“We figured it out. We’re all set, at least for now. But I think about what that would be like. If you’re a shift worker with two jobs, maybe you don’t have a car, you literally don’t have the time or the money to be going from store to store,”

“Let’s be very clear. This is a capitalist country. The government does not make baby formula, nor should it. Companies make formula, and one of those companies — a company that seems to have 40 percent market share — messed up,” he added. “So the most important thing to do right now, of course, is to get that plant in Michigan up and running safely.”

Fucking dead eyed psychopath. Good thing these shift workers are going to easily forget something minor like not being able to feed their baby in order to uphold fair market value.

Meanwhile, avowed communists Marco Rubio and Rick Scott are trying to pass legislation to direct Biden to use the Defense Production Act.

    The Defense Production Act doesn't tell the government to start making baby formula, it imposes legal consequences on price gougers and hoarders. Granted, libs are still screaming Vuvuzela about Warren's attempt to do the exact same thing.
