Serious question: in other parts of the country are you able to easily buy a cow or pig and have it butchered at a local butcher? I'm in Nebraska and its very simple. I will help Feed the Pedes if it becomes needed.
And no, while I live near Denver, which used to be the West's quintessential cow town, I have no idea how to get this process started. Nor is my freezer big enough to store a cow.
I live in a county of 10k and there are 3 businesses in my county (butcher, processors, smokehouses). I can buy a cow from a farmer I know, he delivers it to the butcher, and I pay the farmer roughly $3 per pound for the finished beef and pay the butcher about $0.60 per pound for processing. I then divide the costs and the beef between 4 families and we are setup for a year with steaks, ground beef and roasts.
The big newspapers in that part of the country have been beating the "shut them all down" drums loudly and relentlessly for the past few days and winning popular sentiment. It was inevitable. The people contacting their state representatives demanding shutdown don't realize they're risking their own hunger.
The packing plant shutdowns are because they are having Chinese Virus outbreaks. 3 plants in Nebraska that I'm aware of, one with 3600 "employees" (are illegal Mexican visitors considered employees?). Real question, how did they not foresee Virus outbreaks at meat packing plants with 95% illegal workforce? Working shoulder to shoulder, living 4 families to a house or apartment, working even when sick....
Well, in one situation, in Lexington Nebraska (Dawson county) they have a population of 10k, with 3k working at the Tyson packing plant, and 124 confirmed cases as of Monday I believe. Whether it matters or not, 95% of the 3k employees are Mexicans. This scares the Hell out of an already panicked local community. I agree with your logic, but the Governor is going to do what the panicking masses want.
Tyson just shut down their biggest plant
That fucking Chinese pork producer in Iowa just shut down (biggest one in the USA)
STOCK THE FUCK UP ON FOOD

Realize most of those papers are owned by the same company......
Or that .. after just ten days of it .. they'd eat their own betacuck comrades.

smithfield -- and i heard someone say they heard something about a nearby hormel plant as well, but cant confirm

So because 80% of them will be asymptomatic and most of the rest have flu like symptoms, they shut down a whole plant?
