Now it's baby formula. Tight supplies, worried parents driving to other towns and states. My niece is scrambling to find some right now.
We are truly a third world nation. This crap didn't happen when the mean tweeter was in charge.
FJB and everything he stands for.
Shortage of baby food... let's force people to have more babies! Fucking hypocrites
shareYou sound like the fan who blames the coach because the player dropped a pass. Not everything is the man-in-charge's fault.

True, but sometimes it is. The baby formula shortage did not crop up in the last two weeks - it's been going on for a long time now. The FDA is the prime reason for the shortage, and the Biden *administration* has done nothing to help the situation up until now. Now that it's getting headline news, he's looking into it. Anything he could do now could have been done last year.
Not everything is the man-in-charge's fault.
The baby formula recall put a ding in the supply. Shipping what wasn't recalled/what's being made now down to the come one, come all southern boarder has turned that ding into a gaping dent. #FJB
shareThe FDA is absolutely the primary culprit for this shortage. Over-regulation and a completely unnecessary recall and a Biden administration caught once again without any foresight of a looming crisis. Now they’ll turn around and investigate the manufacturers for pricing or something else and reduce even further the chances that any other producer would want to enter this heavily regulated industry.
shareI guess the GOP doesn't care about this problem...
"The House on Wednesday passed a $28 million emergency spending bill to address the nationwide shortage of baby formula.
Rep. Rosa DeLauro, the Democratic chair of the House Appropriations Committee who authored the bill, said the money would pay for additional U.S. Food and Drug Administration staffing to boost inspection of formula at domestic and foreign suppliers, prevent fraudulent products getting onto store shelves and improve data collection on the infant formula marketplace.
The bill, known as the Infant Formula Supplemental Appropriations Act, passed 231 to 192 in a vote mostly along party lines. All House Democrats supported the legislation, along with 12 Republicans who bucked their party leadership to support it. Four Republicans and one Democrat did not vote."

You didn't read the bill, did you?
It does almost nothing to address the shortage, or redress the reason the shortage exists. The problem doesn't need 28 million dollars to fix - it just needs competent leadership instead of pandering.
