They literally lock up the baby formula in a cage at my local grocery stores now. You know, so criminal scum with starving babies don't pillage them.
If that doesn't signal imminent collapse I don't know what does.
There's a drug store chain near me that has a sign, if you need formula and can't afford it, they'll let you have their brand generic formulas for free. You just bring it up to the desk, let them know and they'll scan it and give it to you.
Name and opposite of shame?
I didn't wanna say cause I can't remember if I'm right, but it's in Toronto so likely not something in the states.
GTA has a shortage of generic brand formula anyways, so good luck trying to find that on the shelf
Thankfully my kid is past formula age. Unfortunately he was on formula during that pandemic shortage shit show
We got lucky that my wife happened to be SAH and able to breastfeed. We know people who had issues breastfeeding and were really stressed about finding and paying for formula.
Praise is the word you're looking did for I think
That isn't a sign of collapse. That just shows that the average retailer would let a baby starve than lose a dime. Its a reflection of the morality that these people have. But of course they never examine themselves deep enough to have that realisation.
