Try to remember the 80/20 rule (may not be accurate with those exact numbers) 80 % of people on here are invisible and rarely make themselves noticed.
The vocal minority skews perceptions but are often rather noisy about their opinions…which is just like my opinion, man
Well some of us still prefer accuracy and or precision whenever possible. Doesn’t seem like a reason not to in this instance.
After the last decade or so, some of us prefer as much disinformation removed from our lives as possible.
Scumfuck needs to hit his trillion dollar payout somehow
So join ICE and starting shooting american ICE officers. You have immunity to kill US citizens apparently if you do so might as well use it for good
They DON’T
Unless you are doing that on purpose, then well played lol
it’s like eye bleach when reading
I’m only half joking when I tell people the current state of the world is because Queen Elizabeth the Second actually died
I think the best response, because it amuses me greatly, is to reply simply with “as if”
I wait to see if they figure out that I’m just pointing out 2 words they missed saying at the beginning of that phrase to make it resemble what they intended.
Humble bundles and GOG also things to keep an eye on.
I probably should have phrased that differently such as “because we all watched Mythbusters?”
In my defence, it was late/early and I want thinking good
Men wearing clothes like that to an office job isn’t a thing? Or clothing kind that for men isn’t a thing? Having recently gone to a rave I can confirm clothing like that does in fact exist
That would be the staring vacantly part of the description above, I think?
Yeah! I’ll throw an edit to this response later! Just got to an event and the edible just kicked in. Have a great night!
Sorry it should have been understood that I meant eliminate it from the cost comparisons between it and it’s alternatives.
I thought I did a good job of saying even if you eliminate the dairy subsidy it won’t affect the cost of the by products used enough to stop them from being used. Because there is too much by product. Scale back all of the excess to just the amount that people will actually consume and not the excess created and still the remainder won’t have enough uses to use it all.
There’s many factors that contribute to the price of dairy product. Dairy is used for a wide wide variety of things. I don’t think that subsidies are a relevant factor in the case of the waste products. If dairy wasn’t subsidized, dairy wouldn’t stop being used and those waste products would still be created and we are back to where we already are. If those waste products are still going to be produced, there may be less of it but still far more than needed and so there is still excess
I’m not overlooking subsidies, but I don’t see that is relevant. Since the subsidies are not in anyway for the production of dairy by products.
As an example where I am they are subsidized to create a system that will never run out of dairy as a consequence of WW2 era rationing my country decided we will never have a dairy shortage again. It was and still is(or just had never been reassessed) deemed too important to have milk and all the things they can do with it and how powerful it is as a source of nutrition in tones if scarcity because it ticks a lot of boxes.
Also the alternatives are also subsidized so I don’t see it being a useful point to consider.
So if you are calculating the cost of this by product to costs it’s cost effectiveness against the alternatives you also then have to calculate those subsidies for the alternative options as well. And if we eliminate subsidies from both sides of the comparisons then those other options sky rocket and only makes these by products relatively cheaper to use. Being that the alternatives subsidies are for the alternatives themselves. The key thing here is that it’s a by product of another product(s) and will always be available in quantities that are unable to be fully utilized anyways
They just won’t stop making dairy products even without subsidies. And if they stopped subsidizing it there would be a significant reduction in the amount produced, but as I understand the industry that won’t make a dent in the amount of these by-products needed given how little of it is actually used compared to how much is produced. I might be wrong on that but it is how I understand things to be and is what’s informing my opinions here.
Yes.
but if the demand is because it’s cheaper to use that product instead of alternatives, then the price can’t raise too much until those alternatives raise in price
And if there is no other user for it then that’s just where the price will stay
Iirc yes it is much cheaper because otherwise it’s a waste product
Chipotle mayo/spread if available. Mayo if not. Also got sauce. Depends what I have in the fridge
