<p>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</p>

<div>Look at it from the standpoint of the family that owns the
local lumber yard. They have bills to pay - maybe the yard
still has a mortgage, and there's electricity, payroll,
benefits, taxes, etc. They probably do OK when business is
normal, say there's a million board feet going out the door at
$1/bdft, so they bring in a million dollars. Point is that
most of it goes to paying those bills I just mentioned. But
what about now? There is a lumber shortage. They can't get
lumber as easily any more. They might be able to move only
half a million board feet, but those bills are still there, so
they need to put the price up to $2/bd ft to bring in a
million dollars to pay the bills.</div>

<div dir="ltr">I don't necessarily agree with what the video
is representing . In my area ( Sulphur Louisiana ) , lumber
prices doubled and sometimes tripled from one week till the
next week . It can be blamed on hurricanes , which we went
through back to back last year , or forest fires last year
but my thoughts are people being greedy and ripping us off
and there is NOTHING we can do except pay the price , or ,
do without . Same thing with the steel building components ,
prices tripled with-in two weeks . Just my opinion of how we
are being taken advantage of .</div>

I happened across this video just a few days ago.
Several factors, but the central theme boils down to
basic supply and demand.<br>
