Books on exceptional examples of leadership written in the future will not have to spend any time recalling Joe Biden’s reaction to the baby formula shortage across the United States. He’s been asleep at the wheel for weeks, but finally, action is being taken, as “Operation Fly Formula” is set to deliver 31 tons of formula from Ramstein American Air Base in Germany. It will land in Indiana on Saturday, then be distributed nationwide.
