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
There's also no chip shortage. Everything is manipulated to inflate prices
Came here to say this. We are desperate for chips in my industry. I originally bought the company’s explanation on why they are so short, but I’ve been questioning how a few weeks of downtime could cause the INSANE shortages we are seeing not and how no one saw this coming a year ago…I just don’t buy anything anyone mainstream says anymore.
no steel shortage either, I would guess the prices are inflated. Certain sheets of steel/aluminum are over $100 higher than what I was paying for in oct/nov
grocery stores like Kroger like to claim "shortage" on all sorts of items. they have been doing this for years. I've found it was due to not getting a price they want so they would just sell out and claim shortage until they had to buy.
They've been doing this for the last year with meat and other items while every other store has no issue having these items in stock.
Chip of what?
computer chips
Thank you. Totally spaced. Long day.
Right it's hard to get computer graphic cards and certain CPUS.
Everyone blaming COVID.
However I do think the Evergreen shipping container event did affect a lot fo supply chain ETAs. (My company was affected.)
