      You want evidence? Isn’t the fact that the formula is all locked up with signs threatening prosecution a pretty good clue?

        Those items are stolen in bulk by more organized shoplifters who will hit half a dozen stores in a day and literally fill carts and then resell them

        This is the insane claim being parroted, not that they’re being stolen in the first place.

          Its not being parroted. I’ve worked at retail stores and witnessed it firsthand.

          Here are some additional sources.

          https://abcnews.com/US/baby-formula-targeted-organized-retail-theft-rings/story?id=13293485

          https://www.tampabay28.com/news/region-hillsborough/alleged-shoplifting-ring-faces-rico-charges-after-stealing-baby-formula-throughout-florida

          A simple web search of “shoplifting ring baby formula” yields dozens of results.

          Please do some basic research before calling someone’s experience “insane”.

      Sometimes all you need is to think your way through by reasoning. Some things are self-evident.

        Ah, so no evidence? Thats the difference between a fact and a well reasoned guess. So we’re making up stories to suck the toes of CEOs now on here, cool.

          You’ve gotta have some faith in your ability to think. There is no evidence that the sun will come up tomorrow, but the world keeps spinning. If I sip on a Slurpee, but don’t have a receipt, do you believe your eyes, or do you need the receipt? By the way, pretty well all of Science is based on well-reasoned guesses, then the move towards the truth of the guess is refined over time. Confirmation of facts is a good thing, but not always necessary, according to the universal “walks like a duck” rule. As far as sucking on toes? That says more about you than it does about evidentiary verification.

            Maybe simply explain your reasoning for people who don’t come to the same conclusions as you.

        It’s called Critical Thinking Skills, and they should be the absolute top priority in public schools. You can always look up facts on the phone in your pocket, we need Citizens who can THINK properly.
