How will a post-COVID 19 world deal with meat packing?

[Cairycat]

I think of my friend, who worked at Tyson in Waterloo and died from his exposure there, and the thousands of others who earn their living at what are, in the best of circumstances, grueling jobs ... I think of how so many Midwestern communities depend on agriculture related jobs like this, how dependent communities are on people willing to work so hard and risk so much for so little ... I wonder if we cannot possibly envision and work for a more equitable future ... I wonder if my friend's funeral, to be held at some undetermined date will make his death more real, or if my husband and I will always half expect to hear his knock at our door, hearing, "Greetings!" as he always said ....

1. Robots. Toss employees on the ash heap of history. American Exceptionalism

I think I'm out of optimism.
