Following an anonymous complaint in February, OSHA inspected the plant and fined Smithfield Foods $9,931.60 after observing workers’ exposure to “amputation hazards.” This was preceded by serious citations in 2021, 2023, and 2025.
Working in a slaughterhouse is extremely dangerous. In the US, there are approximately two amputations per week, primarily due to the industry’s poor working conditions and excessively fast pace.

As reported by KWQC, the leaders also acknowledged “community concerns” over a backlog of rendering material – animal waste, internal organs, and decaying meat – being stored outside the plant, causing a strong, unpleasant smell in the city.

Talking about Rand right?
Idiotic. I read Atlas just to read it, interesting story, not realistic in any way. I do wish all billionaires would fuck off to their own island or mars so they can die there when they realize they have 0 actual skills beyond grifting.
Rand also died on welfare so yeah.
