Well well well, every now and then Smithfield hits the papers, and its always around the time of bonuses, cutbacks, and layoffs.
So how does this affect my good city of Smithfield. Lets call out some important, but not so important members of the WHOLE customer aspect of it.
Smithfield is full of pig %*&&, and so are valued employees like Bob Darrell, Steve Kapsner, Vernon Rose, and Ms. Angela 'backstabbing, and backbiting" Bowser.
Hope your job doesn't become "downsized" anytime soon. You'll be standing with a whole lotta of your employeez in the EppiCard line!!!

No sympathy for pig torturers.

The government needs to realize that ethanol is not the answer. They need to stop forcing the country to adapt to their idea of alternative energy and let the free market decide.

Hopefully Smithfield can think of ways to lower overhead/costs to create profits. Jacking up the costs of their products and passing the costs to the consumers isn't always the right solution.
