FoodMaxx radio ads promise that their milk prices will always be the lowest that the State of California will allow. Rhetorical questions that immediately come to mind:
1. Why is it any of the State of California's business how much FoodMaxx charges for milk?
2. Even if it were the State of California's business, what's the point of a minimum price on a staple of life that, meanwhile, the government is giving people welfare to help them afford?
(You already know the answer to these, right? It involves an incredibly powerful lobby of dairy companies who pretend that they're doing anything other than naked rent-seeking.)
