Baby food

[ZoraSpook]

Biden blames the formula companies for the shortage his FDA started my shutting down a production plant.

This is called shooting yourself in the foot.

Bon Jovi song applies:
Lyrics
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
Darling, you give love a bad name
An angel's smile is what you sell
You promised me heaven, then put me through hell.

Impressive list of accomplishments:
- Afghanistan
- US Border security
- Inflation
- Gas costs
- Energy independence turned to dependence

We import about 25% less crude oil now than we did five years ago.

Do you have a source?

Never mind, I found a GOOD one. You're right, we are producing a crap ton of oil..........then WHY are prices so effing high?

Artificially high.......IMHO.

Agree... and oil company profits thru the roof. Govt supported gouging to motivate go- green ?

Second thought. US producing as much as ever but other world sources produce lee/ Ukraine war disruptions. World market price rise so US makers export more at higher profit then selling domestically at lower price and earning less.

My solution, slow exports and isolate our needs from the world.

this was entirely Abbots fault. They screwed up and didn't keep the plant in good working order.

And greed by the oil and gas companies is the problem. Biden should take them over using the war powers production act and make them lower the price of a gallon of gas back to $2.00/gal

That I agree with, the root cause is the manufacturer failing to comply with govt standards and I sure wish the press would simply state the clear facts as you just did.

Good point sir!

In the mean while why not suspend federal and state taxes on gas at the pump.

Oh My God!
listen to yourself?!?!?!
no gas tax = no raises for congress.
Who the hell are you???
I swear if I didn't know better I get the idea you don't want them to make millions for never accomplishing anything.
just stop! you're making sense and it's embarrassing

I'm sorry, I was sober. Let me break out the Makers Mark and study for my Democratic Party Entrance Exam. :-)

The plant was a mess and was shipping out contaminated baby food. Also, the business model of the USA caused a lack of competition and left ABBOT as one of the only and major suppliers of baby formula. This is what caused the lack of baby formula. It was either feed your baby contaminated baby formula or no formula at all for a few days. This was All Abbots fault.

I don't know why we don't use Anti-Monopoly laws more. Abbott and 2 other manufacturers, purchased EVERYONE in the segment...........That , inherently is a bad idea, and allows anti-competitive behaviors .....

And I agree Abbott is at fault....but gubment inspectors and regulators should have had a better grasp of this issue, without shutting the universe down and causing the problem.

Food Inspectors are a JOKE.
