Loading ...we all know how they muzzled gold and silver for decades. Check the lumber chart. No gains for decades. It never went up uniformly, lock step with inflation like a postage stamp pizza slice or new house or car.
So after 2008 it’s plain to see, the “free market” special interests price of lumber can’t get away with price suppression anymore. Like holding the ball under water too long and it pops straight up when released.
Basically “free markets” of Labor and Materials values have been suppressed behind the curve since they started busting the air traffic controllers, and United Auto Workers tax payer unions. Tax absorber jobs tend to pay pretty good.
