Blames both parties, infants aren’t talking points get this solved now!

I thought this piece would be biased one way or the other but it actually just blamed the FDA and politicians on both sides were trying to get score points by making this political one way or the other. Babies don’t give a shite about left or right, but they do care about starving, fix this mess.

Asking democrats to care about babies is like asking Hitler to care about Jews

It’s a fact that the FDA screwed up and it’s a fact that this administration should have been handling this months ago. But it is also a fact that the Republicans are blaming illegal immigration and seizing on this crisis to feed their own hysteria. It’s also a fact that trumps policies made it harder to get baby formula from Canada, none of this can be disputed. That’s how facts work. Unlike you I can blame the person I voted for for making a terrible error, I doubt you could do the same.

Such a lazy statement, and one used by lefties to give carte blanche to the government to takeover an industry.

GOVERNMENT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. Now you want more government to fix it, when less government is what is needed. Stop applauding the pinko lefties at WaPo. They are NEVER unbiased.

It’s almost like you don’t realize how allergies work and how babies can die, but yeah sure breast-feeding. Clearly you’ve never had children.

Trumps policies made it almost impossible to get formula from other countries, and the Republicans are the ones who allow these corporations to run wild and control 100% of the market. It’s also Republican corporations who can’t follow proper health guidelines and caused their own corporations to get shut down due to deadly bacteria being shipped out to babies. Maybe it can happen to one of your children and then you can see how it feels. Of course I can only pray that you’re not procreating .

Can someone speak from personal experience as to how bad the shortage situation really is?

My sister is due next month and they were planning on bottle-feeding their baby as she historically has had problems with latching.

The border problem is not hysteria. It is factual. The fact that you don't like that the administration got called out for giving priority of baby formula to illegals shows exactly where you lie on the political spectrum.

"Trump's fault". You're such an obvious leftist goon. Go back to blindly following the potato.

Of all the shite Trump did that Joe was able to whisk away with the stroke of a pen, how did this one get to stay so entrenched?

It’s extremely bad right now, and if you know anything about babies you cannot just switch them from one formula to another.

People are hoarding the formula, people are hiking the price is up to $60 for a one supply bottle, The FDA supposedly says that this will be solved within two weeks or a month. Not every baby can breast-feed due to allergies and other issues. It’s extremely painful for a baby to have to switch, it can cause terrible pain and the baby will scream for hours on end which isn’t good for anyone. My nephew is four months old and is going through a really hard time because of all this and it’s really awful to see. No other country in the world is going through this problem right now, only in the United States. And due to FDA regulations and monopoly by 3 to 4 companies that own all of the domestic baby formula, it’s created this massive issue.

Which policies are those, specifically. Please give me the link to the policy, bill, edict, etc...

The best part about this thread, is you didn't even make it 3 posts before going from pretending to not be a leftist, to the MSM's knight.

Most of the Republicans who don’t understand this issue, it’s a shame really.

I bet the left and their psychotic, authoritarian fleecing of the Canadian logistics industry over these vaccines had NOTHING to do with that.

Why tf are we relying on Canada for baby formula anyway? This argument reeks of straw.

Most of the Republicans who don’t understand this issue, are more than likely single, incels, they are like the guy who shot up the grocery store recently, they’ve never seen a woman let alone felt one, and the last thing they want is a baby, so they really don’t have a very good understanding of what’s happening.

I'm sorry to hear about your nephew.

The situation is simply outrageous!
