North Korea brags about baby formula in an apparent dig at U.S. shortage...even North Korea is laughing at us now

[struth]

Welcome to Xiden's America....the Dembots finally got their wish and got the US, looking like NK

 

[Hang on Sloopy]

The point is the leadership knew this was coming and did nothing to help lessen the burden like asking help from countries like Canada, Mexico or Germany to help fill the void for the time…

I know how dare I write something that could help and not write something more trollish…

This jergoff is hopeless. Obviously sizzled his brains in the 60s

Farmers fertilize their crops with their own shat. The world needs to to a better job with its crap production.

Shirley there is enough shit to go round

The problem is -- both Reps and Dems allowed this industry to be monopolized by 2 or 3 companies .....which is anything but "a free market" - but if it gives dishonest conservatives a chance to blame it on Biden, let's not let facts get in the way

Awww, and what political party does Biden belong to?

Dishonest dic suckers like yourself forget Biden has been in politics longer than you have been around, so yeah he owns it…

I know don’t you wish Trump had won so you could blame him instead?

 

[marvin martian]

You seriously give a darn with an authoritarian country, which would not help the US if it was being attacked by aliens from outer space????

You think it is funny that a man who is killing his own people would brag and laugh at something the Biden administration has no fault?

If it happened under Trump, it would have been ok?

Because IT WOOULD have happened under Trump and he would have had to do something about it.


This is the company which produced the baby formula's responsibility, for allowing it to happen and coming to this. It is not the first time a car, or food is recalled under any administration and it will not be the last.

It's hilarious that in your world, Joe Biden is just a confused, elderly bystander to the events in his administration. He has nothing to do with them, and no way to effect them at all. Is that what you voted for?

Joe Biden is not confused at all. That is something the Republicans have been attempting to make as true since the primaries.

What does Joe Biden have to do with that company and the way they messed up the baby formula? Does he own shares? Is he on the board?

Does every President have total control over every company?

what does the person that enforces federal law have to do with how a company does business? really?

he doesn’t sit on the board, but the board has to do what he tells them.

Moreover, he’s known about this since Feb, when the company voluntary recalled products.

Xiden could have, at any time allowed imports…he didn’t…he didn’t do anything until now when the shelves were empty and babies were going hungry

Now Xiden has to approve when the plant reopens…what’s the hold up?

I do not know what laws you are talking about. You mean to blame it all on the President. By all means keep turning him into the know it all and the doer of all. Let us politicize it because that really, really helps.

And that is all what it is about, politicizing an issue which would never have been politicized before.

Here are some facts:

A shortage of baby formula has provoked misleading partisan claims that suggest President Joe Biden is responsible for the “bare shelves.” But the shortage has been caused by a recall and plant shutdown by a major manufacturer and ongoing supply-chain issues due to the pandemic.

Baby formula has become increasingly unavailable in the U.S. over the last 10 months, reaching an out-of-stock rate of 43% for the week ending May 8, according to data collected by Datasembly.

That rate had remained below 10% from the beginning of 2021 through July, and rose sharply after a product recall in February by Abbott Nutrition, according to the data.

Although the problem had been building for some time, it became politicized in the last week, prompting President Joe Biden to release a plan on May 12 for what his administration will do to address the shortage.

That plan includes easing regulations on the production of formula, cracking down on price gouging and importing more formula.

The U.S. shortage has been driven largely by a recall from Abbott Nutrition, a major manufacturer of formula, and ongoing supply-chain issues exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, according to experts.

But many high-profile conservatives have suggested that Biden is to blame for the shortage.

For example, Rep. Jim Jordan, a Republican from Ohio, shared a Fox Business story on the shortage that featured an image of sparsely filled shelves of infant formula and added the message: “Bare shelves Biden.” The Fox Business story itself cited two other issues, saying “the baby formula shortage began with ongoing supply chain issues but has escalated in recent weeks due to recalls by formula manufacturer Abbott Laboratories.”

And the House Republican Conference shared a similar image from a Fox News on-air segment, adding: “Welcome to Joe Biden’s America.”

Partisans with large social media followings, like David Harris Jr., also weighed in, referring to the shortage and calling the Biden administration “absolutely criminal.”

But a single politician or administration isn’t causing the shortage. Here we’ll explain what’s led to the current situation.

Recall Following Illness and Deaths of Infants​

Between September and January, four infants became ill with Cronobacter, a bacterial infection, and two of them died. The Food and Drug Administration is still investigating.

The babies had reportedly consumed powdered formula from Abbott’s Sturgis, Michigan facility.

On Feb. 17, Abbott voluntarily recalled its powdered formulas. Abbott contracts with a majority of state programs for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, commonly called WIC, which is the largest purchaser of baby formula in the U.S., according to a 2011 report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Another USDA report from the same year found that the highly concentrated formula market was dominated by three manufacturers, and Abbott held the largest market share, at 43%.

The FDA has now agreed to let Abbott release some products to those who need “urgent, life-sustaining supplies of certain specialty and metabolic formulas on a case-by-case basis.” Abbott said in a May 11 statement that its Sturgis facility could be up and running in two weeks with FDA approval.
