'The food supply chain is breaking,' Tyson says as plants close

New York (CNN Business)Tyson Foods (TSN) is warning that "millions of pounds of meat" will disappear from the supply chain as the coronavirus pandemic pushes food processing plants to close, leading to product shortages in grocery stores across the country. "The food supply chain is breaking," wrote board chairman John Tyson in a full-page advertisement published Sunday in The New York Times, Washington Post and Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.

US farmers don't have anywhere to sell their livestock, he said, adding that "millions of animals — chickens, pigs and cattle — will be depopulated because of the closure of our processing facilities." "There will be limited supply of our products available in grocery stores until we are able to reopen our facilities that are currently closed," Tyson wrote.

When all else fails, use the tried and true...” you’re a troll!”

All Trump’s been doing is tweeting about the mean Fake News. He’s not saying crap about our oil industry tanking, and major issues with meat production! Go to his twitter feed and tell me where he’s addressing the oil and meat industries in a meaningful way!

Fauci and Birx are calling the shots on this reopening, NOT TRUMP!

The Canadian geese are flying all over the place around here (rural CT).

Given the coming meat shortage, just consider them moving targets.

Why isn’t this happening with grocery stores?

Grocery stores have LOTS of people, within pretty close distance to one another....either while unloading boxes, stocking shelves, cashiering, etc.

Where are the high infection rates among grocery store workers? Or, if this same thing (a handful of infections and folks afraid to come to work and are staying home and making more than they are working) why aren’t we hearing about that?

It is not the “:pandemic” that is pushing facilities in this seemingly targeted production sector to close

It is the lockdown doom porn hudtlerd, aka “:health experts” frightening governors into shutdown over impossible to meet health criteria

Trump needs to step in with Dept of Ag and use the DPA to takeover. And after the pandemic, this industry returns to US, not Chinese, ownership

It does seem WAY too deliberate

The economy is screaming in the throws of death and no one in power is listening.

There is one giant patient whose death will actually kill millions - that patient is the economy.

What’s Trump supposed to do? Let me guess, you think Joe Biden would be doing a much better job with this situation. Right?

Because grocery stores are not standing in the blood and guts of Tyson’s 190,000 slaughtered animals a day?

You’re hysterical.

Patience. All will work out. God is still in heaven. With God, Americans will pick up the pieces and make better.

So, you’re saying that the (190,000) slaughtered animals, at the Tyson plants, are what’s infecting their employees??

How are Tysons shipments to China doing? I’m sure those shipments are good to go!

I butchered some chickens a few years ago.

Remarked to myself at the time “I shall be eternally grateful I don’t have to do that for a living”.

I’m now considering ordering some meat chickens, in addition to my current flock of layers.

I haven't looked, but I am sure there are YouTube videos on how to kill and gut chickens, pigs and cows.

Probably not for long, as YouTube is checking with the W.H.O. to see if their policy guidelines allow Americans to know these things. /s
