That also plays well into my point that instead of arguing about the existence and cause of climate change, we should be figuring out how to deal with it.
Yeah, quoting butter prices was only half an argument. It didn't seem like butter was moving off the shelves any slower, but that's an impression, not evidence. Could just as easily be explained by lower inventories rather than sustained demand. Hell, could even be explained by my shopping patterns over that period.
It's always struck me as kind of funny that so many people in this country are so dead-set against government "interference" in their businesses, when their businesses only exist because they're in large part propped up by the government in the first place. OK, maybe "funny" isn't the word I'm looking for.
