Tyson, a major beef plant, in Lexington, Nebraska is closing down and moving its operations to their Amarillo plant.
Folks! This is the 2 largest beef packing plant in Nebraska. Tyson has also close a pork processing facility in Perry, Iowa and the Emporia, Kansas beef plant over the past few years.
Tyson says that are losing money due to the tariffs and the high cost of beef.
See Dumpster Donnie! Not everything is good in our country!
The company I drive for, has been hauling loads from these plants and that hurts my company just as well!
Story from several local news outlets in the area.

(2,045 posts)I hope someday this nightmare will end. If only the idiots who voted for this were affected I would be ecstatic but so many Americans who voted right will also feel the pain.

(7,363 posts)Several family work for a company most never heard of that facilitates international money movements. They have laid off 3400 so far in the last 4 months in their US workforce. The drop in international commerce with the US means they don't need those people
There are people there with over 20 years that are being let go. Rank and file type folks and low level managers.
No one around here is hiring. Not even fast food joints. All those we hiring signs we saw during Biden are gone. We keep being told unemployment is getting lower and new jobs are off the charts.... I don't believe it.

(22,013 posts)As he was getting ready to leave for work for the first time after the election, he commented about the people he worked with who were Trump fans, sarcastically saying, "I hope they're happy now that they got what they wanted." I replied, "Me, too. The only problem is, we're all getting it!"
I was gutted about Hillary losing, but I couldn't even begin to imagine what was in store for those next 4 years, much less that things would be even worse all these years later!
