Why were there no posts like this when prices jumped due to Biden?

bc it was a global pandemic and the US was actually outcompeting a bunch of our peer countries.
This time, there isnt a pandemic, and the US is falling far, far behind, while pissing off all our allies.
Tariffs are horrendous economic policy.

What did Biden do that directly raised prices?

Because, like other commenter's said, you can't tie price increases under biden to specific policy he implemented with a concrete start date.
This isn't the case here. Tariffs were signed on Saturday and take effect Tuesday. Any price increases we see this week can directly be attributed to the tariff plans trump put in place.

Because he didn't do anything mind numbingly stupid as imposing tarrifs on our closest trading partners that we could point to and say, "this is going to screw us all".

The higher price wasn't "due to Biden". It was the avian flu.... millions of birds were culled. It takes 5-6 months for new chickens to start producing eggs.
And we are in another round of the avian flu...

Does your community college offer economics classes? You might want to take one.
