Taken together, the draft rules are a “very telling sign of this administration and how they view blue-collar workers…they have decided that they no longer have to care about workers at all.”
If only it was new or just this administration. Thirty years ago in high school we read a book about this same exact garbage from 1906, and it wasn't exactly news then either.
That was actually about the treatment of immigrants, he just overdid it on the linework descriptions.
You are quite correct, I should have said the book highlighted those issues, not that it was about them. As Sinclair said, "I aimed at the public's heart, and by accident I hit it in the stomach."
While socialism never took off to the extent Sinclair hoped, we did get the Pure Food and Drug Act and Meat Inspection Act, though those are feeling more like suggestions rather than standards with things like these policy changes and how cleanliness and food safety were treated through the COVID epidemic.
Even more dangerous for the animals? The whole place is purpose built to kill them. I think it's already pretty much peak danger for the animals. I think rather, what these workplaces are becoming is more cruel.
They plan on scaring the bejesus outta the animals before slaughter because they think fear makes the meat better, when in reality it makes it worse.
This is the pedantry I came here for. 5/5
Exactly what I thought reading this XD
Sorry chickens, how can we make your inevitable death more comfortable and inviting? I don't want to taste the fear.
As for the workers... meh. I don't eat human meat so it doesn't much matter to me.
Sorry chickens, how can we make your inevitable death more comfortable and inviting? I don’t want to taste the fear.
You laugh, but you really don't want to taste the fear. It really sours the meat.
Uhmmm ... its a slaughterhouse. It literally cannot get more dangerous for the animals.
While technically true, there's always room for deterioration.
Cruelty is the point
And Children. Someone small enough has to get into the tight areas to clean for these slaughterhouses.
Shut them all down.
