Asking the wrong agency

Why is it up to the government to regulate availability OR PRICE of any retail product? Answer: it’s not!! If you’ve got a problem talk to the baby formula or gasoline companies. In a capitalist country like America that’s how it works.

The only problem I see is with the baby formula. Our country gives away more baby formula than is sold to the general public. Therefore it is a governmental purchase.If the government doesn't tell XYZ company we are going to purchase said product from you Then that company will not produce that product In the quantity needed to fulfill the demand.
This created a lack of baby formula in the market and the government went out and then purchased all the baby formula from other companies Reducing the normal supply that would be on shelves at stores. @DianneV
