Look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you honestly believe drug dealers are stealing formula to cut drugs with rather than mom's just need to feed their babies

Maybe you should stop looking at yourself in the mirror and look at the data? As a parent, I feel people like you are the reason formula ends up being unavailable for real babies as you enable gangs to steal them driving up cost. Here is a list of places with free baby formula and stuff in the Bay Area: https://www.211bayarea.org/sanfrancisco/food/food-programs/formulababy-food/ https://www.211bayarea.org/sanfrancisco/food/food-programs/f... https://www.findhelp.org/goods/diapers-%26-formula--san-jose-ca https://www.findhelp.org/goods/diapers-%26-formula--san-jose... https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html/san_francisco_and_san_mateo_free_di.html https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html/san_francisco_and_s... One advice: Stop with harmful virtue signaling. It is easy to virtue signal like you do here with looking at any data or bearing any of the real cost of virtue signaling. I will repeat. People like you are the reason formula ends up being unavailable for real babies as you enable gangs to steal them driving up cost and causing shortages during real crises. As a parent this is frustrating and rage inducing. https://www.cdc.gov/nutrition/infantandtoddlernutrition/formula-feeding/infant-formula-shortage.html https://www.cdc.gov/nutrition/infantandtoddlernutrition/form...

  How about we both: 1) Support low income people by giving them formula if they need it, AND 2) End the war on drugs and move people into treatment instead of the carceral slave system Sounds like a win-win.

a lot of stolen inventory is resold for money but it's then in turn sold to moms on street markets (or sometimes back to unscrupulous store owners at a discount off wholesale to resell, sometimes via a proxy reseller). so you may be unhappy with who profits in various ways but it's evidently going to moms one way or the other
