I can put up with nasty tweets a lot better than I can Bidenflation.For your consideration ...
Though I'd post the spikes, and dips, of the latest manipulated commodities that are occurring in our booming economy.
Natural Gas: +176%
Heating Oil: +100%
Gasoline: +91%
WTI Crude: +70%
Cotton: +66%
Brent Crude +65%
Nickel: +55%
Wheat: +54%
Coffee: +48%
Soybeans: +11%
Sugar: +9%
US CPI: +8.3%
Corn: +8%
Copper: -1%
Gold: -2%
Silver: -21%
Lumber: -55%
What's the time frame for this? Lumber may be down 55%, but a 2x4x8' was up from $2 to $10 over the past 2 years. 55% down means its still way up.For your consideration ...

Figures are current, and are as well futures numbers. Just because lumber is trading lower, -55% from it's high, does not mean that retailers have, or will, adjust their prices to reflect.What's the time frame for this?

More lumber related information here ...Does it mean 55% down from its peak .?
Decking boards last Oct were 18.98 for 5/4x6x16. By March they were 26.98. Now they back to Oct prices.
That's pretty high, but the longer lengths are usually more expensive exponentially than 8 foot lengths. It sounds like you got a bargain.I bought 1 pressure treated 2X8 10 foot long and another 14 foot long for the wharf and it was $61.00.
Seemed expensive to me.
Come the summer, it is going to get crazyLooks like gas is going up 7.5% this week...
Good, refresh the bastards memoryCome the summer, it is going to get crazy
It isn't unexpected, in fact I thought it would have been higher already.
Not that I like that.
But we have the so-called summer blend coming in, and the non-ethanol will kick up as more people use their boats and lawn mowers.
Yep it's going to be a pricy ride this summer. Vacations are not going to be cheap with less people traveling and motel and gas costs rising.
As far as I know the electricity suppliers have not started increasing the infrastructure to cover the increasing need for electricity. I haven't seen any new power plants opening, in fact I see them closing down. The new structures to cover the increase needed are not going in place. When it starts there will be big cost increases. Electricity will be more expensive than fossil fuels in the future. I don't have 30 Grand to put solar panels in my yard and and I don't want a $2500 dollar battery charger in my garage, and I don't want a $90,000 dollar electric pick-up truck that won't haul a load or a trailer for 300 miles without a charge.For your consideration ...
In 3 ..... 2 ..... 1 .... Waiting for the EV owners to chime in, in how much better off they are. Though, residential electricity is now totaling, all costs included, over .15 cents per KW.
