"Equal pay for equal work" in remote jobs

I think there is another angle here too which is whether or not milk should be a staple. The market could function properly. It would mean people drink less cows milk and more other milk substitutes which could be good for everyone in the long run.

I'm actually vegan, so I'm here with you there, but my first priority is calling out free-market-evangelism where I see it.

By the government subsidizing milk production you are in a small way,via taxes, supporting the dairy industry. If you're vegan for health reasons I assume you don't care, but if you are for ethical reasons I think that should make you a bit uneasy.

The free market can empower to make their own decisions on what they think is moral. In most cases that's a much better choice than the government deciding for you.
