[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that you can raise wages of farm workers considerably without the price of milk going to $10 per gallon.

Milk is about $2.50 per gallon now. Simple economic logic suggests that you could DOUBLE the current wages of farm workers, and let's even entertain the ridiculous assumption that 100% of the cost of milk is due to labor. Even then, which is a ridiculous scenario, it would be $5 per gallon.

More likely, you could double the wages of farm workers and it might go from $2.50 to $3.25, at most. [/quote]

$2.50?

Where do you buy milk?[/quote]

No kidding? The generic non organic at Teeter is $4/gallon. [/quote]

You must like getting ripped off. [/quote]

The milk at H Teets is definitely overpriced (especially as their non-organic milk tastes like shit).  [/quote]

The CPI says the national average is somewhere around $3.25, so the conclusion is that H Teet is totes overpriced, and Wegmans is crazy low.  [/quote]

I think the milk at Wegmans is a loss leader for them, it's one of the staples that gets people in the door then you get sucked in by the specialty cheese section and end up blowing an extra $20 on brie and chevre you don't need. :)[/quote]
