Why is Joe Biden doing nothing to help desperate US babies? Parents and politicians slam president for failing to intervene in baby formula crisis as distressed dad says 'never did I think I would have a problem finding food for my baby in America'

Parents and politicians alike are slamming President Biden for his failure to address the US' ongoing baby formula shortage - with one distressed dad saying 'never did I think I would have a problem finding food for my baby in America.'

The backlash against Biden comes as the formula shortage has reached crisis levels in recent weeks, with at least 12 states facing 40 percent or higher out of stock rates.

As shelves across the country meant to carry formula remain largely barren, parents such as Russell Bleck, a husband and father in Lexington, Kentucky, have become desperate to get their hands on the all important product.

The fact of the matter is, the Democrats are the anti-children party, not the Republicans.

Australia has experienced some years of industrial scale buying up of baby formula by Chinese for export to China; wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what’s happening in UA, especially with supply chain problem in China of late:

10 Aug 2019: Yahoo: The Australian baby formula frenzy: Is China really bleeding the nation dry?
by Tom Flanagan
Lines of shoppers stripping supermarket shelves bare of baby formula before it is shipped off to China is leaving a bitter taste in the mouths of other consumers...

But how did it all start? And the burdening question on the lips of millions of Australians: will it ever end?

A surging interest in Australian produced baby formula in China stems from the 2008 baby formula epidemic which saw six babies die and over 400,000 others falling sick with kidney problems, many needing a lifetime of treatment.

There were 20 companies, most prominently the Sanlu Group, that were indicted in the controversy after melamine, a chemical used to make plastic, was added to powdered milk to artificially boost protein levels, as those involved in the industry tried to meet the demand of its growing market...

Under Australian Government dairy product export rules to China, formula can be sent if the consignment is under 10kg. Multiple consignments can be sent if the recipient differs.
Daigou shoppers can reportedly make more than $100,000 a year from their online formula trade...

Because new Dad, Biden’s issue and interest isn’t in feeding your baby the interest is in the Democrat communist revolution.

Baby formula is mother’s milk replacement, not pureed food.

Pureed food is not going to replace mother’s milk or formula, you don’t introduce it before 4 to 6 months, and even then the child needs milk or formula until 1 year. No cow milk before 1 year.

That’s food. I think they’re referring to formula. What a baby consumes BEFORE they can eat blender food.

Because this human carrot couldn’t grab his own ass with both hands let alone know anything about babies or even care.

At least not till they’re about 10.

And they’re girls.

That is the formula most babies were raised on in the 20th century. One buys poly vi sol with iron baby vitamins and dose them every day. Good to go. And lots if water.

so why us

We have those pesky individual rights some folks still believe in that get in the way of their desired flock mentality.
Plus we have more folks able to provide for themselves and not be dependent on government....[tho that argument is weak in regards to food stamps, etc]...its still a goal to be independent.

Thats what “they” don’t want.

It is appropriate that f Joe is blamed for empty shelves and high prices. . Hope news about the baby formula shortage spreads and drives down his polls lower. It would be good if Doocey asks little Chuckie Psaki about it
