I’m just trying to figure out the original meme. What was the joker right about? His speech on tv wasn’t bad, aside from the insanity and murder, but it really wasn’t a rallying cry or a thesis. It was just a dude who’d been failed by the system five times too many, and the resulting flailing backlash.
If the oligarchs continue to squeeze us, then they deserve the results
lol
is being squeezed “Hey! I’m warning you!”
gets squeezed harder “Any more of that and I’ll do something, mister!”
harder again “This is your final warning!”
harder “One more squeeze from you and you’ll be sorry!”
Be the change you want to see
It’s an incel meme. You shouldn’t think too hard about it.
For each 1kg of cheese you need around 10kg of milk. Add labour and storage costs - specially relevant for aged cheeses.
This.
Time and space are major impacts to the cost when aging.
And cheese needs to be moved when aging. Like flipped over. This is done all day, every day, at the larger places because they have so many blocks of cheese. And it loses some weight as it ages. Not as much as alcohol, but some.
It’s similar to things like alcohol. Champagne bottles must be turned every day. Whiskey in barrels loses upwards of 2% per year as it ages, so a 40 year old cask has lost eighty percent of it’s volume, while sitting in a cellar and taking up space.
Don’t touch those champagne bottles every day, where did you get that from?!
“La part d’ange” (the part for the angels) is real though, so you sacrifice a bottle every like 15 years (depends) to top up a handfull of others.
Whenever I hear someone complain about things being expensive, I’m reminded of this:
“It ain’t expensive, it’s just that your salary is low”
Why not both?
With sufficient money literally nothing is too expensive. This is a singular universal truth of money. No matter it’s form.
Be it currency, power, influence, territory or goods. With enough all things are with in reach.
It’s why fundamentally no matter what form of economics humans or animals have had in all of history. The more you have the better.
This is such a universal truth that even animals and plants are beholden to it.
With sufficient money literally nothing is too expensive
The succulent on your windowsill… apparently
Right. But just because the wealthy can easily afford concert tickets doesn’t mean Ticketmaster isn’t also price gouging.
Expensive For That Thing (e.g. a $10 banana) is a subcategory of Expensive
Try making it sometime, you’ll realize it’s barely above the cost of the raw ingredients.
It’s not profitable, it’s heavily subsidized by the government
In order to meet a rising global demand for cheese, farmers must produce more cheese than they have in previous years. As a society, we have done fairly well at using the best/easiest land to raise cows on for raising cows. Additional cows to produce more milk require either working the same lands harder, which requires bringing in feed, water, and minerals, as well as increasing the risk of diseases, and thereby increases the price of the milk for making cheese, or else raising cows on new, typically less favorable lands.
Some industries can offset this rising cost with improvements to technology, or finding areas of the world with lower labor costs, and some governments support agriculture through tax policy, or subsidies to help keep prices low. From 1949 until 2014, the US government ran a program to buy cheese when the price fell too low, and sell cheese when the price ran too high, in an effort to stabilize prices.
I don’t know if it affects dairy directly, but there’s a screw worm infestation in Mexico spreading to the US that’s having a huge impact on beef.

Considering lactose intolerant folks love the product so much that they will endure whatever digestive hellscape lays before them, and them not being shy about bragging about it, I’m not surprised Big Milk raised prices on cheese. They know what they have, and they know people will pay.
~Econ 101: supply and demand.~
Conversely, as someone who is lactose intolerant and doesn’t want to shit themself, y’all can keep your expensive cheese cause it ain’t worth it (unless it’s on a burger or pizza, then break out the nose plugs).
The expensive ones don’t have lactose so you must have a protein allergy instead of or in addition to your lactose intolerance.
…cause it ain’t worth it (unless it’s on a burger or pizza…)
🤣 Like I said. 😉
Daduq is up with cheese, wherever you are? Do you consider nonfermented coagulated milk cheese? Because a real cheess, that was actually aged (even like 3 month young Gouda) should not contain any lactose anymore.
Most cheeses you put on a sandwich here in Estonia aren’t aged very long at all. The ones you eat as a snack are.
Also some people who think they are lactose intolerant, will still get diarrhoea from lactose free dairy products. These people actually have milk protein allergies I suspect. Because some of those people also can’t eat wheat products.
My ex is one. Milk, aged cheese or just plain white bread. Or even ducking pasta. All make her shit violently.
Wild, that sounds nasty.
Atrocity costs money.
