Now that’s a tiny violin!
“If our pullets had been vaccinated when we started lobbying the federal government in January, our pullets would have been saved right now. So we would have been able to restock much more quickly,” he said. “We need to access the vaccine that the federal government has already approved. We need to be able to start giving it to our flocks and the quicker that we can start vaccinating our nation’s poultry flock, the quicker that we can get back to normalized operations.”
Uh huh, uh huh, tell us who you voted for there pal? Also, how much do you pay your prison inmate ‘employees’?
That part was one of the biggest revelations to me. I had no idea Arizona had a for-profit jail system that is essentially pseudo-slavery.
It's not pseudo-slavery, it's actual 100% legal slavery according to the words of the 13th Amendment of the US constitution.
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States
I don't think there's a state that doesn't.
Arkansas, California, Delaware, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin do not use for profit prisons.
Guess how many of those prison services are contracted out to private companies though.

Hmm. Inmates, you say? Maybe I think it's fine that you go out of business.

I feel so sad for all those chickens.
If you really want to gag, look up ventilation shutdown. It's a method used to mass-kill chickens, e.g. in the event of a disease outbreak. It has also been used on pigs.
The entire animal-ag industry deserves to fail.
If you really want to gag, look up ventilation shutdown.
that's the nice treatment, usually they just shred baby chicks alive or give them the electric chair treatment before slicing their neck open
I knew this. It's horrible. :(
If it makes you feel any better, they probably had miserable lives to start with...
It's ALMOST like factory farming isn't a profitable or a sane practice. /s
Unsurprising that he uses slave labor, too.
I really wish all able countries would move away from meat. The cruelty we inflict on these poor animals is absolutely insane.
I’ll take the meat if they can get rid of the slavery…
