We are facing a meat shortage not just in the United States but around the world thanks to this lunatic lockdown that’s been imposed. All of the media hysteria promoting fears of the doomsday virus has led to the closure of numerous meat processing plants.
Plant shutdowns are leaving the U.S. dangerously close to meat shortages as coronavirus outbreaks now spread to suppliers across the Americas.
Almost a third of U.S. pork capacity is down, the first big poultry plants closed on Friday and experts are warning that domestic shortages are just weeks away. Brazil, the world’s No. 1 shipper of chicken and beef, saw its first major closure with the halt of a poultry plant owned by JBS SA, the world’s biggest meat company. Key operations are also down in Canada, the latest being a British Columbia poultry plant.
While hundreds of plants in the Americas are still running, the staggering acceleration of supply disruptions is now raising questions over global shortfalls. Taken together, the U.S., Brazil and Canada account for about 65% of world meat trade.
“It’s absolutely unprecedented,” said Brett Stuart, president of Denver-based consulting firm Global AgriTrends. “It’s a lose-lose situation where we have producers at the risk of losing everything and consumers at the risk of paying higher prices. Restaurants in a week could be out of fresh ground beef.”
New U.S. shutdowns are hitting at a dizzying rate. Smithfield Foods Inc., the world’s No. 1 pork producer, said Friday it was closing another operation, this one in Illinois. That news hit less than an hour after Hormel Foods Corp. said it was idling two of its Jennie-O turkey plants in Minnesota. A big hog-slaughter facility in Indiana is also shutting. Friday’s news added to a flurry of other halts announced in the space of just a few weeks.
Unlike the virus hysteria, supply chain disruptions are a real thing that is absolutely happening. It’s happening to all sorts of products. Meat and other types of food have not been exempt from this.
The people who are continuing to hype this virus hysteria are literally pushing a pro-hunger, pro-poverty and pro-starvation agenda. You would think that they would come to their senses and analyze the consequences of their actions but they seem to be incapable of doing that.
As it becomes more and more apparent how bad this economic collapse is going to be, I sincerely hope that all the people in the Jewish media who have pushed these insane hysterics find themselves unemployed and without food. Especially Chris Cuomo, what a virus-faking asshole he is.
