Why Your Bacon Might Cost More Soon

Heads up, grocery shoppers: Six big meatpacking plants just shut down, axing over 2,000 jobs from Kansas to California. That means fewer options at the meat counter and maybe pricier chicken or bacon for your next BBQ. Companies say it's about "efficiency," but really, they're swapping people for machines and moving jobs out of small towns. If you notice more empty shelves or higher prices, this is why. It’s not just about meat—these closures ripple through whole communities. #Business #Industry #FoodPrices
