Formula ain’t cheap.

That’s on the retail end. It doesn’t cost very much to make, and it’s so regulated that the cheapest brand is nearly chemically identical to the most expensive.

Know what? It’s bullshit that people are gathered at midnight on Check Day to buy it. If there’s one thing that the government should be able to provide, it’s baby formula. Free formula to everyone who needs it. Take two drops out of the bucket of defense spending and give a generous supply of formula to every month to every child that needs it.

Who the hell could be against the government feeding babies? Oh right, Nestle. And they have money to buy congressmen and poor babies don’t.

I’ve told this story many times since. I get a lot of reactions, because it’s a strange tale – to think you could find out so much online about a thief, to think what a bizarre wormhole I found into one stranger’s life. But what took me a long time to realize, what I missed at first amid my drama of violation and vengeance, was the remarkable displays of kindness I experienced from absolute strangers – people who retrieved scraps of paper from lawns, picked up piles of discarded cards from a dirty train station floor, drove miles to restore someone’s belongings, searched Facebook to find me. If I were mathematically inclined, I might even observe that in my tale, the good guys outnumbered the bad guys, by about 10 to one.
