A month after President Biden invoked the Defense Production Act to import emergency supplies of infant formula, store shelves are still half empty and brands shipped on U.S. military planes from other countries are not yet helping many families struggling to find critical specialty brands.
The U.S. government began importing infant formula from Switzerland, the United Kingdom and elsewhere one month ago. It launched Operation Fly Formula to address a shortage that was triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, a major formula recall and a decision by the FDA to shutter one of the nation’s top formula-producing plants for several months citing health violations.
Despite government intervention, many families with infants are still desperately searching for their next formula can. They have had to rely on social media groups to learn when store shelves are restocked or to buy from people who are selling or trading a can or two.

Well as long as the illegals get theirs all is fine
Shameful.
Afghanistan.
This.
Could it be setting up the “Aborted Babies are not Starving Babies” narrative ahead of 2024? \S
Joe, the baby killer.
April: Empty shelves in the baby food aisle.
May: OMG! We're going to do something about this!
June: Empty shelves in baby food aisle, shelves in the feminine products aisle are also now empty.
Sumtang is not right when we have to beg food and fuel from other countries. Even the radical left should see this.

Joe cannot do anything!
Even during wars and communist mismanagement, there were always some formula available!
Only Joe can screw it up so badly!

If they screw up the beer availability, it’s game over.
This guy is the definition of FUBAR.
That quote should go on the demented dictator's tombstone.
England has suffered a beer shortage because (get ready for it!) of a CO2 shortage! Damn greenies shutting down fossil fuel power generation killed beer!
Government does nothing well.
Idiots flew a C-17 load as a PR stunt. Each C-17 can carry roughly a mere 2 semi truck loads. That’s nothing for a continent wide shortage.
This was just a “look, we’re doing something” stunt, nothing more.
Seventeen months from “Build Back Better” to “America complains too much.” Hard to believe that Monkeypox and Putin managed to jack the price of fuel so high and the availability of commodities so low. The only thing we’re not short on is excuses. 29 months of this crap to go.
Joetato got them fly formula.
Who's shocked??? Anyone??? Bueller???
Here in California, Governor Gruesome signed an Executive order mandating that all stores that sell baby formula and charge more than 10% over what they were charging in March, will be Prosecuted for Price Gouging.
I know some people that own grocery chain stores and I warned them and tried to convince them to STOP carrying Baby Formula and put a sign where the product should be to Call the Governor, he has set the price, get it from him.
