Good ole Smithfield...owned by WH Group out of Luohe, China. Good bless America.


Not unlike hundreds of Chinese owned corporations though. We let them in decades ago. We only have ourselves to blame. America is addicted to buying shite and the cheaper it is, the more we buy. Consumerism has to change before we can sit around and bitch about it.

This.

Spend more on better quality. Stop shopping at dollar stores and Walmart. Stop buying clothes that will only last a year and cheap toys that will break tomorrow.

We, as a country, are so addicted to buying cheap shite that we gave up our manufacturing sector. You can't shop at Walmart and complain about lack of good paying jobs. You can't have it both ways.
