    Sir, why do you hate the free market

    Anyway yeah its funny what happens to lumber prices in the aftermath of a global pandemic plus a major winter storm that caused innumerable pipes to burst and flood homes.

      The sawmills are cartels and always been. People just finally having it effect them personally so ofc the easiest answer is to point to someone they already disliked. But really he is complicit if he doesn't have people investigating them for artifical scarcity and price gouging. I mean, he won't, but he should. So should states

      Just throwing it out there but Koch owns a massive share of both lumber and major sawmills. Many people are forming their own sawmills now to get around this bullshit. Timber is still higher than normal but not so much people can't start milling their own wood if they have enough startup capital

      I'll try to find a more informative thread on the matter I read the other day but this dude knows what's up https://twitter.com/LiliaDragonX/status/1389610964774014986
