    I feel for the cows and hope that those that need milking are still milked and, in general, that this strike does not lead to animal neglect. Other than that, good on the union for fighting for better conditions.

      They will just raise the price of milk again to 7 dollars per litre, then I’m stuck paying for it, no loss for the corporations… fuck everyone, I’ll buy my own cow

          I have a stash of nonfat dry milk for cooking because it’s cheap and has a good shelf life. For cereal and coffee I use almond milk because it’s tasty and doesn’t come with that perpetual “has it gone off?” cow milk has.
