Just more of the disaster that is the Biden Era.
But yeah, he and Democrats care about you. Hint: No they don't.

Why won't Biden allow baby formula imports NOW to ease crisis? Parents slam president for failing to yet make changes to import rules - as they demand he stop wasting time so they can feed their children
Concerned parents are slamming President Joe Biden's response to the nationwide infant formula crisis, despite his claims that it should improve dramatically in coming weeks as the government works with manufacturers to allow companies to import more of the product.
'We're going to be, in a matter of weeks or less, getting significantly more formula on shelves,' Biden said on Friday after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced it was working to streamline a process that will get more products to consumers - while also meeting safety, quality and labeling standards.
Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf said the agency will announce plans next week detailing how manufacturers and suppliers abroad will be able to more easily import their products into the U.S., as well as new options for American companies.
The $4 billion U.S. baby formula market is dominated by domestic producers, with import options limited, subject to high tariffs and onerous safety rules that include labeling standards.
These longstanding rules have exacerbated the current crisis - and are central to officials' efforts to ease the shortage.
'We believe these and other ongoing efforts will help dramatically improve the supply in the U.S. in a matter of weeks,' Califf wrote on Twitter. 'Our data indicates that in-stock rates in retail stores are stabilizing but we continue to work around the clock to further increase availability.'
Meanwhile, the head of one of the four companies that control upwards of 90 percent of the U.S. market for baby formula on Friday warned that he expects shortages and heightened demand for formula to last for the 'balance of the year.'
Amid the crisis, caregivers are also criticizing the president's remarks and alleging his administration has failed to address the problem in a timely manner.
'This is unacceptable,' Chris Skates, whose three-month-old grandson requires a special formula due to stomach sensitivity, told DailyMail.com. 'FDA under Biden is beyond incompetent!'
