    Per the article:

    Tyson, the meatpacking giant that employs about 3,200 workers in the town, will leave all of them without jobs when the facility closes on Jan. 20.

    Per Wikipedia:

    As of the 2020 census, the population of Lexington, Nebraska was 10,348.

    So about 30% of them are without jobs. That’s a HUUUUUGE blow to their economy.

    Per this article:

    While expanding access to Asia, Brazil also made significant inroads into the U.S. market. In May alone, it shipped 175 million pounds of beef to the U.S., five times the volume of May 2024.

    All they need to do is learn Portuguese and relocate to Brazil. FTFY.
