In 2006, Tyson gutted their Norfolk plant so no competitor could buy it. It's sat empty ever since. Now they've closed Lexington instead of selling it, killing competition and manipulating cattle prices. That breaks the Packers and Stockyards Act. Tyson isn't above the law.

NEW: Tyson plans to lay off 30% of Lexington, Nebraska, on January 20 when they close a major beef processing plant. Residents are panicking. One worker told us he doesn’t know how he will feed his children or pay for his house. And 3,200 layoffs are just the tip of the iceberg. Without the largest employer in town, many small businesses are also at risk.

Tyson is shutting down its Lexington, Nebraska plant in January 2026. That’s 3,200 workers gone in one shot, the largest plant shutdown in company history. Blame Trump’s tariff chaos and the lowest cattle inventories in decades. Tariffs jack up costs. Supply shrinks. Plants close. Towns hollow out. This single closure wipes out nearly 5% of the nation’s daily beef capacity. Add another 1,700 jobs lost in Amarillo, Texas, and it’s obvious what’s happening: the beef supply is under stress and workers are eating the fallout.

Congress promised development in Kerala in their manifesto but before believing in their manifesto, keralites must see the condition of Wayanad. Gandhi family is MP of this constituency from last 7 years and they didn't do anything for this area then what they will do for state?

Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts tells Drop Site News he is standing behind the legality of Tyson’s decision to close its Lexington beef-processing plant, despite the Packers and Stockyards Act barring such plant closures aimed at price manipulation. The plant employed 3,200 Nebraskans in a town of 10,000 people before it shuttered on January 20. “They are not violating the Stockers Packyards [Act],” Ricketts told Drop Site’s Julian Andreone, mangling the name of the law that could protect the town from total devastation. Ricketts had previously told reporters he was “taking a look at” whether Tyson violated the law, as his independent opponent Dan Osborn has alleged. Watch: Julian Andreone | Senator Pete Ricketts

This was performed 2 days before they announced their enlistment and that was almost 3 years ago and here we are. 5 days away from the full homecoming! These rappers who spit fire when they rap can also sing and serenade us. These guys are so versatile and talented. Amazing!

JUST IN: 57-year-old Mike Tyson will be fighting 27-year-old Jake Paul on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas aired on Netflix. 🔥🔥 “Crazy to think that in my second pro fight I went viral for knocking out Nate Robinson on Mike Tyson's undercard," Paul said. “Now, less than four years later, I'm stepping up to face Tyson myself to see if I have what it takes to beat one of boxing's most notorious fighters and biggest icons. Within just two and a half years of founding MVP, we're about to produce the biggest fight in history, a fight in the biggest NFL stadium in the US, broadcast live, on the biggest streaming platform in the world -- a testament to all we've accomplished in such a short amount of time.” Mike Tyson will be 58 by the time of the fight.

I said this in my preview two days ago. I just knew Arteta would do it. He will try to replicate what Newcastle did on Monday, and barring their end product, they did it well. I suppose the one consolation is that our bench is excellent. Let's see what happens.

Mike Tyson had the same energy on UFC fighter pay more than a decade ago👇 “They gotta be fu*king millionaires, they gotta get the money they fu*king deserve…Why they gotta fight for 20 years to have fu*king two little cars and a small house?” ———— Ariel Helwani: Do you think there will be a time when MMA becomes bigger than boxing—where it dominates the headlines, like boxing once did? Tyson: Listen, in order for these guys—for MMA to actually be like boxing… um, I’m getting mad, I don’t want to say that, no… Helwani: No, please, get mad. I want the passion; we want to know what you think. Tyson: Nothing personal to no one… (whole tone changes) They gotta be fuking millionaires, they gotta get the money they fuking deserve. These guys need to be multi-millionaires. They need to have their big fuking mansion, their big cars, and if they’re not, they need to just take care of their family. They should be known to be able to live without fighting no more. Why they gotta fight for 20 years to have fuking two cars and a small house? Why they gotta do that? They’re still getting brain damage. They’re still getting knocked out. They’re still going to the hospital every night—win, lose, or draw—so why can’t they live the life of a god? Like the gladiators, they know something bad is gonna happen eventually—why can’t we live a good life until that happens? Helwani: So you think they need to put on a show a little more, right? Like put themselves out there? Tyson: No, they put on more than these people deserve. They need to get paid. They don’t get paid enough. Helwani: So you’re saying the MMA fighters aren’t getting paid what they deserve? Tyson: I’m just saying Ultimate Fighting fighters are not getting paid what they should be getting paid. Helwani: The UFC? Tyson: All the fighters—MMA, UFC—I don’t care what fighting team. Tyson: You know a guy like this guy—what’s the guy’s name—Anderson Silva. A guy with his record and his performance and how easy he’s beating people, this guy should be a multi-millionaire driving around his little fancy car, if he’s that person. I don’t know. You know, I see him getting fancy and slick, if he’s that kind of person, with his Rolls-Royces and Bentleys and fancy cars… and that don’t mean nothing, but he should have his security, that’s the main thing. He should have his security if he wants to do that. That’s what makes superstars. Even though they go fu*k their money up with their cars and the strip clubs and all that stuff—that’s headlines, that’s paper, that makes them a superstar, that makes them legends. Helwani: So how do we get this? I mean, there are no guys in our sport that are really talking like you talk. There are no guys who are really putting themselves out there—a couple, well… Tyson: Oh, there are guys out there. There are guys out there. You haven’t heard of them yet. They’re out there. You’ll hear about them too. They gonna change the game. Helwani: Is it a union, maybe? Tyson: These MMA guys are gonna change the game, man. Once these guys start getting 10-million-dollar purses, 15-million-dollar—‘cause once they start doing that…see, they got the people now around them, they got all the masses of people right in MMA…they ain’t get the scumbags yet. Helwani: That’s the big problem. Tyson: They ain’t get the scumbags yet. You get these guys some big purses and let them be in the paper like my purses and Floyd…wait ‘til the scumbags get in that sport. Listen, this is the biggest growing sport in the world, and they ain’t get the scumbags yet—that’s amazing. (🎙️: Ariel Helwani / July 3, 2012)

Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005 and forcefully expelled all the Israelis. And what did the Palestinians do? They burned down the greenhouses that Israel had left behind and elected Hamas as their leaders in 2007. The amazing Debra Lea says it best.

If a studio made a game like this in 2018 that originally ran on hardware from 2013, imagine what they are cooking a decade later. No game will come close to GTA 6 for at least 20 years after it releases.

When a place like Lexington loses a plant, folks talk about “3,200 jobs gone.” But that doesn’t even begin to cover it. If you’ve ever lived in a small ag town, you know exactly what it means: It’s not just the plant. It’s the truckers, the feed guys, the vets, the school, the diner, the whole rhythm of the place. All tied to cattle. All tied to that plant. And now it’s just… gone. The thing is, none of this is surprising. Tyson saw the herd shrinking same as we did. National inventory’s at a 70-some-year low. Everybody saw it coming. But they didn’t pivot. They didn’t help fix it. They just pulled the plug and moved on. And now everyone’s scrambling to figure out where the cattle go, how far the trucks have to drive, how many drivers we’re short, whether the other plants can even keep up. That’s not a supply chain — that’s a house of cards. This is why we started going direct. Why we stopped waiting. Why we built it small and regional and local. Because this kind of thing? We knew it was coming. And to the folks in Lexington — I know what it feels like. We’ve seen it up here in North Idaho too. One decision in a boardroom states away and your whole town gets hollowed out. Tyson’s not coming back to save anybody. Neither are the other three. So don’t wait for a fix. Don’t wait for permission. Start building now. That’s what my family did. That’s what we’re still doing. Save Beef. Save Local Communities.
