When you have thousands of possible upstream causes, but the end consumer effectively only sees and cares about two (availability, and price) then of course it's all going to look the same. When you have a fever, cough, and shortness of breath it could be COVID, or pneumonia, or influenza, or just a cold, looks pretty similar when you have limited symptoms to work with.

Especially to the perpetually online edgelords on places like lemmy and reddit. Might as well just accept any and all conspiracy theories without evidence as well while we're at it, because they're apparently just as valid as plausible economic reasons when there is limited data. I miss when the tinfoil hat people without a shred of evidence were pushed out of society instead of being given the same platform as evidence-based conclusions.

What the hell are you ranting about? It's common knowledge that he did last term as well.

In 2018, the U.S. government under former president Donald Trump imposed a 25% tariff on certain products made in China. This included graphics cards, motherboards, SSDs, and other products that rely on printed circuit boards. The Trump administration then suspended tariffs on products such as 'graphics processing modules' and 'unfinished logic boards' in September 2019 till January 2021. The Biden administration did not remove the import rule altogether, but continued to temporarily suspend it using a temporary exclusion process.
