    I am long time away from meat packers. However the time I have been with and inside of them is essentially herd management of people who really would prefer to be doing something else if they could.

    I don't think any corporation would reveal the deaths inside their structure it will only scare off others.

    Last week I was in a position that we are not too badly off with meat industry and after this afternoon Im tempted to consider for once that we are looking at a systematic problem which will become clear to many within another week.

    Meat is not something you can just close and leave it for two weeks. I cannot really imagine such a scenario because if I was say two hours behind with a meat load there is murder fixing to be committed against me in the old days, now they are willing to essentially not feed a nation for two weeks. Its crazy.

    They should have federalized or brought in replacements to keep the plants running whatever they had to do even if they do not process as fast being 10 feet apart or whatever.
