I see there's a bunch of rich Republicans in here, paying less than their fair share for a key resource.

Where I'm at we've been paying $10/gal for milk for at least a year now.

Somebodies making big bucks off your area. At that price, you could quit your job and haul milk in from the burbs.

So says another rich Republican. It's provable that there is no milk shortage, in fact, there's a glut of milk. Your rich Republican buddies are jacking up the price of milk to $10 on purpose. F'ing 1%ers...

LOL are you drunk? I guess whiskey would be cheaper for cereal than milk at your prices.
I'm not rich or a repub, and roflcopter at my 'buddies' being rich republicans, if any of them gave 2 craps about AT forums they'd laugh themselves right out of their thick rimmed glasses, red sock hats, and skinny-jeans. Yes, most of my buddies are kids from my youth group that have grown up (technically speaking).

Unless joking, then carry on 🙂

Oh noes!

Reading the article it seems there is a bit too much meddling as it is (not that I'm advocating that milk should double in price). Milk is seriously cheap at $3.65/gallon by industrialized standards, I suspect. Canada appears to pay around twice this, England possibly more after a quick googling (doesn't that verb sound dirty?).

Again don't like posting in a lopped thread but wondering why it's OK for him to post a thread about rising milk prices and doesn't get shit for it like I do.
 
Any time you hear some politician say "We need to do something about that," we are in trouble. Then we get some idiotic law like the health care bill with all of its communist agenda policies that take away our money and drive up the cost of an already costly system. Too many idiots, and too much paperwork to do the same thing.
 
Stopped drinking milk and eating dairy a year or so ago and don't miss it 1 bit... I drink almond milk and it taste great. Cows Milk is actually not good for human health no matter what the dairy industry lobby will market to people. A cows milk is in nature to provide nutrition for a baby cow to grow (nothing to do with humans)... Same thing is human breast milk is used for human baby's to get nutrition and grow.
 
Milk is gross anyways... I try to not consume it unless it's in a product. Almond milk all the way.

Humans shouldn't be consuming it anyways... we're the only species that drinks it. It's nasty.
 
The milk price will be where it's at where the consumers are still willing to buy. If it's too expensive, there will not be enough consumers to buy the product. Which means a lot of spoiled milk on the shelves.

They get paid the same whether the milk sells or sours on the shelves so they don't care.

So, basically, what you're saying is that it would be better if we could milk human women (in theory) to obtain the milk we need for drinking milk and dairy products?

He's probably right. However, the idea that cow's milk is for baby's cows is an incredibly silly way to look at this. Eggs are intended to turn into chickens, not be eaten. Everything we eat in nature would exist without humans and serve some other purpose if not sidetracked into our bellies.

Looks like another rich Republican here folks. Probably getting your 1%er milk for $3-$4 dollars a gallon while the rest of us 99%ers have to subsidize your living. Another that needs to move to Somolia...

Dunno about better, but it would certainly be more fun. I wouldn't even mind getting up at 5 AM for THAT.
 
Every tax payer should pay $88 more in taxes (including interest on the borrowed money because it is deficit spending) so that the price of milk can be cut in half, resulting in an annual savings of $80, thereby netting the wall street washington crime syndicate a profit of $8 per taxpayer.

What part of Chicago?

I bought milk there not six months ago and it was no where near $10. It was around $4 and I thought it was interesting that it wasn't any more expensive than where I lived.

Edit: Nevermind... I didn't see what you did thar...
