I love the right wing idiocy. The idea that Biden is creating the shortages...nuts.
Imposing tariffs on trading partners did two major things that are affecting the nation today.
First importers did not import as much because they were paying more per unit. Example. If you buy 10 marbles for a dollar from China; you have 10 marbles in stock for customers. When the marbles become more expensive...you buy fewer. Idiots are the ones who believe that you continue to import 10 marbles. Budgets and profit margins are pretty important to CEOs, and corporations. Earnings, profit/loss are tied to bonuses, stock prices etc...
And, hopefully, you guys have given up on the whole "exporters pay tariffs" nonsense. And the companies that make the marbles did one or two things (or both). Started selling to nations that didn't penalize them and/or scaled back poduction.
So XYZ corporation is sitting there with 8 marbles in the warehouse instead of 10. Then stimulus kicks in and later on the pandemic restrictions decrease due to the vaccine and military conflict level deaths. The consumers that XYZ who have survived now have monies they didn't have before so they go looking for marbles. There used to be plenty on hand in warehouses across the nation. Now there isn't.
The reason we have more freighters on the west coast than the east coast is because....wait for it....we buy more from Asia than we buy from Europe. It has precious little to do with regulations or some nebulous shadowy agenda. Although there are likely some delays due to California's tough enforcement of covid 19 protocols
Its people with money wanting to buy more than there is available.
