I need to buy a sheet of 3/4" ply and a sheet of 3/4" MDF and am disgusted. Fucking lefties running from the cities are wrecking the country and lumber prices.

I mean maybe, but it's 100% more likely printing trillions of dollars will debase your currency buying power instead.

Wolfgang is correct in this instance.

Yes, but this is a case of lumber prices going up, not prices generally going up.

I bought some for an upcoming summer project several months ago when the jews stole the election.

I wanted to but couldn’t because I was unemployed because the Jews shut down the economy and I was laid off. Now I have a job again (making significantly less money) and everything is way more expensive.

FUCK THE KIKES

Hi wolf!

I cheated and bought thin underlayment to enclose this beam. You're probably not doing anything as easy to fake, though.

This is terrifying. People are resourceful though and will find a way to survive... It's about to be a terrible time to look like someone with resources...

Inflation is not a necessary part of life. It is a jewish scam to get you to invest your money with wall street.

Inflation is a way to get you to spend NOW vs later. Literally that's it, the general idea being prices will be higher later so invest now. Tell yourself, why would a "stable" currency require trillions in bailouts, inflation and perpetual normalization (when you chop off the zeros) to maintain solvency?

Thats true. I think its more of a motivator in the sense that, as the dollar is continuously loosing value, they can give you a higher and higher quantity of dollars and make you feel artificially wealthier than you actually are. You get a raise but it really isn’t a raise.

But I also think it a major motivator to invest in the stock market. Alot of people would rather just add to savings in the bank if they knew it wasn’t going to be worthless in 20 years.

Weimar all over again, your house is worth 3 times more, but the purchase power of the dollar is a quarter of what it used to be before you bought the house. But hey, my house "increased" in value

If you don't, you'll have to work well beyond retirement.

They want you a slave forever, you cannot build your assets then live off of your land and physical investments.

There are multiple reasons for this.

  • Late 2018, through 2019, and into early 2020 - Lumber mills saw a massive amount of arson across the country. (If you try to search for news stories, they've been memory holed and almost completely unsearchable.) This was done in order to prepare for the pandemic. They needed ways of keeping people desperate and under control. They couldn't have everyone becoming independent, moving, starting new businesses, etc. So they took out many of the lumber mills.

  • Timber prices have remained the same, while lumber prices have skyrocketed. (Timber being what goes into the mill and lumber is what comes out.) Lumber can be easily imported/exported, but timber can't. So timber can only be sold for American dollars, but lumber can be sold in "international money". Due to the way they're hiding inflation, timber stays the same price. Meanwhile lumber is affected by inflation and skyrockets in price.

  • One of the lies they use to hide the above two is to pull out the supply/demand lie. (Lies work best when they hold some truth.) Yes, there has been an uptick in demand. Yes, mills slowed down slightly in early 2020 because they didn't know what would happen with demand. Yes, there are fewer mills due to arson. But more importantly, demand will drop prices, not increase prices. A mill working at 50% capacity will produce lumber at $___ per board foot. But if they increase to 100% capacity, they use the same equipment, workers, facilities. That second 50% of production will cost far less than the first 50%. Driving down the price. In the end - If the supply/demand thing wasn't a lie, we'd be seeing prices dropping back to normal right now instead of increasing.

There are multiple lies floating around right now. But in the end, they want us controlled and desperate. And inflation is increasing at a ridiculous rate.

If that was the only factor, or one of the larger factors, then the price of timber would be up along with lumber.

But the price of timber has stayed close to the same.

Soon, architects and designers will have to start using other materials in home construction other than wood or wood products. Maybe aircrete blocks?

I know it sounds stupid, but I saw a video on hemp-crete and was mildly impressed.

It's amazing how when the government says nobody can work for a year, supply is low and prices go up.

The inflation is happening in stuff people need. The stuff people don't actually need continues to get cheaper.

The real inflation hasn't even gone into the main economy. It's all flowing into stocks and cryptocurrencies, maybe even to China.

When people start selling off speculative "assets" to convert back to dollars is when the real fun starts.

Just got done doing 90' of wood fence. Materials were $1400.

God fucking damnit, this shit pisses me off. I'm finally in a position to build two houses on a lot in my small childhood town and sell off my current one that has experienced city creep, but no. Material prices are a huge kick to the nuts right now.

Look into earth bag construction. Build with the dirt on your land.

Low interest rates equals rise in house values, equals higher margins between a home and cost of building, equals more building, equals run on building supplies. It happened in 2006-2008 before the crash. Then you get the crash and experience Mises's revenge.

Low interest rates don't mean squat when anything over 400k is considered a 'Jumbo' loan forcing people to take multiple small loans that end up costing more because the second rate is double the first 'Low' rate..
