people who have wealth don't look at hard labor/blue collar jobs and ask how hard can it be, they know how hard it can be, thats why they don't want to do it. they ask 'whats the lowest amount i can pay someone to do this work for the most gain'. thats capitalism 101

This is why 65% of new businesses fail. They don't get consulting on this level. You should charge for this stuff.

I'd have gone out there and thought "Just pay whomever whatever the gently caress to do anything", but you're saying I shouldn't. This is news, BIG news.

I’m sure meat plant workers are specialized enough that the government won’t break their union and replace them with untrained scabs. They’re certainly more important than say, air traffic controllers.

A large amount of any given plants workforce is unskilled too-expensive-to-replace-with-robots labor or worthless managers that shouldn't exist. When you get down to the USDA/FDA certified inspectors that take temperatures/weights or the people directly running/maintaining the machinery that are taught over years how to handle ancient esoteric machines the company refuses to replace then you can't really just throw someone in there.

So I have a feeling the National Guard will be sent in or something and you'll have idiots plowing out raw/undercooked/unfrozen meat full of metal shavings because the one worker that knew the metal detector doesn't properly reject at line speeds above 200 patties per minute or something.

So apparently this book says some govts use crisis times to push unpopular policies unopposed.

But every time I ask Americans why they don't oppose their government more it's usually a mix of "it's impossible", "it's too dangerous" and "I actually love leopards eating my face".

So I have a distinct feeling there's much more to the picture than just "disaster capitalism"

I finally watched this video that someone posted a few days ago. It's loving terrifying. It's about coronavirus misinformation and the media outlets pushing it.

Rush Limbaugh can eat a loving dick. That's gotta be one of the most dangerous people in the entire country. I mean, I knew he was bad but I never really thought about all of the damage he's doing. He's the voice of the right. Whatever they say, he said it. Those dumb, easily refutable arguments, he made them.

I loving hate these people with a passion. From the bottom of my heart. I hate them.

The cool thing about, for example, the Smithfield class action suit https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/smithfield-foods-sued-over-working-conditions-missouri-during-coronavirus-n1191796 is that very little media is reporting the fact that the suit isn't seeking money...

Associated Press posted:

The lawsuit doesn’t seek monetary damages but is asking for an injunction to force Smithfield to comply with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and public health guidelines.

And the President is literally seeking to protect the companies from suits of this nature across the board.

I've worked most of my life in various kinds of manufacturing. It would be pretty on brand for Trump to be the new manager that comes in with galaxy brained ideas.

"Why is this production line running 40 units per minute."
"Because these two machines are bottlenecks that can only run that fast, after extensive modifications/aftermarket parts. The STS is rated for 25 and is currently running 60% over capacity and somehow stable."
"So you are saying it's speed can be increased. Give me 60 units per minute by the end of the week"
"It doesn't work that way, you'll start having more downtime because the machines will tear themselves up and have extremely inconsistent runs"
"Are we going to have a problem here? I don't like "Can't Do" Workers."

"WHY IS THAT MACHINE NOT RUNNING"
"Because it's failed 37 quality checks in a row at the camera"
"MAKE IT RUN"
"We are attempting to fix the printer that is causing every unit to be rejected from the line"
*speaking in a mock mentally challenged voice* "HIT THE BUTTON AND MAKE IT GO"

So yeah. Throw mass foodborne illness on top of covid19 as people who don't know what they are doing try to run the balls off of 1980s era machinery to keep up with some outrageous quota Trump is going to decide on. We need to output 50,000,000 chicken wings in 1/4th the time as usual to prove AMERICA IS BACK TO WORK and MANUFACTURING IS STRONG. What do you mean they are raw?!? What do you mean they have buckshot in them?!?!?!
