    <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

          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>
