WASHINGTON -- The Biden administration announced Wednesday that it is providing logistical support to import the equivalent of about 16 million 8-ounce baby formula bottles from Mexico starting this weekend, as part of its efforts to ease nationwide supply shortages caused by the closure of the largest U.S. manufacturing plant.

The Department of Health and Human Services is expediting the travel of trucks that will drive about 1 million pounds of Gerber Good Start Gentle infant formula from a Nestlé plant to U.S. retailers, the White House said, nearly doubling the amount imported to the U.S. to date. Cargo flights from Europe and Australia already have brought baby formula into the U.S., including two new rounds of air shipments that begin this weekend.

The White House has been working to make supply more available as it has faced pressure from parents over supply issues after regulators in February shuttered a Michigan plant run by Abbott that is the largest domestic manufacturer of baby formula over safety concerns. The plant reopened on June 4 after the company committed to additional sanitizing and safety protocols, but shuttered again more than a week ago after severe weather caused damage to the plant.

The company said it needs time to assess damage and re-sanitize the factory after severe thunderstorms and heavy rains swept through southwestern Michigan on June 13.

"Currently, China remains the primary source of fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances trafficked through international mail and express consignment operations environment, as well as the main source for all fentanyl-related substances trafficked into the United States."

 
Mexico Major Source of Fentanyl Entering U.S., Report Says
Feb. 8, 2022

Mexico has replaced China as the “dominant source” of fentanyl and synthetic opioids entering the United States, a new government report says.

From 2014 until 2019, most pure fentanyl that U.S. authorities seized came from the People’s Republic of China (PRC), said the report from the Commission on Combating Synthetic Opioid Trafficking.

“Since then, the dominant source of illegally sourced fentanyl has been Mexico,” the report says. “The drug is manufactured in illegal laboratories there using precursors from Asia — mainly the PRC — and is trafficked principally by land into the United States.”

Most things aren't that black and white and the most divisive issues in our country are largely emotional, or at least the debate is. The conflict often times arises because the sides are framed as absolutes, when in reality the vast majority don't want unlimited abortion or unlimited gun ownership, for example.

I hate to break it to you but lies are also protected free speech, so instead of silencing lies, you have to combat them. Fights lies with facts, not silence and insults. When you go the ad hominem route its assumed you've lost the debate. Lies can also be in the eye of the beholder. Many considered the Wuhan lab leak to be a lie, when was actually quite possible and may be true.

While there are obvious lies, what is truth or fiction for many people is based upon their life experiences which can vary dramatically from person to person. That's why its always good to try and stand in someone else's shoes.

One of the very disturbing trends is we have politicians pushing tech companies to censor speech.

Right now a small number of tech companies own/control the main means one communicates on the internet and they are increasingly shutting down contrary opinions, etc.

A very bad trend. What is worse is a large segment of the population like the fact that certain ideas are shut down.

The pendulum will eventually shift the other way...and those corporations will shut down the other side.

We cannot have that.

That’s where the freedom vs responsibility debate comes in. I’m sure there are other venues one can enjoy the views of America’s Frontline Doctors and the unhinged ramblings of the former resident.

Does Nestle or any other legitimate manufacturer in Mexico make fentanyl? Who makes OxyContin? They make a lot of meth in Michigan we probably shouldn’t do business with them.

Wait till you see what else we import from Mexico --- it will blow your mind.

This seems like a reasonable solution though.

Who's my leader? Who did I vote for? The fact you believe you know this just shows what everyone on this forum already knows about you. I'll let you figure that part out or maybe you and Pops can brainstorm about it.
