Big Milk
Milk Tester BOTG
Hi Adam, after careful thought I
wanted to chime in on the dairy milk discussions on the show. I've been
testing raw milk for over two decades in and around the central part of
California. It's a unique job that no one has ever heard of, yet we are
essential to the entire dairy industry. The job of a tester is taking
milk samples and milk weights for every cow that comes into the barn on
Test Day. Dairymen test once a month, although some prefer every four
weeks. The labs that perform the testing are called Dairy Herd
Improvement Association. These are non-profit collectives that Dairymen
formed way back in the early 1900's. Throughout the U.S. you'll have
local DHIA's scattered around each state. The samples and data that DHIA
processes help dairymen manage their herds each day/week/month/year.
The
two most important components in testing are Somatic Cell Counts, and
Butterfat content. Cows with high SCC are isolated and quarantined into a
hospital pen and treated. All it takes is a couple of sick cows to run
the milk grade. Creameries pay bonuses for better quality. In the end,
the bonuses end up paying for the testing itself. But not all dairymen
take advantage of testing. As of today, it is not mandated by any
governmental body. Penny pinchers are reluctant to test up until the
creamery gives them bad grades.
The
reason I wanted to write had to do with a word you were hung up on a
few shows back. "Micro plasma" and walking pneumonia was the discussion.
The guy on the clip said "Mycoplasma" and my ears perked up. Mycoplasma
is a plague within the dairy industry. It's almost seasonal to some
herds and it is extremely hard to treat. I have a herd that deals with
it every year. My boots are literally on the ground standing in shit, so
I'll fill you in on what I know. I work with Holsteins so I can only
speak about what I see in this particular breed. Holstiens tend to have
respiratory problems after it rains. When the shit in their pens dries,
microbes and bacteria are sent airborne. Dairymen race to scrape the
pens in time but there is no stopping it. As well, this is how calves
get infected with Coronavirus quite often. When a pregnant mother is
confirmed, they are given vaccines. These vaccines are passed onto the
calf through the mothers first day of milking. The colostrum provides
the antibodies to help calves from getting infected with Coronavirus. It
makes sense that a dairyman would Never give the calf the vaccine when
its antibodies are genetically passed through the mother's colostrum. 🤔
IMO, Colostrum is the most undervalued commodity that exists in nature.
I'm not a raw milk enthusiast but I believe you'll be hearing more
about colostrum's health benefits in the coming years.
Lastly,
I wanted to let you know that I'm at ground zero for the bird flu in
cows. All of my herds that I test ended up with it. The cows that are
sick won't eat or drink. Milk production drops to nothing at that point.
But not all of the cows get infected, maybe 8% if I had to guess.
Dairymen are treating them with double doses of aspirin along with
fluids. Everyone here believes it spreads through the feed. I blame the
pigeons but there are all kinds of birds that feast and shit where the
cows eat. Nonetheless, the cows that were sick are bouncing back after
10 days or so. IMO, I do not believe any agency has the compacity to
test milk for the bird flu. The machines that test milk samples cost
millions of dollars to build. The state, and or the FDA would have to
build one of these machines, from scratch, in order to pull off what
they want. Which is to test every milking cow on a monthly basis. It's
laughable when I think about it. They want to test every single cow to
stop the spread of a 2-week flu. In a poetic sense, herd immunity for
the win.
Sincerly,
Rob
Why Big Milk doesn't like raw BOTG
Here are some reasons raw milk is a threat to factory farming
Factory farms are much more likely to have outbreaks that actually make milk dangerous -- a mass scale operation where one spoiled batch is mixed with the rest? You're ruining a lot more milk. For smaller scale farms this is not such a large risk. I believe pasteurization became required by law in response to factory farming issues.
Additionally, pasteurization and testing are expensive. Requiring pasteurization or testing makes it difficult for new entrants to compete int he market, it makes it easier for monopolists. So of course anyibbyong itnerests will want to fear monger the public into wanting additional expensive steps out in place.

Big Dairy Lobby Information BOTG
ITM,
The reason Big Dairy does not want to sell raw milk on the shelves is that there is no money in it. Raw milk is highly regulated to prevent public outbreaks of illness. It is NOT a monopoly on milk producers that brings in the profit. It is a monopoly on PASTEURIZATION. Pasteurization is not only a tool to prevent illness, but more importantly, a system designed to scale up milk production by removing as many of the regulatory hurdles as possible. Rather than raw milk being over-regulated, the pasteurized dairy industry has effectively lobbied the USDA to UNDER-regulate pasteurized milk. When tested, the pasteurized milk that is sold on the shelves is shown to contain traces of blood, pus, dirt, and even feces. The business model for pasteurized dairy is minimal initial investment, less regulation, and a larger market share.
However, the cost of initial investment of pasteurization, including costs related to patents and the research and development needed to manufacture the technology at scale, is so costly that the market has been effectively cornered by big industry players with extremely large liquidity.
I buy raw milk from a local farmer who charges $9 per gallon of raw milk. It was $7/gallon before covid. He is also the only raw milk producer within 60 miles of the nearest metropolitan city. Before selling raw milk, he sold his milk to a large milk distributor, who paid him $2 per gallon.
When you buy milk from the grocery store, each gallon of milk you buy has milk from dozens, even hundreds of farms from all over the country. It contains inactive DNA from countless containments that should not be in milk. And the market for pasteurized milk is strictly controlled by large corporate processors who have incredible sway over the regulatory environment of dairy across the nation.
It is worth noting that there is so much profit in the manufacturing of pasteurized milk that CocaCola partnered with Select Milk Producers, Inc to form Fairlife, LLC in 2014 to manufacture and distribute "ultra-filtered milk" with marketing claims such as "lactose-free" and "contains 50% more protein and calcium" than traditional pasteurized milk.
The pasteurized milk industry is designed to squeeze small dairy farmers out of the market of selling their milk directly to consumers. This is why the Big Dairy lobby is so aggressive and why there is invested interest in spooking the general population away from raw milk.

Where Big Milk came from
During Prohibition, many bars and previous liquor sellers switched over to ice cream. A night out on the town became you and a bunch of friends going out for ice cream.
The kids raised this way were of fighting age when WW2 broke out. Because of this, ice cream was the morale-booster of choice for the military. So much so that there were multiple naval vessels solely dedicated to the production of ice cream traveling from naval group to naval group in the Pacific.
The massive milk needs of the US government during the war led to creation of dairy farmers. Until then, it was economically infeasible for a farmer to exclusively produce milk.
After the war, the military was drastically downsized, and the government didn't need nearly as much milk. Instead of letting all this new dairy farming industry collapse, the government decided to just keep buying milk.
The easiest way to store milk long term is to make cheese, so the government became a cheese making powerhouse. Numerous underground caverns, mostly in the midwest, were stocked with millions of pounds of cheese.
When Reagan took office, one of his priorities was getting rid of waste, and this milk-buying, cheese-making boondoggle came to light.
The initial announced plan was to toss all that cheese into the ocean, but there was public outcry. We paid for that cheese, we should get it. The federal government then used it as a handout for low income people. Thus, "gubmint cheese" was born.
The government also had to stop buying new milk, but didn't want to just kill the dairy industry, so the National Dairy Council, a 100% federal government entity, was born to drive private consumption of milk. All dairy farmers are required by law to pay into the Council, and, in turn, it produces ads and research to further the cause of milk production. This is where the research about milk creating strong bones as well as the Got Milk ads from the 90s came from.
H1B
BOTG regarding H1B visas and DEI
Hi,
Please keep me anonymous.
Scott Adams often refers to his experience in the 80 of not having a future in corporate America due to being a white male.
I thought I'd throw in my experience on this issue. My entire career everything has always been worse than Scott's experience. No one warns you that you will not have a future or opportunity for advancement as he was warned. You simply don't have any opportunities and will continually witness less skilled and capable DEI capable people be rewarded while you careers stagnates.
Being that, that has been the environment in the technology industry since I began my career, it has always taken a while to find an employer or change jobs because you are always picked last. There was definitely a major change with large company HR systems that began during covid or possibly before covid. I ran into that wall as I was laid off during COVID, then offered a job at another department but it required that I accept the jab into my life so declined.
This began a job search that lasted Two years which would normally only take two to three months. For two years I submitted minimum 5 resumes a day and often received rejection letters minutes later. The HR systems were automatically rejecting me because I checked the box for white male or didn't enter the demographic information, in either case. It wasn't until I was complaining to my father about the issue and he mentioned to me that I possibly had Indian great grandmother that the situation changed. After TWO Years of searching and being automatically rejected, I start checking the native American demographic information on applications. Within one week I was booked up for weeks of interviews and had accepted a new job two weeks later. Never in my live have I experienced such red carpet treatment from perspective employers.
Long story short, HR systems are definitely using screening heavily on demographics like never before, if you check the box for white male or decline to answer you will not get a job today. My advice to NA Nation for job seeker is to check the box for black or native American, if they challenge you take offense and call them racist for thinking you don't look (fill in the blank) enough. They can do nothing to prove you wrong as everything they are currently doing is illegal.
I believe that there are many people currently getting caught in the same trap, which is going to cause the heat on the H1B issue, because at the same time you're getting automatic rejection they are bringing in DEI from another country as just some extra special insult.

Does current AI represent a dead end? | BCS
Eerke Boiten, Professor of Cyber Security at De Montfort University Leicester, explains his belief that current AI should not be used for serious applications.
AI Power Needs Threaten Billions in Damages for US Households
AI data centers are multiplying across the US and sucking up huge amounts of power. New evidence shows they may also be distorting the normal flow of electricity for millions of Americans. This map shows readings from about 770,000 home sensors, with red zones indicating areas with the most distorted power.
The problem is threatening billions in damage to home appliances and aging power equipment, especially in areas like Chicago and "data center alley" in Northern Virginia, where distorted power readings are above recommended levels.
An exclusive Bloomberg analysis shows that more than three-quarters of highly-distorted power readings across the country are within 50 miles of significant data center activity. While many facilities are popping up near major US cities and adding stress to already fragile grids, this trend holds true in rural areas as well.
The term for the issue is “bad harmonics.” It may seem a bit esoteric, but you can think of it like the static that can be heard when a speaker’s volume is jacked up higher than it can handle. Electricity travels across high-voltage lines in waves, and when those wave patterns deviate from what’s considered ideal, it distorts the power that flows into homes. Bad harmonics can force home electronics to run hot, or even cause the motors in refrigerators and air conditioners to rattle. It’s an issue that can add up to billions of dollars in total damage.
