Why Is there a Shortage of Baby Formula?

I think the best answer is the FDA:
Given the market structure, a shortage could be predicted reliably.
1. Resolution of the issues at the Sturgis facility should have been a priority issue for the FDA, not a bureaucratic morass.
2. The FDA could have immediately asked other domestic producers to increase production to minimize the shortage.
3. The FDA could have recommended label language improvements or waivers to that (import) barrier.

But releasing oil reserves is meaningless. Love the double standard.
I have no clue what you are trying to even say. Releasing oil reserves is a mistake in my opinion. It did nothing to prices and we werent rationing so makes no sense to me.
 
What is "my philosophy"?
Contrarian. You desperately want to be seen as an independent thinker, unaffected by the political dogma.

However, every stance you take on any issue can be seen from 50 miles away. You simply have to ask, “what would the devils advocate say here?”.

In your quest to be an independent thinker, you are actually the most predictable person on this board. Kudos.

My posting history would not come close to baring this out. Have many posts of agreement and support of things that deserve it.

Exactly my point. Your double standard in these situations
 
He’s not Hickory, Cos, Stoll, Danc or Zeke level predictable but pretty close.
Everyone on here who post even a few times has a pretty well-established persona. Hell, even though you have gone through several screen names, you (and ordfan) are still easy to pick out. :D
Personas are always predictable. It's what makes them personas.
 
Are the Democrats paying illegal immigrants to push babies off of cliffs in their strollers and cribs?

I smell a great campaign commercial.
Your deference to the the pro-abortion theocrats is starting to get really annoying. Wisen up. These people are evil.

They don’t give a damn about women, look at how they treat ACB and Melania.
 
Did anyone get any pic's of the Military bird landing at KIND? I once flew in there and AF1 was setting on the Tarmac. That created one hell of a cool feeling being that close to that plane.

White House official: “Biden administration prepared to authorize release from northeast home heating oil reserve if conditions deteriorate”

This helps nothing

That is going to be horrible this winter. I'm glad I burn wood and have plenty. Costs me a bit more to process and transport now,but I can sit back all winter and have no concerns about heating costs other than the destruction it will cause to the country, especially if we have a rough winter.

Seriously how did "this" get put into office??? Didn't Trump put emergency measures in affect for masks, beds, and bed sheets and call on manufacturing plants to ramp things up?

This admin is worthless...

That's not realistic. Domestic producers were already producing at high capacity levels prior to the Abbott shutdown. Afterwards, they have been producing at 100%. It takes time to get new lines up and running and it isn't cheap.

Are you for government incentivizing Gulf Coast refineries to ship more diesel to the East Coast?

Are you for approving and subsidizing new pipeline and refinery capacity?
 
Yes on pipelines and refineries and or capacity 100%
All these are normal operations for a steady supply of domestic oil/gas production…the exact things that Biden’s Jan 27, 2021 executive order butchered, which affects WTI prices and gasoline prices over time.
 
“White House monitoring diesel supply on East coast, preparing policy actions to mitigate supply challenges”

This was a problem materializing 2 months ago
It's the standard flea flicker play.
Create an issue, allow it to fester until there is a decent amount of pain inflicted, move in and do some non effective policies that create yet another issue that "you" will be able to move in and make more non effective policies........

Then look up at the score board and notice that you lost 75 house seats in 2022.

German chancellor Scholz: “It is necessary to increase global fuel supply”
“We are trying to convince countries that are exploring oil and gas to increase their capacities”

Except the US where Biden has submitted to progressives in issuing executive orders hampering the domestic oil production

We have a World Health Order, I think we need World Commodities Order. So there wouldn't be any shortages any where in the World. Would the Climate Crowd support this ?

Please correct me if I’m wrong but according to the BofLM we have over 9000 unused drilling permits. So whose fault is it that these are not being used? The blame can only be put in one place in my opinion. And the oil companies aren’t going to open up all the sites because right now they’re making a lot of money unlike a few years ago when there was a glut of oil and they weren’t making the big bucks. Does/can the government get involved and force them to drill but then people would say that’s stepping over the line in controlling businesses. Congress won’t do anything about it as they are being paid by the oil lobbyists. I don’t have an answer like most people. For those of us who went through the ‘fun’ times of the gas lines of the 70’s it’s just another pot whole.

They aren't necessarily viable leases just because they are available and This administration has made it much more difficult to drill so while the lease may be available and sound all good, that isnt really the case. Biden just cancelled drilling permits in the Gulf and Alaska which would be much better ones.

Anyone that doesn’t think Biden is waging a War against fossil fuel are truly the dumbest people on the planet. I mean pronoun loving idiots.
 
Biden... hampering the domestic oil production

Mythology.

There was a steep downturn in production during 2020, the first year of the pandemic / last year of the Trump administration, then there has been a steady recovery, such that in 2022 we will likely set all-time records for USA oil production.

The USA is a net oil producer. The USA only imports oil at all because the oil companies find it far more profitable to export oil than to direct it to the domestic market

9,000 leases are meaningless. Have to spend money to prospect to know if they are worth a shit. Gold Rush 101
