I've never had a problem with a foreign owned company and headquartered in another country that has plants in the United States employing American people spending that money in the US. GM has been the largest employer in Mexico for years and many other auto manufactures. Wasn't it Mr. Clinton that opened the door for US business to send jobs out of this country with NAFTA. Trump is finally the 1st POTUS to try and stop NAFTA. Was Canada not exporting more milk into the US than we were allowed to export into Canada. But I have heard that the dairy farmers where going under because of Trump, like the corona virus is his fault also. I'm from Iowa, dairy farmers have been going out of business long before Trump and many other things before Trump.

So the owners of those meat packing firms are not capitalistic? Yes our government has created considerable social aspects to our culture but by and large major corporations can do as the please, sell, move, merge or lobby for subsidies. If were real socialistic we would have prevented the owners from selling the meat business profits overseas. I guess the Brazilians and the Chinese business leaders are better at running businesses in an expensive country than our American owners were or are.

The point is, if you can take what is on the fork, off, you need'nt fire a shot. The war is over. Communists are not capitalists. Please! Get that in your brain!

Fixed market prices screw American farmers. The fact that it's cost effective for Chinese companies to process American hogs and ship the meat to China tells you that the farmer is not getting their fair share of the profit from the hogs they work hard to produce. If that were not the case the Chinese would be growing, processing and eating their own pork.

Business is bottom line, the dollars, not the environment, the worker wage or their health. Look at the latest stats of meat plant workers that are contracting the virus and dying. Last I saw Smithfield has had 18 employees die from covid. Just a fact of life for the corporation and there will be more of it. As far as who owns what in the U.S. I THINK the UK is the biggest owner of American business and properties as far as foreign stakeholders.

I apologize for all the good people who live in the great state of Wyoming.
