Not watching a 45 minute video. That is 9 months old.

Why don't you summarize the 3 most important points/items/issues.

In my opinion we're being scammed, but here at GJ there is a lot of intelligent people who may watch this video and agree or they may say that its another propaganda video just to get us all torque up. I'm not at the top of the list as far as intelligent when it comes to ways our economics works but I believe there are people here who does. Reason for my question.
If this is not worthy of your time there is a back button

Being "scammed" or not, the prices are outrageous (since January) so "IF" you don’t like the price move on or bite the bullet...... Things are only gonna worse with the rise in fuel prices and labor rates so if you have a project that MUST be done buy supplies now.

BTW! Have you checked prices on electrical wire and ammo?

Anybody can put together a 45 minute video to convince you of anything. Omitting details or wrong stats make it easy.

Without watching I’ll summarize.

Supply and demand.

They will charge what the market will pay. Low interest rates, hurricanes and fires have demand at all time high levels.

There's another factor in play we aren't allowed to discuss here.

My office is about 200’ from the property of a large sawmill. They never slowed up but got a million bucks of government money.

sounds like one of those OAN news I just watched.... mixed in some truth, twisted some facts... anyways I got through half way and my mind kept saying wtf this guy is smoking.

Thanks guys I just wanted to do a reality check, I came across this video while back and watch all of it. Then came across it again and watch all of it which has made me mad again. I don't know how saw mills can be burned down and no one is caught. But I do know this, I meet a guy here in Tx that moving back to Iowa. That guy was a farmer who was selling all his garage items. So southalabama may have hit the nail on head.

Where is the evidence that sawmills were burned down? There isn't.

You can quote a bunch of news articles about sawmill fires in 2020, but nothing about fires in 2019, or 2018, or 2017...

Without a baseline you don't even know if there was an increase.

I'm no fire expert, but I have enough common sense to know that a sawmill is at a much higher risk of fires than say a water treatment plant. You know. Wood dust in the air.

https://www.genre.com/knowledge/publications/pmint1803-en.html

According to these statistics, approximately 3% of sawmills experience fire-related losses in one year.

If a sawmill has a 1 in 33 chance of burning down in any given year, and....

According to IBISWorld market research, there are over 3,000 businesses in the United States in the sawmills and wood production industry.

Then 91 of them would burn down every year. During a normal year.
