Weird shit is going on. There are shortages occurring. Tell me what you are seeing. I've noticed the following:
Lumber
Building materials in general
Cars
Pokemon cards
What else?

Two things...
I agree with your second point. I work in the building industry and they are saying the lumber shortage is due to the border with canada being closed. Been hearing about lumber shortages for a while now.
Huh. I wonder if intentional. It was pointed out for years that Canada screwed us by exporting cheap lumber to us, subsidized by their government. I wonder if they were playing games still with the new treaty?
But I did read an article where northern mills and lumberyards couldn’t get enough people back to work. South wasn’t having that employee shortage.
I think some of that was because of all the pipes freezing in the south during the big freeze in. February a lot of plumbing is in the ceiling burst pipes, but that's just a guess.
I've done work for builders and plumbers the last few years. One of them was down by the coast a week or two ago. He said he's STILL fixing busted pipes and it's been 3 months already.
