Dingell: ‘We’ve Got a Hiring Crisis’ Contributing to Formula Shortage
Breitbart ^ | 05/18/2022 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 05/18/2022 3:19:47 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Way Too Early,” Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) stated that one issue contributing to the national baby formula shortage is that “we’ve got a hiring crisis in this country.” And as a result, “FDA is having a difficult time hiring some of the people that they need.”

Dingell said, “Well, some of us are introducing a bill that is going to invoke the Defense [Production] Act. Because we do believe that this is a crisis and we need to move everything we can to get going. As that Abbott plant reopens, there [are] some disturbing reports…so we want to make sure there [are] independent safety inspectors in there ensuring that the formula that is going to be produced is safe for mothers to use with their children. We are looking at expanding — legislation that would say to WIC, expand the number of formulas that mothers can buy. I think we’re looking at everything that’s possible. And we’ve got a hiring crisis in this country. FDA is having a difficult time hiring some of the people that they need. And we are putting more money into making sure that the FDA has the resources that they need to address this problem. We are now talking about our children. Our children, when they are born, need to have proper access to nutrition, to be able to get the food they need to live. This is a crisis for all of us.”

I don't think Abbott Labs was really the problem.

Why is biggest baby formula plant in US STILL shut down after three months? Abbott says plant is safe and was not responsible for bacteria that killed two kids - but FDA refuses to reopen it FR thread

"Gonna round up people at gunpoint to work in a formula factory?"

The prompt answer in return will refer to allowing more illegals for the positions.

There is no shortage of people wanting government jobs serving the deep state. Those servicing the general populace which requires actual work are what is in short supply mainly do to the former eating out their sustenance.

How many people on Free Republic want themselves or their children to be common laborers?

Answer: Not very many.

Much of what is essential to an economy has been undervalued and replaced by foreign producers over the last 60 to 70 years.

The “chickens will be coming home to roost” over the next decade as our public/private policies of woke stupidity crash & burn on economic reality.

Further more I find it hilarious that many Freepers want an imaginary employee to “get to work” while they collect their public money.

The problem is that he hired incompetent people to run the FDA.
