And in none of those other "necessities" is there a futures market where deep pocket speculators can bid up prices hoping to sell to someone who will pay even higher prices, or can bid up prices to squeeze out short sellers who have speculated that price spikes must correct themselves.

And the other neat thing is you get to speculate on all the competing official government actions and which way they will drive prices - [dump supply, ease restriction, dump cash - raising prices - ignore the economy we have to get rid of Trump - more regulation because building for people creates greenhouse gases and cutting trees removes a sink for green house gases. It's a wonderful world. But, at the end of the day it's just commodity, and supply and demand will balance out in the end.

Two weekends ago, on an intersection out in the sticks, I had to go around a stopped semi pulling a flatbed with what appeared to be 4 full lifts of 2x4's, with the driver outside and looking at a troublesome wheel.

For a split second, I had contemplated crime. Fortunately, I'm a decent guy and not a thief.

Sad times we're in, that I end up thinking like that.
