"NORTH PLATTE, Neb.—Angela Jones feels fortunate to have landed a job at the new meatpacking plant in this stagnant prairie town she’s long called home.

Over at X, the TDS crowd is whining that this will increase meat prices. I suspect the vegan/vegetarian segment will applaud. The rest, worried more about how to make decent Beef Bourginon for festive meetings of the Living Wages Committee, are convinced that adding ten cents per pound at most to the price of meet is a disaster. Must blame Orange Man Bad!
