Honestly, the idea that America has a network of cheese caves makes the country a little bit more awesome.
The best part is that dealing with old mines is a big issue (socially, land use wise, and environmentally). Re-purposing them as cheese caves has me howling.

In Switzerland we have the tradition that for every kg of gold stored in a bank, we have to keep an equal value of cheese in the vault.
Can I apply to be a government cheese handler? Chilling in caves all day, cool, comfortable, snacks...
I mean yeah you'll need to download your music and Netflix for the day but I'm willing if the pay is right.
We should stop subsiding dairy. In fact we should release all the cheese all at once to counter greedflation
