Demand has not changed, why is supply getting out of whack?
“why is supply getting out of whack?”
Slaughter houses and meat packing plants are closing due to employees getting the kungflu. Also, many product lines are set up for bulk packages for restaurants, not consumer packages.

That’s why none of it makes any sense. Tyson said last week producers of beef, chicken and pork can’t sell their products to processors and the animals will have to be destroyed...When did people stop eating?
The majority of the slaughter houses and meat packing plants are in part owned by china and employ legal and illegal aliens. If you close that link in the chain because of woo flu, the farmers have no where to send their livestock and can not afford to keep them. They are killing them at the farm level for insurance reasons so they do not take a loss.
The stores run out of meat. And the farmers have no animals to send to slaughter after the woo flu clears.
There is no meat in the supply chain.
This is by design. It is working as planned.
Because the packaging companies who have hired MEXICANS for labor have a huge virus problem.
One being the meat processing plants in Green Bay WI, for example, have had to close because there is over 400 cases of this virus in Brown County..many cases within the Mexican community who are the main employees for those packing plants.
Then you have the same problems for many of the meat plants across the whole country.
These GD Mexicans rent houses and they bring in hoards to live in those houses. As many as 20 to 40 in some cases.
I suspect for the same reason we still have toilet paper and cleaning supply shortages. Different supply lines for restaurant and service industries vs. consumer.
I've read stories about dairy farmers in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania dumping milk because there's no room in the supply line for it. Same for meat and other products.
I've also seen one or two news reports about farmers in the south plowing over fields with crops in them for the same reason.
None of it makes sense to me that this is happening while shortages are being experienced.
