Baby Formula Shortage

Coinciding with the supreme court's decision to allow forced birth, this is a perfect recipe for infant mortality.

For the record, baby formula is also the most commonly shoplifted item in the USA. Think of that and be horrified at the implications.

Keep in mind that there have been big recalls for formula recently. So it does make sense for a shortage.

Still makes no sense for it to cost as much as it does though.

Forced birth on top of no maternity leave, no safety net if your parents keck you out for getting pregnant, no exemption if the pregnancy itself is killing you (in most states with bans), no medical coverage for maternity care, no coverage for birth, no coverage for post-partem care, no coverage for pediacric care, and these days social pressure to not get the kid vaccinated.

It's so obviously a recipe for a lot of dead women and girls and the babies they made them have that that pretty much has to be the actual goal. A formula shortage as well is just icing on the shit cake.

Oh and also the shortage is the direct result of using government money for stock buybacks rather than fixing thier production line.

Infant mortality has been going up too.

Could fix it, but nearly half the US would rather have the rich stay rich. I bet they enjoy the taste of boot.

They're hoping they'll get some of the other half of the country's wealth when it's collectively died in the gutter. They'll get what they're 'rightfully owed' or whatever.

Maybe they are hoping for that paycheck for standing up for the Super Rich's rights.

Just curious, do you have a source on this?
