One of the things my ex mother-in-law complained about, when they first returned from living in Japan (military), was that our culture had not adapted to better protecting those around them. Sick people there, would wear a mask, so their coughing, sneezing, etc., would not contaminate those...
We have been asked on here before, not to get into political discussions. I tried to answer your questions, without really getting into party sides, as best as I could. While some of your information is older, and has already been debunked, it would be difficult to continue without crossing...
They've been dumping milk like that for many years. When there is too much of a surplus, it causes prices to drop too low. Farmers can't afford to sell it that cheap. They get supplemented for what they dump.
