Well you will throw a stone at something.
The only thing that has prevented it so far is food stamps and Medi-Cal.[/quote]
Shoveler, it’s not just EBT/WIC and Medicaid/CICP. The CO meat plant workers also have access to limited free dental care, college scholarships based upon need, free maternity and well-baby care, free delivery services provided by local midwives and birthing centers, free counseling, free STD testing and free diabetes tests, among an array of other esoteric goods and services geared to this population.
The above services are all donated by private organizations and individuals.
It seems the local well-heeled cohort value this population and don’t want to see them on the street. Many of them undoubtedly grew up in rural farm homes themselves and KNOW FULL WELL how hard the work is in the plant.
Most of them now enjoy their full freezers in the garage stacked with a variety of home-grown meat, cut just the way they like it … as they ALWAYS have. They have l-o-o-o-ong memories and for this, they are grateful :=]
