Hey antZtok, why do YOU feel compelled to posit AND argue false metrics?

When would China just say that we don't need Tyson . We will just do it ourselves, will democrats let unlabeled China chicken be sold in the USA like they do Canadian beef.

Where's your transportation cost and etc costs?
That's just passed along to the consumer, it doesn't affect their overhead. I haven't bothered to look for it, but I've read that some companies will grow in the US, ship it to Asia for processing, then ship it back to sell because it's still cheaper than processing it here. It's not that simple....

Coulda YOU tell us how those processed chicken parts woulda be transported AND sold in the United States? Irrelevant. Do you have any questions that are smart?
coulda YOU tell us why YOU feel the average wage at our Tyson plant is $15/hr when they start near that? I didn't say that it was. Coulda YOU tell us why you lack basic reading comprehension skills?
My actual quote... "For the sake of math, let's say that they make an average of $15 an hour..." If you want to argue that the average is higher then that's fine... it just makes my point stronger.

How many of Tyson's 2700 jobs are bussed in from out of county ?
How many total Wilkes jobs benefit Wilkes residents?
Tyson is a big deal, but they aren't the only game in town.

Transported in EV trucks, sold in self checkout counters, and grown in labs. The Democrat Way

Why does it have to "go away"? Its a processing plant. Find some local investors, keep contracting with the farmers, keep selling chicken.
It doesn't "have to," it's just inevitable. They're in business to make money, not to help an economically depressed area hobble along.
They have about 2,700 employees in Wilkes, which is great. But you'll remember that they've had several rounds of layoffs, which is never a good sign. But still, let's stick with that number... 2,700.
For the sake of math, let's say that they make an average of $15 an hour, 40 hours a week. That's $2,400 a month each... a payroll of $6,480,000 a month.
Now imagine that they had the exact same plant in China, where the employees make an average of $250 a month each... that's a payroll of $675,000 a month.
That one move means that they increase profits by $5,805,000 every month.
Plus they can grow meat in China with far fewer restrictions... no USDA. That means faster, cheaper meat that they can still sell at the same inflated price.
Unless there are investors that can write them a check for $6 million a month as a "thank you" for being in Wilkes, it's just foolish to think they'll stay forever.
Worse... they have 123 plants in the US. If they moved them all to China, just multiplying that $5,805,000 savings by 123... that's $714,015,000 they would save every month, just on payroll! Almost $8 billion-with-a-B a year, quadrupling their annual gross profit for 2023.

Get rid of the Tyson buildings and parking lots and you could build a really nice soccer field for the children to play on.

Anti if y'all would listen to Trump and put tariffs on everything coming in to the USA then business would stay here. Thanks Bill Clinton
That didn't help, though, did it? It just raised our prices and contributed to hyper inflation.
Americans ignorantly forget that we are only 300 million people out of 8.1 billion. We can use tariffs to adjust prices from products made overseas all we want, that doesn't affect the manufacturer in the slightest! And they still get to sell to 7.8 billion other people for lower prices while making higher profits.
You said it yourself... Trump's tariffs accomplished nothing but raising our prices.

I've been saying this for awhile... it's just a matter of time before Tyson is gone.
They have a new CEO, Donnie King, who started in 2021. He lists as an accomplishment that he has "helped grow Tyson's global footprint, including in high-growth markets in Asia."
Under his leadership, Tyson "has struggled in recent quarters with its U.S. business and likely will struggle in future quarters." In response, they have "invested in seven new international plants, six of which are in Asia."
Minimum monthly wage in China is around $200, so they save a LOT of money on payroll by moving jobs to Asia.
I can't find how many US plants they've closed since King became CEO... but it's a lot. I know they closed 8 in 2023 alone.
There's no way that we can compete with a $200 a month payroll, so it's just a matter of time before they leave. Really... they'd be fools NOT to! They don't owe us anything.
We kept our head in the sand with Lowes, too... oh, they'll never leave! And then they did, and everyone acted shocked. Like it wasn't obvious for years.
I've said for a long time that we need to prepare for Tyson to leave, but we keep electing commissioners that don't seem to make any preparations at all. We're too busy spending $50 million on a vanity project for a felon, when we should have been creating a Tyson backup plan.
