Supply is very low right now. Sucks for your sister since she can't stock up without knowing what formula her child will be able to use.

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.



The reality is that Democrats own this crisis and Republicans are trying to exploit that, per normal. No, illegal immigration probably has no/negligible impact on supply. but yes, Democrats have shown a propensity to care about making sure illegal immigrants get formula while disregarding concerns of taxpaying Americans.

I doubt you'll admit the latter part, which is the entire point.

I edited my above post because I was angry and I shouldn’t of said it. I appreciate this post it’s actually nice and I pray for your family as well and I hope that you don’t have to deal with what my families going through.

I hope that everyone’s babies and families can get the formula soon and this can stop being a heated political issue. I’m obviously stressed and upset about my nephew and of course I’m mad at Joe Biden‘s administration and I’m mad at the FDA and I’m mad at the corporations and I get irritated when people joke about babies suffering and they’re in pain and it’s really hard, and in today’s age it’s very easy to get upset, I shouldn’t of said what I said and I apologize . It just sucks that’s just the bottom line.

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.

To the point about illegal immigrations, and babies dying on the border I don’t wanna see that shite and I’m sure you don’t wanna see that, I believe legally speaking we have a right to feed babies no matter what, I don’t wanna see anybody’s baby starve whether they’re brown or illegal or whatever, but I really think that that’s not the issue I think that it has more to do with certain policies allowing corporations to monopolize and, other countries not being able to ship in formula to help in this crisis .

Hey dumbfrick. He was very clearly joking with the pic of a bikini-clad woman with an enormous rack. Maybe calm your hysteria and you’ll catch things like that.

Sending formula to illegals and to the Ukraine during a shortage is such a bad look, and even worse when Trump is running on an "America First" agenda. They played right into his large, virile hands.

Although the babies don't care, there is only one political party and the agencies they have responsibility over that are to blame for the shortage.

Pretty convenient to include the Republicans when they have no authority over what took place.

Using the crisis for political points is what happens and this crisis just happens to hurt the left.

Yep. Leftist lawmakers "regulate" smaller companies right out of business, then blame the capitalist for the resulting monopoly while taking massive donations from that same monopoly.

If you read my post after it, I said it in anger, and I apologized for it because it was not correct of me to say. I’m just really stressed out because of family stuff and the formula and everything else and I probably shouldn’t have even made the post at all because I knew it would just make me more upset. My fault.
