    Oh! Dear! Talk about off topic! You DO know.don’t you that the D&E procedure is illegal in America and has been since the Bush era

    Lifeshite news is one of the most infamously inaccurate and misinformed websites on the internet

    Yes. Almost 50% of funding of FDA activities comes from “user fees” paid by companies mandated to be inspected by the FDA. This is one of the main reasons for these monopolies. Small startup companies simply can’t afford the fees involved in producing FDA approved products. The fees are too large a percentage of fixed costs for small companies but are easily covered by large companies—especially ones with large government contracts.

    This is also why the meat packing industry in the US has become monopolistic. Small processors can’t afford on site inspectors. The cost of inspection per unit of production is too high, but again easily covered by large operations.

    I can’t believe I have to point this out…

    That IS true. Surely one or another conservative pediatrician should be able to tell mothers how to SAFELY make formula

    Why don't conservative meat regulators set up AND FUND PUBLICLY a meat inspection agency of their own.

    There is that.

    I am assuming they would make it legal too. It seems to me that Meat Inspection is EXACTLY what government SHOULD do

    This is yet another bitch I have with conservatives. What do they really think government is FOR? Can't it do ANYTHING besides spend our money on weaponry that doesn't work, we don't need and haven't asked for?

    Or unionise/ develop a Co-op. To me this is outrageous and points to the corruption in the political system for allowing this to happen. Our Liberal party here in Aus (Liberal = conservative here) is absolutely for “the middle man” and “small business”. That does not mean they are not raking it in from big business but they have a “support small business”platform. Guess that is some of the advantage of preferential (ranked) voting - yesterday I had to number in order 6 different party candidates and our Federal government is looking to be a “coalition of Labor (Democrat) and Greens - but then we have always preferred to have some Greens on the side :p

    I note once again a woeful lack of understanding of the female.
    Do you not have someone in your family who can enlighten you?

    The composition of substitute baby Milk is complicated and vital to get right.
    There was a mémorable crisis in china a while ago when baby Milk was incorrect in composition. It can lead to physical and mental abnormalities.

    You need a woman to explain women to you.
    You seem woefully misinformed.

    I think that was when the milk was adulterated with melamine, by some cheapskate Chinese producers who were trying to commit consumer fraud and reduce costs but didn't realize it would kill babies and cause their kidneys to shut down.

    You are correct. But it's not impossible for informed parents to make.
    40% goats milk, 45% rice milk, 15% some sort of vegetable milk made with sunflower oil, or flax milk or hemp milk (alternating around), then throw in a sprinkle of baby multi vitamin power.

    Democrats, Republicans, progressives, conservatives—-all are wrapped up in the same fascist government/industry symbiotic relationship. All complain about the problems it creates without even understanding why those problems exist.

    The fact ya’ll are ignorant of the relationship the FDA and USDA have with monopoly businesses in the US speaks volumes. If you really wanted competition YOUR tribe would make it legal to create third party auditing. You don’t really want competition and neither do Republicans.

    That’s the bitch I have with all of this political nonsense. You all complain but are ignorant of basic facts that are the root of the problem you complain about. You all complain but are unwilling to do anything concrete to solve the problem. How can anything meaningful be done when you have a fundamental misunderstanding of reality?

    You are welcome to quote anywhere I’ve said meat inspection is not a valid function of government. You won’t because that isn’t my point. My point is the way it’s done now is WHY there are monopolies that even the current President complains about. But he’s either ignorant like ya’ll or leading you on because the solutions he offers you are more of the thing that caused the problem initially.

    As to the weaponry, if the government didn’t buy weaponry it would lack the power to send people to federal prison for messing with their monopoly business partners by creating alternative auditing systems. Then what would you complain about? You’d be bitching because the government didn’t have weapons you asked for to enforce the laws you think we need. LOL

    To be clear, I’m not defending the military industrial complex. It’s where all this fascist business/government cooperation at the expense of the people started. It’s all modeled on the military industrial complex.

    Right, sure, I understand, Everything that's known is a lie and the whole world is run on this giant conspiracy and literally EVERYBODY is in on it. Except, of course, for me and thee, (and I'm not really sure of thee)

    Boebert has the answer, but Joe doesn't... where are those solutions for the baby formula crisis, Joe, that you are "a day late and not a dollar short" on.. but wait... now you're throwing $28 billion tax payer money at now. How come each and every "Joe Biden screwup" cost us more money? Once again they are caught off guard with a problem that is months old... I am glad the brown stain man never had to deal with a NOVEL virus like the previous president did, or a lot more people would be dead.

    Is that supposed to be English?

    Among other things, the greatest country the world has known was able to produce all the energy and food we need to sustain the population on January 20, 2021. Less than 1 1/2 years into total rule under the Democrats' Corporate Fascism, we are begging enemies to ship us crude oil and we can't even produce baby formula to feed the children that escape the Democrat Human Sacrifice ritual.

    You should be proud.

    An emergency isn't something that unfolds over a period of 11 years when Obama-Biden and their band of geniuses figured out that Corporate Fascism concentrated most of the manufacturing of baby formula in 3 companies, Abbott owning 45% of the market. They did nothing to fix the problem. The Fascist Democrat Authority (FDA) doesn't need more money. They need Congress to right size their power to impose regulations, freeing companies under their rule to focus on the important job of making sure the food and drugs on the shelves don't kill us and the kids that survive the Democrat meat grinder.

    Horse-puckey. Real problems aren't solved by a resolution or throwing money at something, and most politicians do that. The left is far more guilty of doing so to appease voters with little attention to solve problems.
    But- it's got nothing to do with wanting anyone to suffer, and I'm sure you know that.... but see the claim as an opportunity to smear the politics you don't favor.
    If people became reasonable, rapid solutions could be at hand- but the endless blockading of partisanship means that won't happen soon.

    If you had been following this like I have it is a lot more complex, involves WC and quite frankly since I have found rhar the factories pay for inspections I would rather see something truly independent

    Mistyping - I use a screen on an iPad and spellcheck has it in for me

    “Greatest country” wow! Talk about……..shakes head

    America has not been truly independent for YEARS. This did not start with Biden but a years long oligopoly made richer by Trumps fiddling with NAFTA. When any country is down to only a couple of suppliers and those are protected suppliers then “free trade” will falter. Biden did not make a factory that the owners would rather run dirty than pay more and run clean
