    For some other context, the plant is now one of the largest in the US

    "Today, that same beef plant in Greeley is owned by JBS USA and has grown into one of the biggest slaughterhouses in the country with more than 6,000 workers"

      All that labor created value squeezed out of thousands of non-citizens considered expendable is exactly how they managed to create the biggest meatpacking plant. Just like how Amazon grows because it also has like a 200% turnover rate in its warehouses.

    There's a meatpacking plant in the closest little town to us out here in the Appalachian sticks. It stinks to high heavens from miles away. Nobody seems to work there long. They had some push to import laborers from eastern Europe and for a time had flyers posted around town in those languages. Then, after a while they all seemed to be gone.
