Don't worry they've formed a committee to look into maybe doing something about this. Meanwhile babies are starving. I wish I were joking.

Yes. You have to 'form a committee' to understand the problem, instead of just winging it.

Is there a good reason why it takes that committee over a week just to meet? Why can't they just schedule a zoom conference and then issue an executive order the same day? It's not like starving babies are a time critical issue like missiles for Ukraine or something.

It's a complicated issue, that will take time to sort out. There is no decision that will just magically fix everything.

This is a baby formula shortage, in a rich first-world nation. No babies are going to be harmed. Is there really a need to go into hyperbole?

Sometime in the future, there will then be a commission tasked to determine why the committee failed.
