Did you forget the shortage of computer chips? Paper products, not just TP....all kinds of cleansers, PPE, furniture (actually anything from China)....

Trump's trade war was largely to blame for computer chip shortages.

The Global Chip Shortage: A Timeline of Unfortunate Events

COVID-19 has sent traumatic ripples through supply chains around the globe, but the semiconductor supply chain was fragile long before governments shut down and catastrophe struck. In a culmination of negative variables, the chip shortage has amassed over the years from a series of unfortunate...

You would blame Biden instead of where the cause is clear. The slow down is due to the virus and striking workers (truck drivers) wanting a living wage. Those two factors are the essence of the problem.

As my post shows...shortages were becoming an issue even before Covid. Trump's trade war with China set up computer chip shortages and a resulting slowdown in the production of cars and a lot of other products as well.

Drought has hit farmers hard in a lot of places.

Covid caused a lot of manufacturers and producers to cut back in response to the slowdown in demand. Some companies went out of business....the result of the pandemic is something we have not experienced since 1918. It will take time to return to normal.

I guess it hurts to have to be reminded of the fact that you didn't blame Trump for the shortages of 2019/2020 eh?

You're a hypocrite.

These 5 foods show how coronavirus has disrupted supply chains
Even as demand soars at grocery stores and food banks, farmers are forced to dump milk and let vegetables rot. Here's why.

As is evident, you're correct. Trump's trade war with China and drought also played a big factor that played hell with demand and supply.

"Mass euthanasia of livestock, millions of gallons of dumped milk, piles of fresh vegetables left to rot in the sun: Images of farmers dumping their products stand in stark contrast to those showing mile-long lines for food banks."

That is sickening!

It was much the same in the depression. Grapes of Wrath talks about farmers destroying an entire crop because they couldn't make any money....

I'd prefer to give it away...

That is a lie. Trump did not start a trade war with China. There was already one in progress, since the idiot presidents Clinton, GWB and Obama had their heads up their asses. Trump forced China to play by the rules.

Biden caused this with his jacking up energy prices and creating runaway inflation for the first time since Carter.

There were no chip shortages during the successful Trump administration. The economy was the best of all time, even surviving the Covid crisis.

 

[reason10]

Covid did not create the massive inflation and skyrocketing gasoline prices that caused this. Biden deserves full credit for this disaster. He inherited an expanding economy and used his executive order to destroy it.

https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/

#1 and 2: Adopting new EPA oil and gas rules
Last month, the Environmental Protection Agency announced new regulations governing methane emissions from oil and gas production, transmission, storage, and distribution that would cost more than $1 billion a year.
In the spring, Biden signed a resolution that overturned Trump administration reforms to EPA oil and gas rules. This resolution will worsen energy poverty, reestablish burdensome regulations, and have a disproportionate impact on small businesses.
#3, #4, #5, #6, #7, and #8: Restricting or impeding energy projects
One of Biden’s first actions after taking office was to halt new oil and gas leases on federal lands and waters — a move that results in higher energy costs for the most vulnerable consumers.
The administration canceled the Keystone XL pipeline and suspended oil and gas leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and New Mexico (despite opposition from the Navajo Nation). It also resurrected the “Waters of the United States” rule, which would increase barriers to energy projects.
The White House is pursuing new standards for particulate matter and ozone, likely tightening them to unachievable levels for much of the country and creating new barriers for energy project permits. The president also has rescinded Endangered Species Act reforms, a move that will increase red tape and allow litigation to slow down energy projects.
#9: Rejoining the Paris agreement
In April, without the consent of Congress, Biden rejoined the Paris agreement, which will result in onerous new regulations that could raise energy costs.
#10: Appointing unaccountable energy regulators
The president has created several bodies within the White House charged with creating new policies to regulate energy. The people who run these councils are unelected and do not need Senate confirmation, but they have been given broad powers to come up with new executive actions — which do not need consent from Congress — to regulate U.S. energy production.
#11: Forcing states to restrict driving
One section of the recently enacted Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, supported by the White House, would require every U.S. state to develop state carbon-reduction plans that must be approved by the U.S. Department of Transportation as well as be updated every four years. These plans are aimed at reducing driving all over the country — even for people in rural areas where public transportation is limited and driving is the only option.
#12, #13, and #14: Raising the prices of cars and trucks
Biden has failed to take action on annual requirements and small refinery waivers for the Renewable Fuel Standard and in providing regulatory relief from this biofuel mandate due to economic hardship. His EPA also is pursuing a new rule regulating greenhouse gas emissions from cars and trucks. That single regulation could raise the average vehicle price by $1,000.
#15: Instituting a new policy on carbon taxes in organized wholesale electricity markets
This carbon pricing policy statement, issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in April 2021, is a blanket endorsement of top-down policies that have been demonstrated to be costly, ineffective, regressive, and consistently rejected by the American people.
#16: Raising the prices of common household necessities
The EPA has issued a final rule to phase out a common, inexpensive refrigerant. This policy is a de facto tax on air conditioning and refrigeration.
#17: Stifling energy innovation
In May, Biden issued a sweeping executive order that mobilized federal agencies, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, to enforce mandates on businesses, insurers, retirement funds, and suppliers. These policies will stifle innovation critical to improving the environment and will increase costs for a wide variety of businesses.
#18: Altering regulatory cost analyses
The Biden administration has changed key inputs for economic and regulatory analysis, including raising the “social cost” of greenhouse gases. These policies will mask the true consumer cost of regulatory actions.
#19 and #20: Imposing new costs on power generation
The administration resurrected an aggressive version of the Clean Power Plan for power sector mandates. This policy would impose burdensome regulations but would have little or no environmental benefit. The EPA also has mandated that even facilities with reduced emissions must remain on the list of “major” sources, subjecting these facilities to permitting burdens and higher costs.
#21: Impeding Americans exports
The administration is considering potential restrictions on the export of crude oil that would increase, not decrease, energy prices.
#22 and #23: Raising taxes
More than one-quarter of the administration-backed Build Back Better plan is pulled directly from the “Green New Deal.” The Build Back Better plan includes new taxes on natural gas and home heating. It also includes new taxes on petroleum and manufacturing.
#24: Picking energy winners and losers
The Build Back Better plan would spend taxpayer dollars to push utilities to adopt more costly, politically preferred forms of energy, a move that would reduce Americans’ energy choices.
#25: Fueling the fire for future regulation
Finally, through the Civilian Climate Corps, Build Back Better would fund the salaries of tens of thousands of anti-energy activists who would perpetuate high energy costs by demanding new and costly federal regulations and legislation.
Unlike releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, these 25 steps are not just a “drop in the ocean.”
They have made, and will continue to make, a significant impact on Americans’ ability to afford the energy products that fuel their lives and livelihoods.

There were no shortages of those years, even with Covid. Shortages occur today because of Biden Inflation and Biden energy cost spikes. President Trump left the country an expanding economy and Biden destroyed it.

The legislation related to hydrofluorcarbons was passed in 1990. Freon was being phased out over the years. Why didn't the AFP bunch bitch in 2019 when even more restrictive rules on Freon when into effect?

Will New R/22 Freon Regulations Affect Your AC?

Freon will no longer be made starting in 2020 and will begin the process of being phased out of use completely. Here's what these new Freon regulations may mean for your air conditioner.

www.onehourheatandair.com

None of Biden's policies have reduced domestic oil production. Keystone was nowhere near complete and was being tied up in court by Eminent Domain lawsuits because farmers didn't want the pipeline across their land. Would you have confiscated their land?

The Civilian Climate Corps legislation puts people to work making repairs to buildings to make them more energy efficient.

Your post argues that the people working on those projects will be "anti-energy" activists. Pretty stupid claim...
