Podcast: Requiem por el Meatpacking District

Cuando el abuelo de John Jobbagy emigraba a Nueva York desde su natal Budapest en el año 1900, al llegar y establecerse, se sumaría a la fuerza laboral del país junto con una multitud de carniceros europeos que por aquel entonces se dedicaban a sacrificar,  despiezar, empaquetar y posteriormente enviar la carne y productos derivados a los distintos rincones del país, desde el por aquel entonces ruidoso y también maloliente rincón de Manhattan llamado Gansevoort Market, situado dentro del barrio que los neoyorquinos acabarían por denominar como Meatpacking District.

El pasado mes de Noviembre de 2024, y en virtud de un acuerdo histórico con la Corporación de Desarrollo Económico (NYEDC), los últimos siete empresarios de despiece de carne, miembros de la cooperativa Gansevoort Market Co-Op acordaron mudarse a otras instalaciones más adecuadas a la tecnología y estándares actuales de la industria cárnica, años antes del vencimiento del  contrato de arrendamiento aún en vigor hasta 2032.

Not as clear as I want it to be, but I'm trying to get into the habit of knocking out longer essay pieces without as much polish. Not because I want to be a less polished writer, but b/c I too often allow perfect to be an enemy of good.

Today in Labor June 30, 1906: United States Congress passes the Meat Inspection Act and Pure Food and Drug Act in response to Upton Sinclair's novel, “The Jungle,” which exposed atrocious sanitary conditions in Chicago meat packing industry. Sinclair intended his book not only to bring attention to the public health threat of the squalid working conditions, but also to the racism faced by Chicago’s largely immigrant meat workers, as well as the corruption of both the politicians and union officials. However, the public was most outraged by the prospect of getting food poisoning from the rotten meat.

Some "decommissioned #CoalPlants — sites that still sit in the center of webs of power lines could onboard future clean power onto the grid while avoiding the roadblocks around permitting new transmission corridors.

The Geomap researchers found that many of the West’s sites — #greenhouses, #meatpacking facilities, chemical plants and #DataCenters — sit atop heat that could be tapped directly, without needing to generate electricity, which is a cheaper proposition."
