You gotta give the Biden White House credit: Few administrations could create the conditions for so comprehensive an economic calamity as the one we're currently suffering under. Case in point:

Families nationwide are struggling with an increasingly dire baby formula shortage.

The shortage, exacerbated by pandemic-induced supply chain issues and recent product recalls, has sent the price of formula skyrocketing in certain communities.

• The shortage started in 2021 largely from production problems or distribution issues, and by mid-March, 29% of formula inventory was out of stock nationally, Axios' Nathan Bomey reports.
• It increased to 31% in April, according to Datasembly, a consumer product data analytics firm.

If you've never used formula, it might be difficult to describe just how stressful this is. Imagine the only way to feed this little nugget...

...is suddenly out of stock everywhere you go. What do you do?

Obviously you stress about it a ton, you hustle as much as you can, and you hope things work out. Not a good situation.

And yes, it's getting desperate for many:

"My baby almost went without food for a least a day because I couldn't find it and it was expensive and had almost no money to get it. I struggle sometimes to find it," Cassidy Rogers, a mother from Orchard Park, New York, told WGRZ.

In Texas, 30-year-old mother Mary Salvador told the Houston Chronicle she's been searching Facebook for formula for her 3-month-old where products could be tampered with.

This could turn into a genuine national emergency if the problem persists. Governments at every level should be moving to reduce the burden on the supply chain and ramp up production of formula as much as possible.

Anything from the Biden White House?

Ah well, guess they're too busy fighting that Florida law or whatever. No time for the little things!
