Trump to sign order keeping meat processing plants open

[MindWars]

A big mistake was made with the unemployment compensation part of the stimulus....it read that people can go on unemployment if they fear going to work or can't go to work....they get their unemployment plus an additional $600 per month....that brings the package up to where a plant employee is at wage wise....so they can go on unemployment and bring home about the same amount of money as if they were working....so they all went on unemployment....then the plant has to close down.....for a lack of employees...

I heard today some were asking if they could be laid off because they would get more money on unemployment.

Trump has done well in responding to the Wu Flu; his decision TODAY to declare meat processing facilities essential AND ordering them to stay open may damn well prevent the supply chain from being irreparably damaged!

we are already looking at inflation, rising energy costs and food costs -- keeping production open as much as possible is a big step for the safety, security and well being of the country

and yes, Trump is allocating safety equipment for the industry! We were looking at possible food shortages; this was a great move by the President today

Trump to sign order keeping meat processing plants open

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump will sign an executive order Tuesday meant to stave off a shortage of chicken, pork and other meat on American supermarket shelves because of the coronavirus.

The order will use the Defense Production Act to classify meat processing as critical infrastructure to keep production plants open.

The order comes after industry leaders warned that consumers could see meat shortages in a matter of days after workers at major facilities tested positive for the virus. A senior White House official said the administration was working to prevent a situation in which a majority of processing plants shut down for a period of time, which could lead to an 80% drop in the availability of meat in supermarkets. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the order before its release.

Sure. Nothing like completely botching the response to the virus, touting miracle cures, and then ultimately demanding that people who work shoulder to shoulder in some of those plants be forced back to work. All in an effort to save your worthless presidency so some Trump supporter can get their frozen chicken nuggets. WTF.

if it was a democratic president you would be all for this so you can keep your fucking nuggets....so why against this?....

I'm curious what the details of this are. If the plants are being shut down because of workers contracting the virus (I seem to remember one of the Smithfield plants accounted for around half the cases of the state it was located in when it was closed), what will be the requirements for keeping it open?

Read the link. Try google too, it's your friend. 2.9% test positive, doesn't mean sick. Not a reason to shut down

What link am I supposed to read which will explain the details of how this EO that hasn't actually yet been put in effect will be implemented? Certainly not the one in the OP.

And testing positive may not mean symptomatic, but I'd say it does mean sick.

I'm not seeing details anywhere

Trump needs to provide some, hopefully at his next press briefing

Yep.

Around half of all US workers can earn better pay collecting unemployment than getting regular salaries from their current jobs

Labor experts said the generous benefits are helping achieve a key goal: keeping workers at home to curb the spread of the virus.

Sign an Order????? How the fuck can you enforce a Presidential Order ordering that people not get sick or that people who are sick must appear at work?

What sick people are being forced to appear at work?

they shut down because as many as 1000 plus employees in one large plant

Made up numbers.

190 positive cases and 3,400 employees. It's time to go back to work.

Hundreds of U.S. Meat Workers Have Now Tested Positive for Virus

There’s been a spike in coronavirus cases at meat plants in the U.S., with hundreds of reported infections in just the last week. That’s adding to questions over the fragility of the food-supply chain and raising concerns over worker safety.

www.bloomberg.com

no they are not!!!!!!!

Plants close, production plummets
By the time it closed its doors on April 12, Smithfield’s Sioux Falls plant had more than 200 confirmed cases of COVID-19. In the days since then, the case count has swelled to nearly 900...

making it the biggest single cluster of COVID-19 infections in the nation.

Coronavirus at meatpacking plants worse than first thought, USA TODAY investigation finds

Coronavirus closed Smithfield and JBS meatpacking plants. Many more are at risk. Operators may have to choose between worker health or meat in stores.

www.usatoday.com

ok, so it swelled to 900 covid cases and not a thousand.... And those are just the ones meeting symptom criteria who could get the test.... asymptomatic were not tested.....



and that article is from 4/22... they've certainly hit 1000 of the workers and fam, by now!

Holy TOLEDO!

What Trump did is give the plants protection against lawsuits, if the employees are harmed or killed from the Corona virus and having to work..........

THAT IS UTTER BULL CRAP

You liked this post in a thread using USA Today as a source. Are they fake news all the time or only when convenient?

Why did the left stop whining about VENTILATORS?

Is it because it was ALWAYS a bullshit complaint? Name how many people have died because they didn’t have access to a ventilator. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2020/04/28/coronavirus-hospitals-avoid-ventilator-shortage-curve-new-york-flattens/3036008001/ Just another symptom of TDS.

Yummy, virus burgers, corona chops, and COVID Sirloins.

you don't cook your meat? I heard heat kills it. and since we cook our meat, guess what? ahhh you can't, the brain cells fell out a long time ago. even my own wife picked up on that.

I guess he's too stupid to know that 97% of all raw chicken sold in the stores are contaminated with salmonella. But it's killed when cooked.

Gut Bacteria on 97 Percent of Retail Chicken Breasts

It won't all harm you, but some of it might. That's the caveat in the latest Consumer Reports analysis of tests on raw chicken breasts purchased at

www.foodsafetynews.com

you know, I've given up at what these ignorant fks know. they just want to destroy our country. and for that, I'm amazed. don't understand their issue with human life.

No one wants to destroy the country.

then why did we shut down? there wasn't any data to do that. none. but you think it was the right move with no data. why? cause it sounded good? seemed logical? sure, but when one has no data to make such a tragic step, one affects millions upon millions more people who got fked. Raped by our own government.

Because we were in the BLIND, without enough tests to know what was happening with the virus spread throughout each state, WITHOUT THE TEST KITS and reagents and materials needed to run the tests, and because there was not enough PPE for the doctors and nurses to protect the medical forces from becoming infected themselves and infecting others.

If we had the testing early on, NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED!

We need to face and learn from our mistakes, so not to repeat them and to better protect the American people.....

brushing that HUGE shortcoming under the rug, isn't going to help anyone!

Who is being forced back to work?

All in an effort to save your worthless presidency so some Trump supporter can get their frozen chicken nuggets. WTF.

Oh, you weren't actually serious. Got it. You're just bitching because you've been programmed like Pavlov's dog to oppose anything by the big bad orange man.

Sign an Order????? How the fuck can you enforce a Presidential Order ordering that people not get sick or that people who are sick must appear at work?

What sick people are being forced to appear at work?

Trump issued an Order that they stay open as they are essential businesses. How can they stay open if their employees are sick or refuse to work because they do not want to be come sick. That is the issue. The question is how do you implement this order. Trumpers cheer every pronouncement from Trump with a knee jerk reaction without thinking it through. Are we going to have the national guard run these plants if the employees refuse to work or there are insufficient workers?

Maybe the better solution is to keep with the social distancing rules until the virus threat has passed. This requires an adult approach, forward thinking and patience. Attributes that are sorely missing in the Trumpist.
