“...at every step of this process, dropped the ball”
~~~
Nope.
One or two instances are random, or even institutional negligence, but “every step of the process” is a pattern, and a pattern is deliberate.
Nobody will be fired or reprimanded.
Government workers are protected and more important than the citizenry.
> ... the top levels of the agency weren’t aware of the whistleblower’s report because of “mailroom issues.” <
What a great excuse!
I think I’m going to use it the next time I get audited.
IRS agent: Mr. Leaning Right, we have not received tax returns from you since 1970.
Me: You’re probably having mailroom issues.
IRS agent: I suppose so. Sorry to have bothered you. Have a nice day.
As Ronald Reagan explained: Government IS the problem
So the Democrats want to give more money as a reward?
I believe it. They don’t want to be caught in a lie so I’m sure it’s true. I’ll bet most of the Maryland-based FDA HQ mailroom staff are *still* working from home, whatever that means.
Government is......No, make that big, huge humungous government at it’s best is pretty much FUBAR.
Now with the ‘adults’ in charge it is running so smooth, they do not even learn of problems for at least 4 to 5 months after the fact.
Then 4-5 months before an action is decided upon and then 4-5 more months to implement such action and then SHAZAM, the problem(s) are kicked down the road and declared FIXED.
The Dimjo Administration is so great, ain’t it?
Government created the problem, government ignored the problem, government will attempt to “fix” the problem.
A triple threat.
This is what happens when the government is in charge.
Make note of aspects of your life that government has control over, and be prepared for them to drop the ball.
Baby formula lies just too near the marxists’ thirst for abortion.
And, so what? What’s going to happen to the wrong-doers? Nothing.
The real problem was that they shut down the plant, but failed to substantiate the whistleblower’s claims and could find no contaminated product at all, nor could they actually link the infant illnesses to the formula found in the homes. 3 out of 4 were negative and the one contaminated open can matched contaminated bottled water used to mix it.
None of the environmental tests that found bacteria at the plant match the bacteria from the infants.
The FDA power trip created the shortage
yep, the mail “got lost between the cracks” ... apparently, “the dog ate my homework” doesn’t sound professional enough for a federal agency ...
There should have been a massive effort to sanitize that plant, probably a week at most with federal help and crews working 24/7. The plant could have been reopened and functioning within a month.
“Mail room issues.” That’s a good one. Were there problems with the telephone system, too?
The complaint got lost in the mail ... because of COVID.
As someone on Facebook wrote.......Never mind “Build Back Better” just put it back the way you found it.
