There are a LOT of these type vids showing the BS narrative of Lumber shortages. Nothing short of market manipulation to drive up prices, most notably homes. Why Homes? Part of the American dream is to buy a house. Can't do that if they're priced out of the average middle class incomes: look at California where you pay $500k for a damn shack.
Do some investigating.
Here's a primer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nW4drJW37U
Supply and demand. Disrupt the supply: fuel increases, worker shortages, supply lines crippled in many ways. Increase the demand: driving suburbians out, flooding the real estate market while simultaneously driving prices thru the roof with their wealth making it a seller's market. People with a plan left the plagued areas re-settling elsewhere and lots of new construction as a result. It's like this with every aspect of life involving money or business, or even PROGRESS!!! :(
Same for the company which makes (or one of) the chemical (ACQ?) used to pressure treat plywood. I noticed this a year ago when I ordered a lot of PT for a fence I was building. Thankfully I got it all delivered before the prices skyrocketed.
It’s definitely a supply and demand problem
