Sign if the Times

I'm not looking to shame anyone, or to start an argument. I'm just pointing out an interesting opportunity the current situation offers.
Back in the old days wealthy women would hire wet nurses to supply breast milk for their children. Now formula has only been around since 1951 and there have been some really serious scandals with the industry, Nestlé sold tons of absolutely worthless baby formula on the African Continent for quite some time after being forced to quit selling said product in the developed world essentially murdering who knows how many infants there.
Human breast milk simply is the best thing to feed human infants. Though it is, for some just too much of a hassle, apparently to deal with.
However, since the 1980s there have been a fair number of women selling breast milk. And at a good price.
Seems to me that right now would be a great time for women who are lactating to make a pretty decent price for their milk.
If I were both female and lactating I'd be pumping and freezing like mad.

@HootyTheNightOwl women have been legally selling their milk since the 80s. While there doesn't appear to be a massive inspection process, a person takes on extreme liability, and, if selling through the normal channels there is inspection and adherence to regulations. Let's not be...dim here, please. We are supposed to be adults, and in my mind that entails an obligation for staying well informed on a very broad array of topics. If all you have other than being informed is a knee jerk and negative reaction, please keep it to yourself.

@McGeeisme Lmao "I can't take any argument that isn't in strict agreement with whatever I say!!!"

Okay, I get it now. I'm sure you're absolutely correct. Facebook groups are among one of the most highly regulated places on the planet - and your baby will be 100% safe to consume whatever milk is on offer there. Yes, this happens and the more vulnerable may not know or understand what they should ask for prior to signing the contract... why do you think that the elderly are the easiest to scam out of their money via tech support scams???

Desperate people will resort to desperate measures - hence why backstreet abortionists pop up in places where abortion is too strictly regulated or outlawed.

But your "knowledge is far more superior to that of anyone else... so whatever you think is 100% correct and no one else should ever think or feel anything other than complete agreement with you.

@HootyTheNightOwl I'd.say you're just an angry sort, looking for social media brawls.all the time. Probably about 5'3 or 5'4", acne ravaged face because you simply don't wash it often, living in a basket room at someone else's grandparent's house, chubby bare feet filthy on a greasy bit of carpet that's not been vacuumed once in the 14 years you've been trolling the internet from that room, the aroma around.you a melange of piss, dirty ass, sweat, old pizza,yeast, and an odor of rotting flesh which is you because you haven't bathed in so long you have a skin disorder that is simply rot.
You enjoy wandering around attempting to be a badass in a realm where even 9 year olds can get away with that because there is simply no one there. You expend vast amounts of soda pop fueled energy trying to bully and abuse nothing but a screen. What a dreadful waste of flesh.
