A month after President Biden invoked the Defense Production Act to import emergency supplies of infant formula, store shelves are still half empty and brands shipped on U.S. military planes from other countries are not yet helping many families struggling to find critical specialty brands. The U.S. government began importing infant formula from Switzerland, the United Kingdom and elsewhere one month ago.(Snip)Despite government intervention, many families with infants are still desperately searching for their next formula can. They have had to rely on social media groups to learn when store shelves are restocked or to buy from people who are selling or trading a can or two.

And the Abbott plant had to re-close after being open for 11 whole days because of rain water damage, and then sterilize the entire place again. This whole thing is a disaster. Thanks Joe! PS - I went to lunch today at one of my favorite restaurants... the daily lunch special has gone up a dollar, and drinks are up 50 cents. Thanks again!

All Biden has to do is retrieve the formula sitting at the border. But that would be the honest way to do it, right? This administration has no honesty, thanks to Mr. Potato Head in the WH.

I went to the grocery yesterday. Very little peanut butter, no Sriracha and no tampons.

It was OBVIOUSLY a literal drop in a bucket. You cannot deliver much by air. You deliver quantities by rail or by semi truck. Not by aircraft.
As are all the rest of their ideas, this was stupid and doomed from before it started.

The tumbledown handsy clown with the crooked grin and the superannuated arrogant cackling sexworker, not to mention the toilet cruiser nominally in charge of transportation, are indeed utter morons. But these mannequins are there to trick the public into thinking these bad actions are stupid mistakes instead of deliberate actions taken by saboteurs bent on destroying the republic. Many of us made this same mistake during Pharaoh Obama's first two terms.

We have a great government! You know that when you have to go to Mexico to buy what you need.

Dollars to doughnuts you will find them on eBay and the like. Just like any other third world operation, there is a local skim involved.

The communists go into the baby formula business. No business is safe from being ran by the communists. Look for price controls, windfall profits taxes, tax increases, more regulations, and coming soon, gas rationing. Get ready for a huge reduction in your standard of living, and gruel for meals.

Did anyone expect anything else??? I suspect that this piece of trash in the WH does not even know how to keep himself clean. Does a Secret Service guy have to help him? Would not surprise me!!

#3, your advice reminds me of the what the computer expert used to tell the novice whose computer software locked up:
PUT YOUR HANDS IN YOUR LAP.
Sit back.
Quit clicking your mouse.
That would be good advice for the Biden admin.

It all went to the border for illegals. Their inventory warehouses are full of baby formula.

Typical of Joe Biteme's incompetence;
1. Ignore a problem until it becomes a crisis
2. ignore the crisis until advisors tell him that it is impacting his opinion poll numbers
3. Make half-baked futile gestures that accomplish very little
4. deflect blame onto others.

Government caused it, government can't fix it and no one is ever held accountable. Want formula? Stroll across our fake border and the Border Patrol Welcome Wagon will hook the bambino up with as much formula as you care to take.
