They might, but what does that have to do with potentially poisoning babies?
Are you saying that the poisoning allegations were due to additional regulation that were not necessary?

Babies were not being poisoned, even the FDA admits they screwed up.
An internal review of how the agency handled the crisis cited a lack of training and outdated information technology as two of the 15 reasons behind the critical baby formula shortage. The report said it couldn’t find a “single action” to explain why the formula crisis occurred.
The internal review was conducted by Steven M. Solomon, director of the FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine, who said in a statement that he identified five major areas of need in his review: upgraded information technology to exchange data during an emergency; updated staffing, training and equipment; updated emergency response systems; an assessment of the infant formula industry; and a better scientific understanding of cronobacter — the bacteria that caused the shortage.

No I’m saying over-regulation set us up with an industry where one failure could crash the entire supply.

Should you be forced to sit in jail while the authorities investigate whether there is any evidence to arrest you?

In this case they had evidence that something bad occurred. While they are investigating the factory, should they be allowed to continue to distribute potentially poisonous formula?

What evidence? An uncorroborated allegation?
If someone drives off the road for no apparent reason and dies, do they shut down the car manufacturer while they investigate whether a mechanical failure was the cause?

Don’t give them any ideas.

They could have at least secured a line of emergency formula from several quality equivalent nations (like the EU and Canada) when they made the decision to shut down the plant.
It’s not like the entire supply disappeared in one night. This country has an enormous amount of transport planes like C-130s from the Air Force and commercial variant 747s and 737s that could have easily been used to transport emergency supplies from Europe. Land routes could have used for Canadian stock.
The government ■■■■■■ up. It’s that simple. The regulators made a decision to shut down the plant without any sort of backup plan to gather emergency supplies if needed.
Not only that but the shut down was done on the flimsiest of evidence.

The flimsiest of evidence. Basically an accusation.
At the very least they could have had a ■■■■■■■ plan to gather emergency supplies.

What part of that was me defending Brandon?
It was a regulatory problem as in it was the over regulation by the governemnt that was screwing up. It’s wrong to blame private enterprise when government is the culprit
He should have kept his mouth shut until he actually had a plan of some kind

Yeah totally defending Brandon. It’s funny that the two lib posters who actually responded to my post understood that…
What is it about my posts that’s not comprehensible other than my inability to use proper punctuation and proofread?
And in a situation that was totally predictable given the low numbers of producers. Just stupid bureaucratic nonsense
