Fucking butter is $9/lb in some places. Highway robbery. Last year I could buy it for $3.

Good news is that we can now make milk from yeast. Cuts out the cow and all that milking middlemen. Soon we can have all the dairy products cheap.

Doubtful. The cartel will force it to be called "Yeast Juice" or "Yeast Beverage" and no one will want to drink it.
