Interesting Quote:

“The unrelenting pressure of trying to keep up with the line has encouraged widespread methamphetamine use among meatpackers. Workers taking ‘crank’ feel charged and self-confident, ready for anything. Supervisors have been known to sell crank to their workers or supply it in free in return for certain favors, such as working a second shift.

For obvious reasons, a modern slaughterhouse is not a safe place to be high.”
