The Beef Over Meat - The Political Aftermath of The Covid-19 Outbreaks in Slaughterhouses
- 4 years ago
Slaughterhouses are the gates of hell. The Covid-19 #coronavirus thrives in the cold environment. But our #elites have found a different set of reasons behind the outbreaks: #work conditions, low #wages, egg and milk prices, bad #accommodations, a lack of supermarket price cartels, a type of service treaties (Werkvertrag) ... you name it.
The outbreaks are used as a club against the #industry. In this case the #left has chosen victims that absolutely deserve it. The companies that have become the focus of attention have pushed every competition out of the market by breaking existing laws. This has been going on for years, but in the past they were spared prosecution, maybe because they are so committed to the 'fight against the right.' Why would anybody think that new laws help when old ones were not enforced? The law of the land is loyalty to the zeitgeist and sometimes, even then, you are thrown under the bus anyway.
