now that the nexus of profitability has moved to the Far East, as it were, and we Americans seem almost fully expendable.

We've been hearing it from Republicans for years --how the American worker is "lazy", wants "free stuff", etc.

Now that the chickens have come home to roost, turns out they're a wholly owned subsidiary of Pilgrim's Pride.

Also, I have suspicions that many of these folks' minds have been befuddled by Big Pharma.
