This must be a parody account or something. I can’t imagine anyone dumb enough to actually believe farmers will produce milk to rot ad infinitum without it ever being purchased. They couldn’t maintain production level without consumption even if they wanted to.
you talk about it as though there are only two people, and each only needs to make one decision: the farmer whether to produce, and a milk drinker whether to buy it. there are dozens of actors and factors.
If people stopped buying milk at current levels, then it would not be produced at current levels. The dozens of actors and factors would all be a part of that decrease. The market would shrink, not dissappear necessarily.
The events were that demand decreased. Yes, demand could decrease in the milk market. Whether or not it will is a separate question. They are different in that the market decreased in the former and not the latter.
all the people involved in those markets were making decisions distinct from the people making decisions in the milk market. I dont think we can find anything so conclusive.
Because if we don’t, milk farmers will just continue producing milk for what reason exactly?

Every decreased market that ever existed should be sufficient. Fondue pots and miter boxes should get you there.

that’s not a test. it’s a survey. I’m looking for a test for your theory. I think it is undisprovable.

We can. There’s no way a commodity will be produced at scale without a market for it. It happens all the time. This is some high in a dorm level cope.
