    Shortage of baby formula in the US amid rising inflation

Families across the US are dealing with an increasing scarcity of baby formula. The shortage, which has been exacerbated by pandemic-related supply chain issues and recent product recalls, has caused the price of formula to skyrocket in some communities.

The shortage began in 2021, owing primarily to production or distribution issues, and by mid-March, 29 percent of formula inventory was out of stock nationwide, according to Axios.

According to Datasembly, a consumer product data analytics firm, the shortage increased to 31% in April.

WVIT, a Connecticut-based NBC affiliate, discovered that a three-pack of Similac baby formula sold for $238 on eBay, plus an extra $20 for shipping. A wholesale store will charge you around $130 for the same item.

According to CBS News, drugstore chains such as Walgreens and CVS Health, as well as some retail chains, have recently limited the number of formulas consumers can purchase at one time.

Within the first six months after birth, approximately three out of every four babies are given formula as a complete or partial substitute for human milk.

It is worth mentioning that many experts believe that Bidenflation (a portmanteau for "Biden" and "inflation") is crippling the US economy and causing severe supply shortages, not to mention affecting people’s personal finance.

According to an ABC News/Ipsos poll, 75% of Americans believe Biden's economy is "not so good" or "poor," while only 1% believe it is "excellent."

Biden has failed to deliver on his promise to alleviate supply chain bottlenecks, and cargo ships are now waiting even further out at sea.

Regular Americans are paying the price and suffering as a result of the Biden Administration's failed transportation policies.

This comes as Biden faces new challenges and a divided public, with his foreign and economic policies seen as a direct cause of instability across the globe.
