Hey man, don’t need to go that far. The concept and context of his argument are solid. Look at diamonds, for instance. It’s done, even if his example wasn’t spot on. Maybe. Where I am the dairy farmers are selling their cattle for meat, because the supermarkets have strong armed such low prices, they can’t afford to even operate. While the milk on the shelf isn’t cheap.

Don’t milk cows, lactation stops. No milk until the next calf is born. Outside the ethics of bovine milk, if the supply chain has ground to a halt, and food safety regulations mean you can’t sell warm, unpasteurised, unfiltered milk at your front gate (Yay, faeces and gravel) then it’s going to be tipped because it needs to be in this instance.

Not only that, but the gov. subsidizes our farms so we have food to eat. We produce and excess so we don’t all go hungry.

The us government famously has a cheese storage facility intended for just this purpose.

Well, not this purpose. It’s intended to allow the government to buy surplus at near market rates to subsidize the dairy industry.

But there’s literally a place to put it already paid for by your tax dollars.
