Lithium might help some on here with their moods...

As long as you keep it in a vacuum, or under an inert atmosphere. Perhaps in those apocryphal "air-tight slabs".

Oh, and don't handle it with ungloved fingers!

 

WOW. I'm used to paying more for milk here (NC) than where I grew up (MD), but for a couple of months now Kroger has been selling skim for $1.49/gallon. Aldi is at $1.68, and I think they sell whole milk at the same price. It was higher than that 30 years ago when I was in grad school.

For a couple of weeks Aldi was selling milk for $1.08/gallon. I suspect an inventory management problem.

I love cheap milk, but I'd rather not drive the dairy farmers into bankruptcy.

 

I had to check as I buy Lactose free milk.
But regular milk is about $1.89 a gallon at Meijer here for 2%, Full, etc.
There's an Aldi here to but I rarely go there.

 

Here in Oregon it's $4. But everything in Oregon is expensive.

Gov't artificially deflates the price to make it affordable for everyone. True cost of milk is $8 - $10 per gallon, depending on feed/pasture/overhead etc. Last time I checked the farmer gets about 25 cents per gallon in a commercial setting.

Ran a dairy for 4 years. No money there. In fact, in general, no money in food whatsoever . . . unless you've got a niche heirloom organic product and deliver to Beverly Hills.

Where's the money . . . ? Luxury items. There's our 'common sense'.

 

wrong kinds of Farmer there in Oregon maybe

 

I'm not worried about that. I am in it for the short term, a year or two maybe, and monitor it daily. Right now it is going strong. I'm going to ride the wave while it lasts. I have no idea how long that will be. All I know is that my portfolio since August has gained at an annualized rate of 40% and it is made up of only about 15% lithium stocks, but they have contributed a large part of that growth.

 

Thank You!!

 

Yup My grandpa got the same price for his milk in 73 that dairy farmers get now. He was able to retire with a few bucks in the bank, Now here the mennonites take on farms with a triple generation to pay the bank I have heard. 99% of our small herd dairies are gone now. Its Real Sad too.
I spent a long time on a 200 head dairy farm, Doing everything. I can say I liked tractor work better than the parlor.

 

Well, it'll be robots in the parlor, soon enough . . . Really all the guys are doing lately in the ones that spin are dipping the teats and latching on.

 

Ha ha that's what they made me do 30 years ago, Milk 150 head 3 times a day . Wash and Repeat literely, LOL

 

Yeah I think we hit Day 900 without a day off and thought . . . maybe we might rather do something else . . .

Never did get tired of the milk though.

 

Man! You have NO IDEA how much I had typed that first. That and stay on the Thorazine.

 

Just where is that Thomas Paine now that we most need him?

 

No sales tax in Oregon...they tax the vendor, not the vendee.

 

How many weed farms replaced milk farms? I never really cared for milk myself unless it had nestle Quick powdered chocolate with it.

 

You seem like a pretty sharp cookie.

 

WHAT IN THE HECK DOES ANY OF THIS HAVE TO DO THE PRICE OF SILVER GETTING CRUSHED? (Cited from: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/silver-getting-crushed-today.276936/page-153)

 

This thread has the dumbest title on the site — based on what silver was doing on April 1, 2016. I wish someone would start a new silver discussion thread and ask the moderators to close this one.
