I got 10% this year. My empliyees got the same but backdated 6 months and then another few percent based on their performance.

Companies in my area are desperate to hang onto workers. Even McDonald's has giant signs saying starting at $17/hr

Eh, the Democrats are dumb but we know it's sort of a false dichotomy. The US government can definitely spend on both things.

I mean, they shouldn't be spending anything on giving nazis guns to fight other nazis but they should be making sure mothers don't have to steal formula to keep their baby alive so I think 'false dichotomy' aside the dems have failed completely in every regard there!

there is probably nothing the US government could realistically do to solve the baby formula shortage. no direct solution from congress is possible. politicians will yell and scream and point fingers and, after enough time has passed and infants have died for the market to half-assedly sort it out for them, they'll try to take credit

if it were a republican congress and president right now the same gop calling out the democrats right now, would blame the crisis on deadbeat mothers instead. and then from the democrats you'd get a bunch of harsh tweets

actually I take that back: if the gop were in charge you'd see legislation entirely on republican terms that democrats would go along with and try to act like it was their idea in the first place. the legislation would basically be tax breaks and other subsidies for formula companies. then, on the other end, you'd have some backroom deals between gop leadership and the businesses responsible, to take action to mitigate the issue in the short term (the cost to do so would be far less than the handouts given to industry by the new laws, of course)

then by the end of 2023, partially as a consequence of the law, one company would produce and distribute all the baby formula in the country

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

yes because Ukraine only exists as it is today as a proxy/buffer state against Russia and never was going to be allowed into NATO?

thankfully my toddler no longer needs formula but basically all formula in the US is either mead johnson (owned by Reckitt, a British multinational) or Abbott labs. nestle’s brand, gerber makes up the remainder. it’s maybe 40-40-20 between the three.

three multinationals enter, which will win?
