As we head into heating season it's appropriate to check up on recent shortages.
Pharmaceuticals
Back in October I wrote about shortages of Adderall and Ozempic (a diabetes medication). This month we can add shortages of antibiotics such as amoxicillin and Augmentin (a form of amoxicillin).
This seems almost unbelievable to me since pharmaceutical grade amoxicillin is still readily available from Pet Meds. I suppose that pets aren't willing to pay a premium to get critical antibiotics.

There are also shortages of Tamiflu and other over-the-counter cold medications.
Apparently, there is also a shortage of ibuprofen so try not to get a New Year's Eve hangover.
If you want to get nervous, here's a list of roughly 180 pharmaceutical products that the FDA's current shortage list. www.drugs.com/drug-shortages/
Baby Formula
Remember the baby formula shortage that started almost a year ago? Sure you do. Well the Administration put a band-aid on the problem for a few months by shipping formula in from the UK. But the shortage continues and the King's Subjects can longer afford to bail Joe out. Manufacturers are saying the shortage will continue until spring.

Diesel
There is a growing global shortage of diesel and home heating fuel. Here in the US, the diesel shortage has impacted the Southeastern states and a shortage of home heating oil will have a major impact on the New England states this winter (Heating oil is still used extensively in the Blue Northeast where the scream the loudest for the rest of us to cut our carbon footprints).

Over the long run the situation will only get worse. Based on the relentless pandering to Climate Hysterians, the CEO of Chevron flatly states that there will never be another refinery built in the US.
