Three months to correct a contamination problem? That is way to long. Another Biden administration failure.

    Biden knew in February that this was going to happen... and his inaction on the matter caused this.
    To top it off pallet loads of cases of formula are at the border for the illegals.

    Joe built this.

    No NanNan, just the right to abortion should never have been made a Federal issue to control.
    It should have been done at state level.

    Considering who else have the "Blue Check Mark," I would love to see her try. Notably people like Elon Musk, Dan Bongino, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Mark Levin, Mark Steyn, just to mention a few. All of those have other platforms where they annihilate her.

    Biden is catching flak from everyone on this position.
    Dumb move.

    ... many on the far right now assume than Elon Musk is now "all in" on their side. Considering that Musk only a few days stated that his intentions to purchase Twitter are on hold or is even sympathetic to many of the "wack-a-doodle" political positions the right endorses are definitely counting their chickens before they hatch.

    If the Twitter purchase does eventually go through, Musk is a very busy man and will not have time nor likely the interest to track every political story line out there.

    ... as far as the other political voices out there, if more than half of the voters in America do not listen to these biased sources, it does not matter what they say, so more chicken counting.

    Pizza has a delivery problem


    Pizza places have always been experts when it comes to delivery, flexing with remote drop-offs and robot delivery cars. But now they’re facing a problem: not enough drivers.

    In early March, Domino’s then-CEO Ritch Allison warned that a driver shortage would be a drag on business.

    “Delivery driver staffing may remain a significant challenge in the near term,” he said, pointing to a dip in deliveries in the last quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year.

    He was right — and the problem has continued into this year. In the first three months of 2022, delivery at Domino’s US stores open at least a year fell by 10.7% compared to the prior-year period, Allison said in an April analyst call, noting that he’s “disappointed” with the delivery results. Overall, sales at those stores fell 3.6% in that period, due in part to staffing issues.

    The difficulty finding and keeping employees has hampered businesses across multiple sectors, but the restaurant industry has been hit particularly hard, leading to shorter operating hours and longer wait times for customers.

    It’s not just Domino’s (DPZ). Pizza Hut, owned by Yum Brands (YUM), is also hurting. The brand’s same-store sales in the United States dropped 6% in the first quarter due to “our delivery channel, where capacity constraints limited our ability to meet demand,” said Yum Brands (YUM) CEO David Gibbs during an analyst call discussing the results. “This was driven by staffing challenges, mainly from delivery driver shortages that have been felt across the industry.”

    Slow service is bad for business, and not just because of missed sales — a few late pizzas from Domino’s could send someone straight into the arms of Pizza Hut, Papa Johns (PZZA) or another competitor.

    So how do you solve the delivery problem? Hiring more drivers is the obvious solution, but that isn’t easy.

    The US jobs market has not yet fully recovered from the pandemic, but it’s getting there. Of the 22 million jobs lost after Covid-19 hit the United States in 2020, about 20.8 million have been restored. And the labor market seems to be cooling down this year, making hiring more difficult.

    Meanwhile, demand for delivery is through the roof. Domino’s noted that although its delivery rate has fallen compared to 2021, it’s still up nearly 6% over 2019. Other restaurants are also reporting higher demand, and predict that it will stick.

    Driver shortages also could become a vicious cycle, noted Cowen restaurant analyst Andrew Charles.

    “Drivers take the job because they want to make tips. If there’s less deliveries to make .. that hurts in trying to get delivery drivers,” he said. “I don’t think this is a very easy solve.”

    Pizza companies will have to do more than just try to convince more drivers to deliver more pizzas. Filling the void will require other changes, like outsourcing phone orders to dedicated call centers, leaning more heavily on tech and, if they can swing it, charging more for pizza.
