        The US government heavily subsidizes dairy. They also subsidize soy, but it’s $20B for dairy and $4B for soybeans. The price of milk is below production costs.

      Yeah and I’ll tip a dollar when they clearly know what they’re doing.

      The prediction was a bust, because I haven’t walked into any local coffee shops in 2024. I didn’t in 2023 either.

      I don’t know what the lattes cost because I don’t buy them. My coffee at home is great every day.
