but you may have missed it. you may never even heardf this because there weren t a lot of follow up pieces abouti these manmade food shortages that joe biden was predicting. a and that s weird if you think about it because food shortages are inherently a big deal . you could argue they re even more significant and say slap fight between actors at an . ards ceremony food shortages are a historic event. they overturn society sd they bring down empires they often have if you ve gotav food shortages, you ve got a potentially destabilizing problem on your handsr and we do have food shortages. they re real as joe biden predicted as of tonight , at least twenty six states are reporting that half their retail stores are completelytely baby formula. that would include the states of texas, tennessee, missouri and iowa, many others. so these are major population centers without enoughd fo foodr newborns in memphis and nashville. 52% of stores have no baby formula. houston and des moines
kickback from the manufacturer in the form of a rebate. sometimes as high as eightyhe five percent of the wholesale price. in other words, the baby b formula manufacturer essentially pays the government to maintain this monopolyt and it s good business for everybody. it s been going on for a long time. the problem right nowth isma that the abbott nutrition company has madede the baby formula for the vast majority of wyk contracts.rm the government had all its eggs virtually in abbott s basket. unfortunately, abbott just closed its plant in sturgis, michigan because of contamination that means that millions of people who used wyk to buy apple products are forced to buy competing formulas and they re doing it all at once. so a government monopoly overseen by joe biden causeds. this baby formula crisis. so what s the government doing to fix it? well, here s why they re not doing not invokingnone defense production act to manufacture more baby formula. of course not just for ukrainiansbye
