Yep much to do about nothing. Fear brains.
You are so disingenuous and your response completely proves my point. You immediately made it democrat versus republican. Hysterical! Trump isn't in office anymore; get over it. He left 17 months ago. The current president and his administration dropped the ball on this. Also, the FDA Baby Formula Act? 28 million dollars to the same agency that helped cause the problem? Sounds like a great idea. |
Oh, the poor baby formula manufacture plant. How about a realistic timeline to go by? The power these companies have rival that of any oversight group and even the government. Reminds me of the meat packing plants that made workers work while getting Covid and dying and actually doing nothing to abate it, and having Rump and his Presidential signing statement forcing them to stay open? One side may err on the side of public safety but the other side actively harms and kills people for a buck and for political points. By the way, nothing remotely disingenuous about my post. Nice try. All the best, |
That article proves my point. No one is sympathizing with Abbott, they are equally at fault. The FDA was told about the issue back in September. They did nothing. They waited until four infants died before panic-acting and shutting the plant down without any consideration for how it would impact supply. It wouldn't have taken much for the FDA to emergency-authorize importation of formula from Europe, Canada, Mexico. Instead the plant is still shut-down. Public-safety also involves ensuring supply. |
I’ve always enjoyed your posts and appreciate that you feel strongly about certain topics.
You seem to be upset that I’m not upset. I am concerned about everything you are upset about, I just tend to gravitate toward solutions oriented problem solving rather than to virtually self immolate with every current event. In short, I seek positives and jettison the negatives. Its an attitude...obviously one you don’t or can’t share. That’s cool. I’ll just keep doing my thing, being overtly happy, employing happy people, doing good when I feel the urge and ignoring those who over react daily about whatever it is that people love to over react about.
No, of course personal savings isn’t enough...but if people have made good financial decisions and been fortunate while doing so, they typically don’t have to make rash decisions when faced with challenges. Once they do make a decision, they typically have the resources to maneuver.
Once again, I thought this was a website for a hobby, one that frankly isn’t a requirement for survival....which classifies it as a luxury. Therefore I assume that those who frequent this website can afford these luxuries. If they can’t, then that isn’t my bucket of excrement to carry.
In short, we can coexist but I refuse to accept the outrage of anyone who happens to be outraged at the idea that I’m not outraged. |
