The blogger headline guide:

Prices go up: Women and minorities hurt most!

Prices go down: Prices hurt most!

(Just remember: All news is bad news!)

Yet I still cannot afford a damn piece of plywood to fix my back porch.

$90 at Lowes.

That’s insane.

See “Portable Sawmills” A couple of guys figured it would be more economical to buy one and cut their own lumber to finish their project. Then sell it.
I love this Country!

Good. Let them suffer. Of course, they sang on the way to the bank with the $$$$$ they made off jacked up prices.

Yup, and that’s why I’m somewhat glad we can’t get a contractor here in North Idaho that can begin construction earlier than 10 months out.

It says it is still double from pre-COVID. That is significant.

Indeed. That's the unspoken hooker in all this "Transitory" crap that I wish some reporter would ask these Fed spinmasters, i.e. "When you say 'Transitory', do you mean prices will fall back to their old levels or only part way?"
"crickets" or . . "What about those UFOs?"

Around that price. Yeah. Usually only one brand of PT in stock. 21-22 bucks a board. Not much to choose from.

You wouldn’t know it if you went to Home Depot or Lowes today.

It probably will take some time for those prices to drop to match the futures drop.

“I was told 3 months ago if I waited a year to buy wood to build a new fence I would be paying way more..☺

Ya gotta love all these financial experts.”

Many financial experts are academics who follow their ideology rather than reality.

The only way to defeat inflation, is to withhold purchasing until pricing aligns with your income. If you use panic/emotion based purchasing then you actually provide fuel for inflation.

Take your time and let the price come to you.

So much speculation. Same with the insane price of copper right now.
