Milton Friedman said economists only know how to make two things: Shortages and surpluses, If you want shortages, set the price below what the market price is, if you want surpluses, set it above the market price. This explains gas lines in the 1970's, and empty airline seats in the same era.

When Joe Biden's handlers intervene to help there will simultaneously be shortages of eggs and black markets.
