I don't know how each voted, but I do know this sale had to be approved by CFIUS.
The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) that approved the Smithfield Foods sale to Shuanghui International Holdings on September 6, 2013, likely consisted of the following voting members, based on their roles as heads of relevant U.S. government departments and offices at the time:
Jack Lew, Secretary of the Treasury (Chair)
Eric Holder, Attorney General (Department of Justice)
Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Homeland Security
Penny Pritzker, Secretary of Commerce
Chuck Hagel, Secretary of Defense
John Kerry, Secretary of State
Ernest Moniz, Secretary of Energy
Michael Froman, U.S. Trade Representative
John Holdren, Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy
Non-voting ex-officio members likely included:
James Clapper, Director of National Intelligence
Thomas Perez, Secretary of Labor
This list is based on the officials serving in these positions on September 6, 2013, as confirmed by historical records of Cabinet appointments and CFIUS membership structure. Janet Napolitano’s resignation on the same day as the approval suggests she was still involved, though Rand Beers acted as interim Secretary of Homeland Security thereafter.

Fuck that. No kings, but also not ruled by laws. We the people run this shit. Force through strength, even if that force is the pies of psyops to take you fuckers down and create chaos.
>That explains the shit quality.
I can't tell except that their bacon strips are thin. That should be a crime. One of the board members from that decision is extended family. I avoid the subject and the person. Too close, not my place (could make difficult relationships I care about in the middle), and don't think I would get an honest answer if there was something to cover up.
That said, S&C being involved + CFIUS is where focus should be. The business people, while perhaps informed about NatSec to a small degree, aren't responsible for it. Even then, I will never trust their fake patriotism again. They should have known better unless they were coerced or under duress.
>>>23296356 BlackRock's ETF Holdings Top 700,000 Bitcoin; Far Above Saylor's 'Strategy'
WTF are they talking about. Blackrock doesn't actually own those. They are assets in a wrapper owned by the shareholders of the ETFs. Blackrock just takes a custody fee and maybe has it's own allocation which they're likely planning to spread across their asset allocation portfolios.
MSTR actually owns all of their almost 600k BTC. BIG f'ing difference. MSTR is likely to be the biggest company in the world someday.
>Industrial animal housing not outdoors with sunlight and real grass iirc.
probably not good, though I would also look at the waste pool effects on local water tables and the biogas.

Damn, now all the dems must think POTUS is on the list. They must be scouring the internet for crumbs. Damn shame…
