And we continue to see the shutdown affects:

A 2x4 cost 7.25 at Home Depot? Certain items are difficult to obtain still.

The lumber shortage is fueled by an increased demand in new housing. Approaching the tech bubble level.

Housing prices sky rocket

Welcome to the concept of the free market. Due to very low interest rates folks can afford higher prices. It's a sellers market.

PG and many major Corp announce price increases this week on basic household supplies

Watch out for low toilet paper supply. The largest paper pulp producer in Brazil has its employees being ravaged by Covid. Which the Brazilian gov claimed was not a problem.

Gas prices closing in on $3 soon headed to $4

Have you ever heard of OPEC? Where they control supply, and price. Duuh.

Oh try to get some furniture these days LOL

With a lumber shortage, and housing demand should it be surprising?

Seems economic education in this country has failed miserably.

Yeah shutting down the economy during CV was smart.

Absolutely. It prevented a couple million deaths.

It’s May...are we back to where we were yet?

Getting there. From the WSJ:

A burst of growth put the U.S. economy just a shave below its pre-pandemic size in the first quarter, extending what is shaping up to be a rapid, consumer-driven recovery this year.

Imagine that. Any other bogus complaints?

Read the news lately genius?

On April 25, 2017, the Trump administration announced plans to impose duties of up to 24% on most Canadian lumber, charging that lumber companies are subsidized by the government.[35] The duties are on the five firms: West Fraser Mills, Tolko Marketing and Sales, J. D. Irving, Canfor Corporation, and Resolute FP Canada. West Fraser Mills will pay the highest duty of 24%.[36]
