    Didn’t a felon rapist pedophile with a lifelong record of habitual lying say we were bringing American jobs back and we’d get tired of all the winning?

    TBH it’s hard to sympathize with people who worked for Tyson. They should probably have expected this sort of behavior.

    Maybe they can purchase the building as a cooperative?

        Unless Tyson bought out all the cattle ranchers, the coop could make contracts with them. If Tyson made contracts with the ranchers then shutting down packaging plants likely violates the terms or the spirit of the agreements. If the cattle ranches have all been shut down, well, good, but it could hypothetically start back up.
