[AT] Lumber prices

[Cecil Bearden]

Steve: I sorta agree with you.  It is the same in the beef industry.  
Here the packers are making over $250 a side. when they used to be happy 
with $75.  They are using the plandemic as an excuse to gouge the 
consumer.  I would love to see so many jobs and manufacturing brought 
back to the USA, but it won't happen until the EPA allows manufacturers 
to use the USA resources. Anything concerned with Manufacturing they are 
against it..  I don't want to start a war here, Just my $0.02
