Well, honestly, I've been watching the prices on all things creep up quietly and rapidly recently. Betcha didn't notice many cans went from 14 oz. to 13.5. Or that a box of Rice a Roni used to serve 4 portions now is 3 1/2. Or your Doritos just went from a 15 oz bag to a 14.5 oz bag (Family size). Same price or more. (Yes, I actually track this stuff.)

I've been noticing this shrinkage with gritted teeth, lol. They are giving us less for more money.

America is running short of wood from Canada, specifically British Columbia!

Lumber is in such short supply in the US that its prices have skyrocketed to an all-time high—so much so that the expense of building the average single-family home has risen by $24,000 since last April to reflect the cost of wood.

The reason, in significant part, is the changing climate—and how it enabled a beetle species to infest forests in the Canadian province of British Columbia years ago.

The US wood shortage can be traced to a decades-old beetle infestation in Canada

Lumber prices in the US have risen sharply through 2020 and into 2021. Climate change and a beetle infestation from 20 years ago have a lot to do with it.

You can count on a 16 year veneer logs and high grade lumber logs trucker to find the "why" it's going on; that trucker being me!

My Swedish built log filled rig is pictured here nearing the dreaded Dark Pages for the real deal.

If this was my Guardian Angel as a ghostly spirit's afterlife intervention what do you think?? Or could this have been someone's Guardian Angel living in North Carolina? Worldwide, truck drivers tell tall tales, and 95% of them are true. We take most with a grain of salt of which some may be...

A lot of things have had a price hike, over here the real estate market is through the roof. Everyone wants to leave the cities. The place I bought up the coast has increased by over $100 000 in 4 months.

The real estate market is hot here as well, Oz. You put it up for sale on day one and it's sold by day 2.

I agree. I ran into issues just trying to find some lumber and when I did the price was sky high. Perhaps this is the increased manufacturing cost that Scott is reporting.
