Democrats and big government socialists seem hooked on the idea that the economy needs to be damaged or destroyed in order to save the planet from unwelcome weather changes.

Dozens of Meat Processing Plants Expected to Shut Down Under New EPA Rules

EPA touts rules as necessary to control contamination from wastewater, while critics say the rules go too far and exemplify federal overreach.

Dozens of Meat Processing Plants Expected to Shut Down Under New EPA Rules​

Food prices—especially meat and poultry—have skyrocketed in the past four years and could be exacerbated further next year when new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rules for meat processors go into effect in August 2025. Rising Prices: The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Price Outlook for September reported that beef and veal prices had increased for six straight months, and predicted they will rise 5.2 percent overall in 2024.

The report traced the rise to factors including pandemic-related supply chain disruptions and the worst inflation since the 1980s.

EPA Proposal: the updated rules center around reducing wastewater discharges from slaughterhouses and poultry processors through water filtration technology. Impact: The EPA estimates that under its preferred option, at least 16 facilities will be forced to close, impacting at least 17,000 jobs. At the top end, the EPA estimates up to 53 plants could close.

If you are totally convinced that the global warming narratives are irrefutable then go ahead and believe whatever you like.

Global warming narratives are not universally accepted and agreed upon by scientists as leftists dishonestly claim.

Mark is in favor of dirty water and poisoned air. What will most likely happen is that meat processing centers will abide by the regulations.

I shop every week and I see no evidence that pork or chicken prices have "skyrocketed". They are the same as they were last year.
