> I live in South America, taxes are 10% and there’s no shortage of formula. There doesn't seem to be a shortage in Europe either, where taxes are much higher and with your argument, the government may be even more effective. It's an argument I seem to hear often: government is simultaneously all powerful and completely ineffective. But I'll stay open and curious: what did the US government do to primarily or fully cause a shortage of infant formula?
