a nationwide shortage of baby formula
. But none of the moves will create immediate relief for parents scrambling to find stocked shelves. And none fully address the underlying flaws of the more than $4 billion U.S. formula industry, in which business and government depend on one another to keep the country supplied. Baby formula is one of the most tightly regulated food products in the country. That makes the barrier to new entrants high, and few brands have emerged as challengers to Similac and Enfamil, made by Abbott Laboratories and Reckitt Benckiser Group , respectively, since the two entered the market in the 1950s. Abbott and Reckitt were responsible for roughly 80% of infant and toddler formula sales in the U.S. last year, according to market-research firm Euromonitor.

There shouldn't be competition, it should be an essentially profitless commodity, like wheat, power, housing, the military industrial complex. Nationalize all of them. Scumbags.
Probably a good time to ban abortion then, right?
Most normal women who gives birth to a child has the ability to choose breastfeeding, which has been heavily suppressed by baby formula monopoly since decades. What do you expect of the monopoly? This is a way to sthraigten the market, raise prices etc.
What ?unethical practices you say? Why am I not surprised ?! Shame in society for making a business out if it in the first place. Of course the supply chain is rigged. AmberHeardlsAnAbuser AmberHeardlsApsychopath JusticeForJohnnyDepp AmberHeardIsALiar
Hyper-centralization *always* opens the possibility for total systemic collapse. That possibility doesn't exist when the systems are more decentralized, though decentralized systems have far more frequent mini-failures.
here are my naked photos
davidmdraiman I mean, of all the markets, isn't this the one which SHOULD be tightly regulated ?
it's been going on for months...
yeah - Dumbo Trumpo would never have allowed this to happen. Way to go Democrats - your failures are simply stunning and SPECTACULAR. No enemy could have done a better job, really
