It's interesting that so many are pro building a physical wall along the border (as am I) to protect us from "foreign interests". Yet, do not see the point in protecting our economy from foreign interests. BTW boys, it's not capitalism at work with JBS. Its collusion, corruption, and global elitism manifest. The corruption and explanation of how JBS came to power is documented well in several documentaries. America is being conquered (actually sold out) from within.
I'm pro building a wall I'm pro stopping the import of foreign goods, food, steel, oil , electronics ... every thing.
Nothing from Brazil, Mexico, Canada, China the UK only America gets to sell in America. That's fair enough right?
yep
If jbs has committed a crime I'm all for dropping the hammer.
it's well documented, but dropping a hammer would incriminate many of our own in powerful positions, so we know that will not happenBut in many cases Americans are just getting outworked.
in some cases, yes this is true.
A American rancher with 500 head could probably do ok if all the dam part-time farmers with 50 head would get out of the way. I don't mean any offence by that except it's the truth.
no offense taken. The hobby guy, 1-49 cows, makes up approximately 25-28% of the entire beef cattle population in America(average several sources) the vast majority of beef producers can be classified as dam part-time farmers, as statistically speaking, 72% of ALL beef operations in America use outside income or off farm income to operate, regardless of herd size.
The fact that someone owns 100 acres and a tractor does not give them the automatic right to make a living farming...
???? I'm not sure anyone attempted to make this case in this discussion. There are very few rights guaranteed; life, liberty, pursuit of happiness. A guy with 1 acre should have the same level playing field as the guy with 10,000 acres. That's what liberty and pursuit are all about. Without a level playing field, EVERYONE is going away EVENTUALLY.
Government regulations are a big problem for small processers. Adding more government regulations is not the answer.
I'M NOT FOR MORE GOVT regulatuon. I am for the federal govt doing the job they were created to perform. Namely represent and protect our people, on a national level, to the rest of the world. Not sell us and our future generations out to turn a buck today
And fwiw. I know off several small processers doing quite well. I actually sell hay to one. They face so many USDA inspections the inspector has his own parking space. Only thing they process sheep and goats.
The difference is they haven't been bought. See that's what happens big business buys small business to eliminate compitetien . But it takes two . If JBS came out tommorow and said we're going to buy everyone's calves for 3.00
don't worry about that happening
Everyone here would sell. It's about money both ways
it sure is. Go back and read the article in the original post. Those two caballaros in the hat's stand to make a a good chunk of money. The only consistent losers are the American producers. Happens so frequently, for so long that most arent even sore anymore....it sucks to lose, but a sore loser just sucks.
