Today we're talking a look at the baby formula shortage that's affecting families nationwide. We've got facts and figures on why this shortage is happening and how bad it could get, as well as thoughts on how an inability to get necessary baby products will affect the 2022 midterm elections. When you consider the pandemic and the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia disrupting supply chains all over the world and add the fact that Baby Boomers are already aging out of the workforce, what you get is a recipe for economic disaster. Speaking of shortages, we also talk about the mysterious fires and explosions that have broken out recently at food processing plants in America. Are the incidents random, or could these be attacks with a specific intent?\n\n---\n\nTimecodes: \n\n(0:00) Introduction\n(5:44) Baby formula shortage \u2014 what's going on?\n(19:50) The current labor shortage\n(36:48) Food processing plant fires & explosions \u2014 is this orchestrated?\n(51:38) Some encouragement \n\n---\n\nToday's Sponsors: \n\n\nAnnie's Kit Clubs helps you make the most of rainy days \u2014 they send a new kit every month to treat your kids & yourself to something fun & creative.
