    He demanded opening up way before it was time.
    He tried to reduce testing, not increase it.

    Overturning Roe v. Wade will only make things worse in the shitkicker states.

    I wish those fucking rubes would learn to throw a bag on it.
    brain dead moron blames breeding - but countries with much higher birth rates do not have this problem.

    they also don't have a Dementia Joe problem.

    Here is a list of ways the government has caused this particular mess, and an explanation of what the Brandon Administration could have done or should do to fix it:

    1. There are only 3 companies that have contracts with WIC for formula, this disincentivizes new companies from producing the vital necessity. Only once there already was a shortage did the Administration actually try to ease the restriction with WIC only paying for the formula from the 3 producers. This one is the fault of the Administration who knew the shortage would come after the recall but literally did nothing at all to fix the problem until there was a problem. What could they have done? Signed some contracts with some new producers or release the requirement of only purchasing formula from one of the 3 with the contract. What did they do? Wait for the problem to come to a head and then suddenly realize that this was one way they could relieve some of the problem.


    2. The 17.5% tariff. Once again with supreme lack of foresight, even knowing there would be an issue, the Brandon Administration has done nothing to reduce the disincentive for foreign producers to export any formula to the US. The only person currently working on fixing this one is a republican Senator (Nancy Mace) who has introduced a bill to reduce this at least temporarily.

    3. The Defense Production Act, this Act gives the President broad powers to increase productivity during emergencies. While both Trump and Brandon invoked this act to produce items to combat the pandemic, this particular issue (baby formula) happened only under the watch of Brandon who has failed to invoke and so far only has acted too little/too late in his patented anti-Midas touch. As far as I understand Brandon still doesn't think these children are important enough to invoke this provision which would allow him broad powers to aid in production of the vital necessity.

    All of these issues will still exist after this particular lack has been restored and a redo of WIC is something we should put on the table. We need to stop limiting the production through these contracts.
    U.S. plants had a forced recall after bacteria were found in a Michigan plant. trump deregulated the food system before the pandemic and that included safely processing and delivering food to Americans.

    Formula was being stockpiled because of Covid so sales fell for awhile. Then there was an increase of births in early 2022 so demand grew again and supply couldn't keep up.

    trump's new NAFTA discouraged buying from Canada yet you're blaming Biden about reducing disincentive. I recall how righties, probably you too, praised that agreement, because you never foresaw that it could cause a problem in the future. You gambled and lost on that one.

    I don't know where people were getting the vax *before* Biden took office but it sure as heck wasn't in PA.

    It was only available under an Emergency Authorization. Damo volunteered for the experimental group. Hat's off to him for doing so. Biden's staff, either by accident or design, gave the impression that Biden was solely responsible for the vaccine in the market. That's not true.

    OTOH, if we want talk about real facts, why did it take Trump almost six fucking months from finding out about the severity of COVID and activating Operation Warp Speed?

    It's one thing for a politician to spin the truth to their advantage, but it's another to lie to the American public and hide the severity of a global pandemic with lies and conspiracy theories.

    I don't remember him ever saying that, once. Like I said - the WH tweet last week was the 1st time I ever saw the claim.

    Possibly.

    How is a lack of baby formula Biden's fault?[/QUOTE]

    1. The FDA has failed to approve European brands of formula for use in the US. Joke has made no effort to force the FDA--he controls--to speed up that process.
    2. At the same time, the FDA has been quite fast about forcing mass product recalls on baby formula for isolated incidents of sickness or health issues related to these products.
    3. Some of this is a distribution issue, rather than a shortage. Joke's new regulations on trucking have resulted in a massive shortage of truckers and insufficient numbers of new ones entering that job field.
