese owned. JBS is Brazilian owned, then there is the other parts of the meat cartel-—Tyson, Cargill, Hormel

How about the government quits trying to “help” everyone!? When the government “helps” it benefits the politically connected elite.

The Left’s goal is to spread their misery around.

Whenever I see Biden is involved I know it’s not going to end well. I am sure this is to insure LBTQ and Racial diversity.

“In the wake of Sinclair’s muckraking exposé on the industry of the time”.

Where to begin. Sinclair’s NOVEL was a fictional work in support of communism and contained no muckraking or expose because he made it all up.

Nevertheless, the resulting federal takeover of meat inspection and slaughterhouse regulations is what has cause the leviathan meatpacking cartel.

The fix is really simple, turn regulation back over to the states and authorize all veterinarians to do the animal health inspections and the local county health inspectors to handle the rest.

Boom shaka laka, a million small processors will bloom and thrive and so will the producers who provide the animals.

CAFO’s will fade away.

I know the difference between beef cattle and dairy cows, but am not sure POSOTUS does. Probably doesn’t matter to him as long as he gets his double scoop cone each day.

The 5 largest pork producers/processors worldwide are all Chinese, and Smithfield appears to be 3x the size of its largest competitors in the US:
