Following an anonymous complaint in February, OSHA inspected the plant and fined Smithfield Foods $9,931.60 after observing workers’ exposure to “amputation hazards.” This was preceded by serious citations in 2021, 2023, and 2025.

Working in a slaughterhouse is extremely dangerous. In the US, there are approximately two amputations per week, primarily due to the industry’s poor working conditions and excessively fast pace.

[...]

As reported by KWQC, the leaders also acknowledged “community concerns” over a backlog of rendering material – animal waste, internal organs, and decaying meat – being stored outside the plant, causing a strong, unpleasant smell in the city.

Talking about Rand right?

Idiotic. I read Atlas just to read it, interesting story, not realistic in any way. I do wish all billionaires would fuck off to their own island or mars so they can die there when they realize they have 0 actual skills beyond grifting.

Rand also died on welfare so yeah.
