If The Post-Covid ‘Recovery’ Was So Great, Why Can’t I Get Better Than Two-Star Service?

Supply chain crisis: 'Shocking' national baby formula shortage forces rationing at major retail chain



There is a national shortage of baby formula, which has forced a large retail chain to impose rationing on the important product for infants.

The supply chain crisis has prompted Walgreens – the second-largest pharmacy store chain in the United States behind CVS – to limit the amount of baby formula that customers can purchase. A spokesperson for the national drugstore chain told CBS MoneyWatch that customers may only buy three infant and toddler formula products per transaction. Walgreens – which operates approximately 9,021 drugstores in all 50 states – said the reason for rationing is because of "increased demand and various supplier issues." The restrictions are already in effect at stores.

CVS is also experiencing baby formula shortages. A CVC Health spokesperson told CBS News that "product supply challenges are currently impacting most of the retail industry." The largest pharmacy store chain said it is working with "national brand baby formula vendors to address this issue and we regret any inconvenience that our customers may be experiencing."

As of the week of March 13, an analysis by Datasembly found that 29% of the top-selling baby formula products were out of stock at more than 11,000 stores. A steep increase from 11% in November.

Datasembly noted that 30% of baby formula was out of stock as of mid-March in 24 U.S. states. Shortages of at least 40% were reported in Connecticut, Hawaii, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, North and South Dakota, Rhode Island, and Texas. Parents in Minnesota are struggling to secure baby formula since stores are seeing 54% shortages, according to the retail analysis company that provides real-time product information from thousands of stores. In the first seven months of 2021, there were shortages of baby formula between 2% and 8%.

"This is a shocking number that you don't see for other categories," said Ben Reich – CEO of Datasembly. "We've been tracking it over time and it's going up dramatically. We see this category is being affected by economic conditions more dramatically than others."

A shortage of baby formula is concerning since 75% of babies receive at least some formula by the age of 6 months.

Memphis mom Samantha Modely told WREG-TV, "I would normally buy four to six cans at times to get us through the month and I would have to limit that to two. My friend is about to have a baby in August, and I can't imagine being worried about whether you’d be able to go to the local grocery store and grab what you needed it."

San Francisco mother Irene Anhoeck told CBS News, "We've noticed it being difficult to find maybe a couple months ago — two, three months ago — and then just recently we can't find it. We've tried all the local Targets. We checked Costco, Costco online, Walgreens, Long's. Can't find it anywhere."

Enfamil – a leading baby formula brand – said in January that they were dealing with an unprecedented 18% surge in demand for baby formula.

"We have taken steps to ramp up production and are currently shipping 50% more product, to address issues as fast as possible," a spokesperson for Reckitt – maker of Enfamil – said in January.

The Infant Nutrition Council of America assured parents that manufacturers are increasing production to counter the lack of product. The organization also urged parents not to hoard baby formula, and to only keep a supply for 10-to-14 days.

Biden Admin Prioritizes Climate Fantasies While Famine Threatens The World

President Joe Biden would seemingly rather virtue signal about climate change than act on the near-term implications of a potential global famine.

BlackRock president warns 'entitled generation that has never had to sacrifice' that they will soon face shock due to major shortages: 'Put on your seatbelts'



The president of the world's largest asset management company just issued a stark warning to members of America's "entitled generation."

BlackRock co-founder and president Robert Kapito said Tuesday that the global supply chain and soaring inflation crises will soon have dramatic effects on the U.S. economy that will result in a noticeable scarcity of goods not experienced before by many younger Americans.

That scarcity, he said, will likely be a shock to the system for many who are accustomed to an abundant and comfortable lifestyle.

"For the first time, this generation is going to go into a store and not be able to get what they want," Kapito said, adding, "We have a very entitled generation that has never had to sacrifice."

"I would put on your seatbelts, because this is something that we haven’t seen," he asserted, in reference to what he called "scarcity inflation."

Kapito's remarks, first reported by Bloomberg News, were made at the Texas Independent Producers and Royalty Owners Association convention — an annual gathering of oil and gas industry leaders.

The warning comes just days after Bloomberg economists advised Americans to consider budgeting an extra $5,200 this year — or $433 monthly — to prepare for the effects of historically high inflation.

Inflation under the Biden administration has skyrocketed in the past year, rising at the fastest pace in four decades. Inflation is measured by the U.S. Consumer Price Index, which increased nearly 8% over the past 12 months, according to government data released for February 2022.

The dramatically inflated prices have reportedly resulted in 64% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck.

The last time inflation rose at such a fast rate was in 1982. That year, the U.S. economy went into a recession. Now, some experts are warning that another economic recession is "inevitable."

The Biden administration has been peddling a litany of excuses for the economic downturn — including the coronavirus pandemic, corporate greed, and Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine — but American voters reportedly aren't buying it.

A plurality of respondents to a recent NBC News poll (38%) blamed President Joe Biden for the increase in the cost of consumer goods, while just 28% blamed the coronavirus pandemic, 23% blamed corporations raising prices, and only 6% blamed Putin.
