Can't companies just import it from other countries with quality food standards? It's not like food from other countries is banned.

Can't they just lower tariffs for a month on baby food? I'm sure that you don't need to pass a bill on that. There are tens of thousands of different tariffs for different products, no way each change needs a bill in Congress.

One of which is sending $40 billion to Ukraine? Tell us exactly how that helped solved our country's dilemma.

Actually if you look at the $40 billion in detail, only a small proportion is going inside Ukraine's borders. Some of it is going into the back pocket of Americans in Europe.

I counted $15 billion in hardware aid for Ukraine's military, this is from 30 seconds of searching, a more detailed list I saw on f2bbs which unfortunately doesn't have search. No doubt 5-10 minutes of searching will get a better list.

Here's the first post of the f2bbs thread about the money. It was posted about a week ago, so maybe the numbers have changed.
Sending cash to one of the most corrupt countries in the world is ridiculous. Bill includes almost a billion to teach Ukrainian refugees English.
“The measure includes $6 billion for Ukraine for intelligence, equipment and training for its forces, plus $4 billion in financing to help Kyiv and NATO allies build up their militaries.
There’s $8.7 billion for the Pentagon to rebuild stocks of weapons it has shipped to Ukraine and $3.9 billion for U.S. troops in the region.
The measure also includes $8.8 billion to keep the Kyiv government functioning, more than $5 billion to provide food to countries around the world that rely on Ukrainian crops devastated by the fighting and $900 million to teach English and provide other services to Ukrainian refugees who have moved to the United States.”

My enemy's enemy is my friend. Also have a look at cooking oil, wheat and oil prices. Have you noticed that they've increased?

Correct, but it would certainly create a world war, this time with multiple nuclear actors. We are trying to avoid that.

Yes, but Russia is much more likely to use nukes if another nuclear power confronts them directly.

Why don't they just make a law banning shortages and price increases? It'll be against the law for things to be out of stock and/or more expensive than they used to be. That way we'll never have to deal with supply chain problems or inflation ever again 🤔

Baby formula is terrible and full of corn syrup and seed oils. We need to safeguard and implement means of affordable breastfeeding measures for the majority who can pull it off, and have formula available at the pharmacy by prescription.

@previous (WSD !m2cp3rR5zw)I'm really surprised they can't just make it in the Coffee Mate factory. It's basically the same nasty crap.
You'd honestly be better off going to McDonalds and feeding your baby a milkshake.
