In short: The Facebook page for the Leiden Albert Heijn (Dutch Supermarket Chain) poorly photoshoped out the part of the picture below calling for a 14e minimum wage: "Minimum Loon 14 Euro". When the national office was asked about this, they said, "Well, yes it is understandable why they did so."  https://www.vice.com/nl/article/pke9yg/supermarkt-leiden-vakkenvullers-photoshop

Also I like that the way you get rid of milk is apparently by just opening a random valve half-way down a random pipeline and letting it dump out all over your factory floor

Jesus that story is infuriatingquote:Umhoefer says giving the milk away themselves could also crush the dairy industry. They've asked the USDA to step in to buy back the milk to then donate it to those who need it. But instead of just giving the milk away to people who literally can't buy milk right now, we'd prefer to just destroy it so nobody can have it. You know, to get money back to that dairy farmer.

The article made sure to go into great detail about how it was totally impossible for food service factories making 10lb bags of shredded cheese to be retooled for retail 8oz bags and other similar issues. The logical next step of just, y'know, selling to individuals or discounting to give to food banks or other community resources just didn't seem to occur to anyone. Beep boop, those are business bags, peasants need not apply.

Shame Boy posted:Jesus that story is infuriating I mean, isn't this already a long standing program? like government cheese and all of that came about as part of government dairy price controls the US has a long history of basically a command economy in agriculture and massive subsidization -- with good and bad outcomes; a fair chunk of it is exactly the kind of vote buying politicians love to complain about

thanks to just available natural resources and a lot of investment in land production and agricultural subsidy, the US has pretty great production potential and very low risk of any real food issues it just has lots of dumb outcomes for price stability to keep farmers, producers, and consumers all happy and to spread things out dairy producers chasing $$ all overproduce which will crater prices so the government buys it up to dump down the drain or stockpile as cheese/dry milk/etc because they'd rather have that then the dairy producers go bust and risk underproduction; and this is likely with other subsidization on the input side as well they'll pay a farmer in Illinois to not rent out or farm land to lower overall production and then subsidize a farmer with terrible land in Colorado so they don't go bust simultaneously etc etc

Farming in general as a practice in America only exists off the borderline free labor of migrant workers and making your 12 year old kid drive a tractor as part of his "chores" When Obama was doing some better working conditions poo poo one of the things was laws regulating farm work and the Right lost their poo poo and all these farmers were bitching and moaning how child labor laws would make it so their children would skip out of doing their weekly(i.e 30-40 hours a week) chores. I knew someone who was raised on a farm but according to her the farm her parents ran was the only self sustaining dairy/meat farm in the state and the vast majority of farmers were uneducated morons who basically trip over piles of govt handouts to keep their ramshackle failure of an operation going.

They actually pushed it farther back than it was before Obama iirc, with the inevitable result being (among other things) a 12 year old sinking into the grain in a silo and being crushed to death But it teaches them the value of good hard work you see

The logic to it is super weird too https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/11/congress-exempts-small-farm-deaths-osha-inspection/576010/ quote:In 1999, following the death of a teenager on a Rhode Island farm, Democratic Senator Jack Reed of Rhode Island introduced an amendment to allow osha to investigate fatal accidents on all farms, regardless of size, if the victims were children. Like I think congress just really really wants to kill and maim farm workers? OSHA's not even allowed to give safety advice or training to them if they (as in, the owners of the farm) ask for it.

And of course the moment something interrupts the supply chain of petrol fertilizers, migrant workers, and DRM'd tractors it's all gonna collapse. Protip if the government has to constantly act to keep the farms from collapsing maybe the farm system we have is not good. I suggest land reform and communism.

The idea that you can make it and become the boss, the American Dream since we started genociding Indigenous peoples, the endless desire the Buddha warned against.

If you want to really enjoy this, go on rentals.ca. Suddenly Toronto and Vancouver have thousands of listings in brand new condos, for thousands less than listings put up last month. 2 Bedroom condo on Queens Quay for 1500/mo lol
