LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Government’s plate is already full

Every private company’s CEO knows the market share their company holds and the status of products on outlet shelves.

How, then, does a major manufacturer of life-giving baby formula allow its product to get so behind the demand curve as to require government intervention? Especially when that government is:

• helping to save the lives of people unjustly attacked with murderous intent by their neighbor country

• fighting inflation

• trying to sort out the ramifications of an impending Supreme Court decision that could overturn long-standing abortion rights precedence

• trying to calm a surge of immigrants at the border

• analyzing the potential next steps of a nuclear missile-crazed dictator, and

• trying to manage the COVID-19 medical emergency, to name a few pressing issues needing attention.

Well, with the midterm elections a few months away, it is always nice to pile on another press-worthy problem and claim it is the president’s responsibility to solve it.
