The US government heavily subsidizes dairy. They also subsidize soy, but it’s $20B for dairy and $4B for soybeans. The price of milk is below production costs.

I haven’t seen a $12 late where I’m from, they’re usually about $4-5
Lately where I’m from, things that go on display for $4-5 tend to come with a $12 receipt

The prediction was a bust, because I haven’t walked into any local coffee shops in 2024. I didn’t in 2023 either.
