No, butter is good! Really good! Especially the butter from pastured cows. I live for Irish Gold butter lol.

I like to mix the heavy cream until it is close to butter and put it on English muffins with strawberry preserves. Almost like clotted cream.

Sounds great, the story about a butter shortages is meant to scare or rile people up when equal or better alternatives exist although not a convenient as buying sticks of pre made butter in the store

The milk section at my local Midwest grocer has been rather bare recently. I can still by milk, but over half of the shelves are empty.

[AAABEST]

lmfao!

[Ellendra]

Over the last year, butter prices have gone up by more than 24.6%

I'm seeing butter prices at 2x and even 3x the price compared to last year.

Getting a dairy animal is high on my priority list for after my house is built.

Exactly!!

Strategy: Create a scarcity of an item (like butter) real or imagined. Raise the price. Sell it out fast to hoarders at the inflated price. Make lots’a money!

Rinse & repeat.

In addition scare people into believing that government comes to the rescue who probably has millions of tons of butter in stockpiles

“A butter shortage isn’t going to help the President’s effort to end hunger in America. “

...I get the biggest kick out of seeing the average “hungry” American. Some people in my office organize a “feed the hungry” thing every year. They take pics for Facebook of course, because why would you do anything charitable without trying to make a buck from it. Everybody in line for food is 50lbs minimum overweight, wearing Air Jordans and have Apple 12’s or whatever. Pathetic.
