My family are currently in positions of plant manager and quality assurance manager in poultry plants. I can say for certain that the current situation is more dire than most people think- and we may see a near total collapse of the food supply. Covid has thrown a wrench in every industry- especially food processing. Ranging from plant closures due to outbreaks and now government overreach with vaccine mandates.
The vaccine mandates in processing plants are not discussed at all, most likely due to the contempt our ruling class has for rural, working-class Americans.
The current situation with mandates is from multiple fronts: USDA inspectors and the factory workers. For context, USDA inspectors are federal employees that are paid for by processing plants and necessary for operation- without them these plants cannot run due to federal law.
Currently, there is a large shortage of inspectors. There are roughly 6,500 inspectors nationwide across all meat processing industries, with a roughly 500-700 inspector shortage. My family has been running into issues with these inspectors being stretched thin already.
The inspector at this Midwest plant is responsible for 3 total plants normally, but currently he is inspecting 9 total plants at the same time. This is dangerous for both the wellbeing of the inspector, but most importantly the quality of the food produced.
On top of that, the USDA is covering up their shortage. On their jobs page, they list a measly 57 openings for inspectors. They cover this up by only listing their positions for a week or two at a time to prevent people from realizing this dire shortage.
These inspectors have received a memo stating that they have until Friday, Nov. 19 to get vaccinated (despite the actual deadline being Dec. 4). The problem is that a sizable plurality of inspectors refuse to be bend to government vaccine mandates (roughly 25-35%).
If upwards of 35% of inspectors are fired come Dec. 4, we are looking at roughly 2,200 inspectors nationwide disappearing. This will be catastrophic. To be clear, I stand with those refusing and will fight with them.
Likewise, if a plant is stretched thin on quality assurance personnel to protect the quality of meat, that will lead to a complete shutdown of these plants until they can be fully staffed. We are looking at this being compounded with the inspector shortage.
If this happens, many plants will not be able to run. Meaning, no meat in the store and no food for children in public schools. Some of the biggest customers of the plant my family works at are public schools and prisons, as well as national chains.
This could result in children becoming malnourished at schools, as well as families having a very hard time putting food on the table. Now, how bad is the current situation, pre-mandate?
Managers at this plant have already had to jump on the line and help produce chicken due to lack of employees. This isn’t due to low pay or benefits- they stand as a beacon of hope and stability in the community. They value their workers but are on the verge of losing it all.
Likewise, corporate is already discussing sending corporate managers, including the CEO, to help relieve the already damaging constraints by working on the line with everyone else.
Only 25% of the plant is vaccinated, meaning the company will be forced to give weekly testing for all their locations, which will cost hundreds of thousands per year, or fire their hard-working employees.
If this plant, like hundreds of others across rural America, shut down it will be the final nail in the coffin of these towns and a total collapse of the food supply.
This is exacerbated by the fact that these employees oftentimes have no other skills besides working in food processing. Without this job, they won’t be able to feed their families and the towns they live in will die.
We are looking at a multi-dimensional planned disaster: people losing their jobs, food processing being destroyed and risking famine, and the total decimation of rural communities who rely on these jobs to support their families. It is completely avoidable, but they want this.
It doesn’t stop there: we are looking at a fertilizer shortage, with prices increasing 200% on ammonia. This spells disaster for family farms:
Global, Domestic Fertilizer Prices Continue to RiseVarious logistical issues continue to plague fertilizer production, although at lesser levels than in October. Some countries are limiting exports, which is pushing prices sky high.https://www.dtnpf.com/agriculture/web/ag/crops/article/2021/11/12/global-domestic-fertilizer-prices
While this isn’t meant to serve as a doomsday prediction, I urge people to be prepared for potential supply chain collapse- especially regarding food. Please, protect yourself and your loved ones. They are trying to purposely destroy our food supply.
As stated above, most people do not hear about food processing plants (except regarding cyberattacks earlier this year). This is a huge blindside to the American consumer who may soon not be able to get any meat at all, let alone hyper-inflated priced meat.
We are facing a total disaster. If the mandate goes into effect, we are looking at hundreds of thousands of families losing their livelihoods and millions of people becoming malnourished. And its all planned.

That reminds me - -do you know why LBJ and his "lady bird" kept the Vietnam War going? Not a "pretty story" at all - -it was ALL about the money, in their own pockets!
You misunderstood!
I said EVEN the barbarians, as in even they were in it to win.....why aren't we? That was not a real question, I know why we arent, and pretty disgusted about it all be abuse we are sacrificing young lives for people to get wealthy.
Exactly Marlene...
Corruption breeds corruption and the stench coming out of Washington is so strong that no one is free from the stain of corruption... fire them all... let God sort out the good from the bad.
We need a Recall Amendment... recall all sitting politicians and appointed government officials subject to new elections that bar anyone presently or in the past that has held any office in the government from running... no incumbents or past government officials need to apply or run for office...
Completely drain the swamp and then go after the criminal elements... confiscate their wealth under the RICO statutes and set an example for all future government employees.... politicians and appointees.
If your docks are full, how long is it before you allow unvaccinated, mask less truckers to haul away containers? When your Stores' shelves are empty, how long before you become willing to receive goods from unvaccinated, mask less truckers? As your Businesses near Bankruptcy, how long before you accept unvaccinated, mask less employees? As your Children slowly become predatory, reaction surviving animals before as Parents you demand that Schools reopen to the unvaccinated, mask less students to learn to accept their roles as normal behavior in civilized societies. How long before those who by Birth and Taxes, pay for the Right of Freedom guaranteed under the Bill of Rights and protection of life and properties from parasites demand actions. Nancy Reagan as First Lady once said in a Campaign against Drugs, "Just Say No." As American Citizens, are we any less addicted to Government Controls in our lives that we are now incapable as a People of "Just Saying No?"

How long did the Jews watch as their neighbors were hauled off to the ovens... or did the Ukrainians widely suffer as millions starved... How long did the Chinese suffer the systematic purges of million and the Cambodians bleed red in the killing fields?
Humanity is not so different that such atrocities can not occur in America... given the backwater discussions concerning the long term effects of the COVID mRNA gene protocol and the insane rush to get as many injected with what may be the poison of genocide... how long will it be before America suffers tens of millions dead at the hand of tyrants? How long... has humanity suffered under the inanity of depots?
The better question would be ... when will mankind's inhumanity toward his own kind STOP... The answer to that lies in the hands of God and His return to set up His millennial reign.
The Jews were always a minority in every country with very little support if any from the Christian population, do you really think they could have saved themselves if they opposed? But you are correct about humanity......just look at the riots, they are like wild animals, they could take it to the next level!
Ilona...
I do not blame the Jew or any of the victims of government-sponsored genocide... I wanted only to point out that such acts are neither new or limited too other governments... America is subject to the same incidents of genocide by the government. We have a corrupt government and the depth to wich it now appears willing to go to control the population is shocking and dangerous.
You think our Democrat RULERS plan on starving and freezing half of us to death this winter?......................Communism 101...............They.. HAVE to kill half of us or the Totalitarian Gov. they're installing will fail.
Al thoughts of freedom or it's concept must be ERASED!!!!.................That means YOU AND YOURS!!!!
I think history teaches us that it would be wise to prepare for the worst... and that the senile geriatric in charge is borderline delusional makes it even more important to prepare for the worst.
If you don't live too far from rural farming areas, don't be afraid to venture out there; shop and support our local growers. If you have a patio, deck, or porch, even if you don't have a big yard, do some research on "contnainer gardening" - - -it can be set up to use minimal space AND you could grow your own fresh veggies. Even if you're not a "vegetarian", a vegetable diet is far better than starvation. I have to confess, my family has been "prepping" for a number of years; over time, we acquired an extra refrig and freezer (and a generator) along with plenty of shelving space for canned and staple goods, paper and operating supplies, etc. We could hold out for, minimally, 6 months if we had to. We are careful to "rotate" stock. If you have the means to do so, I recommend it.
