Good as in worst president in the last 100 years. How anyone can think he was good is beyond me. Again, his NUMBER ONE JOB was to protect Americans. He failed miserably at that...because he lied his ass off, and it's on record.
A military plane carrying enough specialty infant formula for more than half a million baby bottles arrived Sunday in Indianapolis

Your hot take is all bullshit you pulled out of your ass. Not well thought out at all.
You can go to the FDA website to read their report that they were caught off guard. They have since formed a new group between the department and manufacturers so issues like this do not happen again. AND they thanked the other manufacturers for stepping up and going into overtime to try and make up for the shortages, but they could not make up for such a large amount.
FDA has regulations for the expiration date for baby formula so these stockpiles you think there should be are not there.
Most things are beyond you. Trump fast tracked 3 vaccines. If your criticism is the vaccines don't work as advertised, that's not Trump's fault. Where do you think Trump got the information that he based his lies on?
On Feb. 29, Fauci gave an interview on the NBC morning talk show “Today,” during which he stated that at that moment in time, “the risk is still low, but this could change.”
“I’ve said that many times even on this program,” Fauci stated in that interview. “You’ve got to watch out because although the risk is low now, you don’t need to change anything you’re doing. When you start to see community spread, this could change and force you to become much more attentive to doing things that would protect you from spread.”
We timed it with release of the monkey pox. All of this stuff happening during an election year? Quite the coincidence!!
A: Supplies are coming from Europe, not Canada; that was my USMCA comment, which was one MAIN reason for the supply shortage to begin with.
B: USMCA restricted Canadian sales. Not JUST into the US, but internationally, before additional tariffs were put in play.
You cannot simply violate agreed upon treaties with some Executive Order.
But mostly Finance, and let's be honest.....this problem was created (mostly) by the private sector and the business model THEY endorsed.......much like the problems with "the supply chain"....I understand human reactions to "failure" is to look for a scapegoat...and the Government is always a convenient scapegoat......Remember Cohen's Law...."The government is the enemy until you need a friend"......
So NOW you favor more government interference and regulation in private enterprise? You guys change sides faster than I can keep up with......
Please....next time, gimme a "heads up"? and not a Monday Morning QB viewpoint.
It's not a "supply chain" issue. It's a failure of Abbott and the FDA on the front end, and the FDA on the back end. This issue started 8 months ago.
The decision to go to 4 main US suppliers is an FDA issue? Maybe because of how welfare product is distributed and the advantages that for the manufacturers alone creates....,.but the program was developed for the (economic) benefit of the formula manufacturers.....It's the FDA's fault the Michigan plant produced "tainted/contaminated" product?
Next plane arrives on Wednesday and more to come. Anything else for us?
How often are we restocking those Juarez warehouses? I heard the Juarez Shopper is advertising "US baby formula, 2 for 1" (cash and carry)!
This rule has been in place for years, though. I can understand the market getting caught flat footed if they just installed this change. But it has been around for quite some time now.
I just find it weird that the government has to be more adaptable than the free market.
Try to understand what You are about to read. The bacteria causing the deaths of 3 children was not found in the manufacturing plant, or in any of the recalled formula that was tested. A different type of bacteria was found in non-production areas of the plant.
Trump was anti vaxxer. He was telling people not to take them as they were being developed.
It's weird that the free market can't adapt to empty shelves when the rules stayed the same.
You do know it is a formula that is fairly unique, can be used only by less than 20% of people, so you have to wonder why Europe had some much of it laying around.
And as far as the "free market" goes, the FDA has to test and inspect, so probably hurdles to overcome. Again to your "free market" question - why is there really only one US producer? There is definitely something restricting the freeness
Does the extra shipping cost get passed to the consumer? That would be a several hundred dollar can of milk
Fascinating thread as always.
Republicans: Do something!!!
Democrats: Here's a bill.
Republicans: No!!
Democrats: Here's some formula from Europe
Republicans: Oh, like we're supposed to be happy you did something you bastards??!!

When have we ever imported a significant amount of infant formula from Canada? We are a net exporter of formula to Canada and have been for some time now - long before USMCA.
It’s completely absurd to think that imported formula from Canada would have mitigated this crisis. Canada can’t even stock their own shelves right now, let alone help us stock ours. Your Twitter echo chamber apparently didn’t inform you that Canada is also facing a shortage of specialty formula and their factories have been scrambling just to keep up with their own domestic demand.
Why? Because they normally get a lot of their formula from the United States, specifically the Abbott facility in Sturgis, MI.
Canada also has had to turn to European suppliers to supplement their usual sources. That required relaxing their own labeling standards, just like we eventually had to do. One of their normal requirements is that the labels have to be bilingual. Apparently a lot of people in Quebec speak French.
February 2022: Abbott facility in Michigan is shut down for health violations.
March 2022: Local shortages of formula start occurring. Democrats do nothing.
April 2022: Shortages become worse. Democrats still do nothing.
May 2022: Shortages reach crisis level. Store shelves in many areas are completely empty. Parents become desperate.
Democrats: “Shit! We need to find more sources for formula! Goddamn it, Trump!”
Right! Back in march the democrats should have rallied and started cleaning the plant themselves!
Of course, then you all would have blamed them for not doing it in February.
Anyone have the press confirm video from Jen when she laughed it off.
U.S. health regulators took steps to allow more foreign baby formula on American shelves, easing rules that had effectively prevented shipments from many overseas manufacturers.
We’re the victims of protectionism and a regulatory agency that shut down a plant it doesn’t think is responsible for an outbreak, and you’re blaming “free trade”.
What sort of Bizarro-world BS is that?
If you needed a post to prove you lost all touch with reality this would be it.
It's clueless, shows a complete lack of education and understanding and dangerous.
yes we should anticiapte all runs. And while we're at it, let's predict the powerball numbers too.
Not suprised you just ignore all the other dumb stuff before and after this. But hey vaccines got her a year later.
We'll ignore telling people not to worry about in the first place.
Trump was great everyone! Didn't endanger one person during the pandemic. CAN'T YOU READ?!

The Trump Administration failed to heed GAO’s recommendation to develop a national coronavirus vaccine distribution plan “that focused on coordination and communication” and established “a time frame for documenting and sharing a national plan for distributing and administering COVID-19 vaccine.”
