About 150 Muslims were fired from their jobs at a beef processing plant in Colorado for failing to show up for work over a prayer dispute.

Last month, a group of 11 workers at Cargill Meat Solutions in Fort Morgan wanted to go pray at the same time in a room in the plant that is set aside for prayer and reflection. Their supervisor asked that the group break up into smaller numbers to not affect production, according to CNN affiliate KCNC. The workers complied with the supervisor's request and went in smaller groups to pray. But after their shift ended, 10 of the 11 workers resigned, turning in their badges and hard hats, Cargill spokesman Michael Martin told CNN. News of the dispute spread to other plant employees, and about 150 Somali workers missed work for three days in protest.

I’m sure the cost of living is a great deal greater there than here in Ohio too. You don’t think the rancher’s are being squeezed by the monopolies. It’s the same old story FRiend. The biggest consumer market in the world would suggest cheap prices for us, that most certainly isn’t the case except for some Chinese junk. The recent ruling against the US where we can’t even tell where our meat comes from is a prime example of being sold out by our government. A 33 billion dollar trade deficit with Mexico and tens of thousands of illegals cross our border every month.

Within your brief paragraph I could respond with many lines and you given the opportunity could respond in like.

I imagine a society where the people revolt against the media

I was going to add more, but the above would be a good start

I saw an interesting Netflix video called “Steak” the other night. America’s beef was highly rated. There was one funny clip with a little old man and his petite wife taking sticks to an enormous bull. The old man said that the bull was just being playful.
