The good folks of Dawson County, Nebraska need to take a deep breath, and consider the bigger picture. They're finally getting Calibri font out of government documents, and the White House is getting vandalized. Losing some hamburger factory in the middle of buttfuck nowhere is a small price to pay.
While expanding access to Asia, Brazil also made significant inroads into the U.S. market. In May alone, it shipped 175 million pounds of beef to the U.S., five times the volume of May 2024.
All they need to do is learn Portuguese and relocate to Brazil. FTFY.
USA is a net importer of beef but for the opposite reason you say. The USA imports meat cuts and trimmings to make cheap ground meat and exports steaks and higher quality meat.
Have they thought about not being lazy and just pulling themselves up by the bootstraps? Surely they can easily pivot to available jobs in new industries for future and forward-looking technologies that our government has fostered to prevent large permanent job losses when volatile or transitional roles are threatened or eliminated? Right?
The homeless dude begging for money is a Trump supporter. Even someone starving and pennyness, he still supports Trump. That's stupidity at the highest level.
MS NOW reported Friday from Lexington — the county seat of Dawson County, Nebraska, a place Trump carried easily with more than 74 percent of the vote last year. Tyson, the meatpacking giant that employs about 3,200 workers in the town, will leave all of them without jobs when the facility closes on Jan. 20.
Listen to interviews and read quotes from people like this. They know damn will it's Trump's fault, but they think he doesn't know. Seriously, always the same attitude.
"We just need President Trump to know that his $policy is hurting us out here."
Imagine begging a malignant narcissist, with spiraling dementia, to give a shit about you.
Don't worry, I am sure they are super happy their favorite orange pedophile is having a Ball room built... they'll be warmed and nourished by the notion
The thing is, if they can throw out the psychopathic corporate politicians from their state and federal government, they can get some bennies to survive while they find new ways to make a living.
But will they realize that? I say no, they won't. And it's understandable, because a solution two or more years from now won't help them tomorrow. But still it would be nice if the message could work its way into the back corner of their brain.
More voters who fucked up and found out. If only they didn't cause so much collateral damage to the rest of US and international societies with their stupidity

I’m sure they’ll find a way to blame it on (a) Biden, (b) Democrats, (c) immigrants, and (d) woke liberals.
There is no or.

Per the article:
Per Wikipedia:
So about 30% of them are without jobs. That's a HUUUUUGE blow to their economy.

A 30% drop in employment is plenty to destroy a town.

On average, every household loses one source of income. That town is dead.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 4 pts · 247d
that would destroy a country if it was country wide too, 25% is enough to cause a massive downturn.

Here’s hoping the next Republicans they happily vote for (again) will finally fix the problems.
