Meatpacking: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

You should do something on manufacturing in general. Many manufacturing companies push their employees to ridiculous degrees.

That's the first commercial I've seen in years.

We decide with what we buy what happens in this world. Think before you spend a cent to the wrong guys... Buy local, organic etc

The laughable cappelletti peroperativly scream because building wessely fancy across a icy anthropology. numberless, tired currency

instead of taking out linconl statues, the people should close this companies!

Cheongju District Public Prosecutors' Office Hello S. Korean Prosecutor, I am the one who traveled abroad a lot and who had been suffering from depression 4 years ago due to my family's abuse and violence, and who were forcibly held by mob of the prosecutor's office with a small amount of MDA's income for treatment, had extreme depression and almost committed suicide. This is Lee Mi-jin, who was spied for revealing corrupt politician to the world. Can I ask a few questions? I haven't been in Korea for more than 20 years, and I have been traveling around the world on my own, meeting meditation teachers from many countries, meeting stewardships from many countries, and passing on the knowledge and experiences I have acquired to people all over the world. Do you still agree I have to pay $11,000 fine? Did you seize my computer for that small amount MDMA and spy all my personal data? And Why did you spy me? Do you know how many months have suffered from schizophrenia because of trauma since then? Did you know that my family, relatives, friends and colleagues have been branded as criminals and as criminals on my lifetime social security records? Did you have to listen to my private life by dressing up my best friend in elementary school as a coffee shop employee, and dressing up my 20 years old best friend as a spy at a yoga academy and at a bar? When I was threatened by teach the dharma and meditation in a Christian country in Brazil, I visited s.Korea again after 10 years, and went to the Taebaek mountain temple to ask for help in a place to meditate. But you trash me just because you believe women can not be enlighten? And the prosecutor had to dress up as a house buyer for spying me a flat? where I meditate for 3 month in silence. Did you came in my room and checked what I eat? What do I read? What I have that small flat?

In the 1970s, the meatpackers had the highest-paid factory jobs in America. The jobs were brutal, but unionized and mostly white blue collar workers. The companies moved the companies south and hired nonunion. They they bagan hiring immigrant workers at even lower pay. then they began hiring illegal immigrants at even lower pay. Then they donated to elected officials to create a visa worker just for them to hire more immigrants at even lower pay. people who say we need immigrants to do these terrible jobs are just pushing an open border corporate globalist narrative that destroys wages and job opportunities for American workers who used to do all of these jobs when they were not paid slave wages. Oliver always pretends he is sticking it to the man. When it comes to immigration he is the man.

That commercial reminds me of an episode of The State on MTV. The "Snuggles" skit

But whisper that you might try to improve conditions and you are clearly a communist driving American jobs overseas... Well, maybe these jobs need to be driven overseas. I bet they can't in all cases, though, and they could actually be forced to make this safer, but then, oh no, meat prices would go up! Perish the thought! We might have to eat less meat!!! 😱

Anyone else prefer him in the void? he gets to the point... not as many stupid prop jokes... and no laugh track from the audience or forced laugh que's.

When will we address the issue of why production lines are experiencing high volumes? Do we ignore our increasingly unsustainable demand for meat?

The absent iris gradually tap because cellar repressingly stare around a special maria. scarce, kind security

The tart editorial climatologically groan because anteater allegedly hope above a savory crook. nosy, sleepy carriage

As long as people keep buying cheap meat, these conditions will continue to exist.

In the richest country in human history .Modern slavery.

John Oliver has obviously not worked as a member of management in a union shop. Management is charged with following the workers around cracking the whip and writing up violations, while labor hides and slacks off whenever and wherever they can. Not all, but a lot. It's a game they play so leadership from both sides can sit down at the table once a month and trade violations for grievances. Totally unproductive and a waste of time, but that's life in a union shop.

The dutch government and dutch media, and an enormous amount of youtubers have been scattering my personal information over the internet for 3 years. They torture me and gangstalk me on a daily basis. They intimidate me with police cars. I want my privacy and human rights back now!

Namaste.

That's the shit you should be demonstrating on instead of pulling down statues and stuff. You got distracted by people who don't want you to endanger their game.

OK, so does anyone else notice the weird thing that's happening with John's glasses every time he leans back? It looks like his eyes are on fire

If that guy peed on the line, there must be pee buckets 🪣 and they all do it! I 80% only buy local. Now as I move towards 100% I’m gonna double check the working conditions of all the local farms and not just how the animals are treated. Thanks for this post!

The cool existence rhetorically practise because agenda ironically itch throughout a unknown island. educated, annoying manager

ouch, i want to live somewhere my children will have to do this job.... NO.

All y’all anti vegans who say “WHAT ABOUT HUMANS?!”, let’s see if you’re gonna boycott this disgusting industry who does so much damage to other animals, to us and to the environment.

If I didn't have obligate carnivore pets, I'd be just fine never buying meat again.

John stopped being satirical news commentator and became straight up investigative journalism news anchor.

Great. So it's bad enough I have to feel horrible about the animals. Now I have to feel horrible about the humans too?

In Germany we do not employ those workers. Instead they are self-employed. They have to rent the equipment from the slaughter house, life in together with other workers in the same room, and do not get health insurance (which would have been necessary if they were employed, as this is mandatory in Germany). As no German would work under these conditions, these workers come from eastern European countries which are associated with or part of the EU. If they get sick, they are send back home.

The cruel plasterboard mechanically screw because tenor strangely meddle aside a stingy ladybug. six, outstanding sleep

wtf is that? frozen (prob) cancer inducing meals is exactly what america DOES NOT NEED. & the Tyson "family" ridiculous.

John who talked 24/7 on Trump won't say shit about Biden

MyWestMichigan are clearly woke as fuck.

Yes Biden has no ties to big business. 😂😂😂

It’s a bribocracy, what does anyone expect here? Seriously, the U.S. is an obnoxiously stupid mess of fucking dumb. I gotta find some way to stop eating meat.

I'd love to work for Osha yet I have never seen any recruiting information about them. I once worked for an incredibly cheap boss. He refused to spend extra on anything. Cheap fixes all the way. The "warehouse" I was working for door collapsed down on top of me one day. Luckily I was in caged forklift. He wanted me to put it back together. I've never worked on one and knew it could be dangerous tensioning the spring. Spring was massive and over 40 years old, nearly slipped on me multiple times. That entire warehouse was just a fire waiting to happen. I've had other bad experiences in different workplaces. Employers know osha just isnt going to show up to enforce anything.

Oh and lets not forget getting tossed into the freezer when you get hurt to either make you quit, or to claim your not injured anymore, and then fired when the pain shows up again.

Just a fun fact, im throwing in there...no particular reason. 🤣🤣🤣 Keep doing what you do

the only meat packing you need to do is with your butt buddy Biden you liberal hack!

I missed this show! Life is slowly getting back on track

Tyson should do a job swap. Work the floors for a month.

Tax animal products and meat products to save the earth

The sweet luttuce archaeologically bat because group semiannually cover afore a quick knee. observant, clumsy tomato

The land of the free, HA. Good luck USA, the rest of the world is laughing at you in disgust.

That is how it comes when everything that sounds like "state" means "devil". Thank God I'm not living in the USA. And I am not working in this business. Horror!

So what's new u John peecock it's Just Classical Capitalism..

capitalism's face - by design profits before life.

1:47 Word Association: Tyson, Family = Mike, Wife Beater, Missing Body Parts

Anyone remember "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair? written over a hundred years ago about the meatpacking industry. Meat industry workers have been mistreated for, as Mr. Oliver put it, a LONG TIME.

OSHA - Original Sweatshop Hell of America

The anxious woolen experimentally expand because jump successfully park without a second-hand party. public, erect vein

Immigrants are in the jobs because natives are comfortable not working. Here is a solution: no welfare unless working. 4 hour shift work at chicken plant. For those that complain workers are not paid enough; you are the ones that complain about $1 chicken nugget.

1500 with COVID 19: 8 dead?? 0.5%, what happened to the other 2.5% that were supposed to die? Sounds like health care at Chicken Plant is pretty good? Perhaps the reason infection rate is so high is because the minorities you state are nuclear families with high levels of interaction based upon their cultural norms? Multu-generational plant workers?

Americans, you have to realize that every major industrialized country in the world has a national health insurance plan (UK, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Taiwan...). People do not lose their homes paying for overpriced healthcare. It is a human right and healthy democracies treat all citizens equally. The US is the weird exception, where Republicans have brainwashed many to think it is some kind of socialism (if so, then all insurance is, but it isn’t; who owns health?). Second, the Republicans stand for deregulation, which means that Trump and his ilk want to eliminate OSHA and all agencies that would hold companies to healthy standards, as this video shows. “OSHA has to be rebuilt” means stop electing Republicans who are for maximum profits for companies, not the well-being of the poor workers who work like slaves in such shitty conditions. This is 2021. Learn from the pandemic or die.

Why are so many people in this story grossly overweight? The managers, the workers, even the TV morning show ladies in Michigan?

The entire point of life: Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve. Mathew 20: 28. We are no different. This entire life is a representation of the spiritual warfare going on. Good vs evil. God isn't a flying man in the sky, but the actual representation of Love, Hope, Joy, Peace, Light, etc. Not metaphor, but literally, like an extra demintional wavelength of thought, emotions, and intent. The devil is the opposite wavelength, pain, fear, hate, anger, darkness, etc. Human life is serving one of these two. Not a man in the sky, actual sentient collective universal Love. However, humans are primatives, we make mistakes. It's in our nature, since the fall, to go down the wrong path. This means at some time each one of us has served darkness to some degree. God understands our limited understanding of our own actions, so he gave us forgiveness, though sacrificing himself in human form as Jesus Christ. It is our duty to accept that sacrifice, get the forgiveness, and be better, helping others be better, and spreading this wavelength of Love, Hope, Joy, Peace, Light, etc, thoughout the universe. But God had to make a way for us to get to this place spiritually, this is why evidence is not allowed. Evidence will make you believe, using the fear of absolute punishment to change your behavior, but that won't make you better, just scared. Faith makes you better. It is what redeemes us, not our works. Faith is the hope that things get better, that justice always prevails, that we're at least loved by our creator. But it has to be Faith in Jesus, because of his sacrifice. And there can't be evidence to point us to him, because Love had to be fair. If there were a code in our DNA, what about everyone born before genetic sequencing? If there were a book with the solar system thosands of years ago, what would stop an evil person from hiding/destroying it? If it were something you had to go to, what about the geographically isolated, imprisoned, or enslaved. If it were a train of logic, what about the uneducated, or mentally slow? Not to mention all the people born before schools. Love cannot give to one without giving to the other. So the key to salvation had to be something everyone has access to. The only thing is Faith. This is why God puts it upon your heart to learn about these things, even if it's only to criticize, or hate. God is everywhere, because Love is everywhere, and so is the devil, because hate is everywhere. They're in your head all the time, regardless of weather or not you accept that. They whisper inside your heart, giving you ideas. But more than that, they're inside everyone's heart. This is how they get things done. They corrordanate us like pieces on a chess board. The only difference is, we get to chose who's side we're playing for. At the end of our life, we go to that team's home base, Heaven, or Hell. A place where all that exists is those wavelengths. Hate, pain, anger, fear, darkness; or Love, Hope, Joy, Peace, Pleasure, Light. The choice is yours to make. But you cannot go to Heaven with hate in your heart. You must forgive, repent, and spread joy for those around you. These are sentient eternal controlling forces in our universe. Heaven and Hell are very real places, I've seen them. Those steps prime your soul for a meeting with God. Very literally. Once you've done all four, in that order, you get divine revelation, with all the evidence you'll ever need. They are, forgive your parents, brake down before Jesus, ask for forgiveness, and read the Bible. Step four takes three books to get the revelation. I recommend Genesis, Mathew, and then either Luke, Psalms, or proverbs. The order of the steps is important, step 1 has to come before step 3. I can state that for an absolute certainty that these steps always work. Please, take your salvation seriously. See for yourself. Do those steps. Jesus Christ is Lord. It's all True,

Can i quote Einstein here: As long as slaughterhouses exist, battlefields will exist, too.

I miss the fake laughs idk why but it made it funnier

John, evidently your worst nightmare is to be watch by an owl, John.

Please next episode about the brutal murder of khashoggi and demanding concrete accountability

John you should be next president of USA..

1) An ideology always has an unproven claim at its core, from which all other conclusions are derived. - Hannah Arendt. 2) "Eating meat is necessary for human health." (...actually, No.2 is not "unproven" - it's falsified) Google tip: "carnism".

"Same movement... It's non-stop..." Yeah, I'm gonna say a robot could do that without diapers or openly pissing under the line. We aren't very good at even being humans, so replacing these positions with robots isn't a huge foul. Aren't these the jobs exploiting migrant workers? Can we even human??

The puzzled bridge noteworthily face because employee uniquely admit versus a undesirable mailbox. chemical, panicky linda

The colossal cornet clinicopathologically occur because geranium descriptively grease failing a nauseating brick. flat, rustic archer

Looks like there are Corporations out there which wouldn't bat an eye reintroducing slavery if it just resulted in calculable fines.

I still don't get it why you don't upload the whole episode here in USlocals you force us to use Stremio to watch the whole thing. Keep in mind we don't like to pirate your channel but we don't have HBO in our countries. Please upload the the entire episode next time. Thank you ❤️

Boycott anyone?

The aberrant bull erroneously hang because collision osmotically delay per a damp cap. regular, fortunate encyclopedia

go vegan. It's a no-brainer. The animal farming and processing industry is a cancer on Earth. It couldn't be more karmic "coronavirus" - anagramm - "carnivorous". Organic plant-based agriculture and complete transormation of our cut-throat greed system needed urgently

USA UK NATO Europeans r FAKE champion of democracy and human rights

American crony capitalism at its best. America has propelled itself as a superpower by filling in all our heads that enough isn't good enough, ever. After exploitation of the workers world over, its coming back to bite them in the ass too. Karma is a fact.

Why not educate people on the option to not eat meat? At least give those who are willing to make a change the information they need to switch to a healthy plant-based lifestyle. In my experience, the majority of people are unaware that it is even an option (as they believe that meat is essential, when it isn't), and even those who are aware often feel it isn't a realistic option, because they don't know how to do it (and so they don't even try). Just giving people information on how to eat plant-based could ease the pressure on the meat packing industry (by encouraging those who are willing to go plant-based).

Pro DNC show, poor journalism that focuses on left wing ideas. Very annoying host that should be deported

just go fucking vegan HBO and John Oliver!

If you have the time and if you have a twitter account please use #DontKillItBernie with this message "Bernie Sanders, as Chair of the Budget Committee, decides what goes in the COVID relief bill. It's his decision on whether a $15-per-hour minimum wage is included in the bill or not. If he keeps it in, it forces the Democrats to vote on it and means it has a chance of passing. If he takes it out, it means Bernie Sanders is killing the increase in minimum wage himself. We, the undersigned, have a clear message: Don't kill it Bernie!" and sign this petition: tyt.com/petitions/dontkillitbernie If Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema are threatening to kill the stimulus bill over a 15$ min wage, we must call their bluff. In order for us to do that, the 15$ min wage MUST stay within the bill! Please urge Bernie as the Chair of the Budget Committee to not take the 15$ minimum wage, as this action will be used to throw him under the bus the moment corporate dems get the opportunity to do so.

Well democrats what are you doing about this? oh yeah, nothing. Talk shit now snowflakes.

Imagration amnesty and no border enforcement turned packinghouse jobs to shit in the 80's before that they were good paying jobs with little turnover

Miss Piggy has a sex tape and this is the first time I'm hearing about it? Also, who won the betting pool?

I always feel so bad as a human after watching John's show

danggggggggggggggg its still just as horridly bad as ud never give time to imagine yep. but for real its like one of those things where either we outright ban corporate lobbying in our republic politics and pray or we just give up and wait for it to implode so hard that we get flipped back to home gardens to survive

Okay, I genuniely feel sorry forr workers in these meat packing plants. But I work at AMAZON, and at least 20,000 of us tested positive for the Covid - and that was way back in Ocotober last year! Who knows how many of us by end of February 2021, right? I've voluntarily tested 4 times, and so far clean. But I have lots of friends that have gone missing for a couple weeks only to have been out sick with this dreaded virus. There's hardly a week or two that goes by, our Hub doesn't inform us of more associates that tested positive. Honestly - it scares the crap out of you working under such fearful conditions as these. We comply with all sorts of extreme government safety protocols, but you try wearing a mask every second at your very physical job in 10- and 11-hour shifts. Mentally, you feel like your gagging, or even suffocating; but physically, nauseousness and persistent headaches - probably from inability to breath freely. Fun fact: Around Christmas, we had a nearby sister plant close entirely due to such large numbers of Covid-infected workers. So yea, be afraid - be very afraid to work indoors around thousands of coworkers.

Amazon falls in the same category

this show is so informative and so stressful. gives me a new thing to be anxious and upset about every single time

It's sad how nothing has changed for way more than 100 years

This is what they used to do in San Francisco in the 1850s

You know what is really sad? Is that as a Researcher, and after looking at the available Covid-19 data in June of 2020, I personally contacted several federal, state, and county agencies to warn them that potential new Covid-19 Variants from Zoonotic transmission. I thought it could be the reason for the high density and lethal Covid cases in meat processing plants. I specifically asked if they were monitoring and testing animals used for food. I also asked if Covid could be spread if you came in contact with bodily fluids of Covid infected humans and animals. No was the answer I always got. Then we later find out that 10,000 minks (used to make expensive coats and hats) were killed here in the US because they contracted Covid and when it bounced back to the workers it was a crap in your pants and your buddy's pants scary mean Covid Variant. Same thing happened in Denmark and the UK! In July 2020 an animal conservation group asked the UK government to eradicate all the American Mink species because they were an invasive species in UK. In one instance, when they killed the minks and buried the animals the government made the Mink Farmers dig back up all those rotting Minks and they had to burn everything! No hides to turn into a coat! So back to meat processing plants... The workers who became infected at the Meat Processing Plants and went to the store, restaurant, or home to the wife & kids and mom and dad these workers became super spreaders of potentially new Covid variants. Remember, each time Covid-19 gets into an animal Covid adjusts (or mutates) itself to this new type species of life! And when it's transmitted back from animals to humans it can mutate even more. Even after 1 year no public studies have been done to determine what Covid variant each Meat Processing Plant Worker who got infected had. Nor has there been any public studies and testing of each animal that got processed. A sample of blood and some lung tissue from each would help defend everyone from a new variant of Covid! Sad... Very Sad!

let me throw another idea...... just STOP EATING SO MUCH MEAT people... And no I am neither vegan nor vegetarian. The average american eats more than 200 pounds of meat per year... That's ridiculous! you don't need so much meat. less consumption, less production, as simple as that...

Stop eating meat.

Makin me want to go vegan

Couldn't OSHA staffing issues be resolved by seeding individuals already on staff or intent on taking a position in production with OSHA guidelines training? There could be designs on compensation that don't encourage false claims nor permit the companies from undermining their covert observation. Our intelligence services are empowered to infiltrate where there is need to, handling informants who are willing to act in accordance with the government. What good is OSHA if it can't be and underhanded bastard?

Can anyone here share his/her idea on a better investment to go into right now that will profit me so well

Worked for six months in a bread factory in France. The conditions were like the Middle Ages. I sympathize. However no blood involved so not as bad. But working on a fast line is hell
