Why the cost increase?

I wonder how GRs prices are doing? Option for the speakers anyway?

Now the house? Maybe I’ll go with adobe brick.. Make my own.

Hope the price of digging up mud hasn’t gone up.

Gouge myself and see how that feels, a double screwin’

There is no doubt that a person that will work his butt off for half the day and picket his own job site the other half a day is a person in conflict.. I’m not that bad yet..;-)

Now look, no Admin step in. WHY? We all stayed civil and voiced an opinion that affect us all.. 

Stereo Stuff!!! Cost more... WHY??

• When was the last time YOU told someone to watch their language? WHEN???

I’m with you on this one. As for me, I’ve set people straight a number of times at our local high school football games. Idiots. Teens and grown men using foul language when women and children are present is a no-no as far as I’m concerned. Oh yeah, I’ve been given "The Bad Eye" a number of times, but they seem to shut their mouths after I’ve said something. What surprises me is, I’m the only one who seems to care.

PS:  Check out the social security system in Chile.

Anyone notice how the only voices you now hear about ending UI is from the people here, and that it's no longer a big thing with the right wing media and politicians anymore? 

I haven't heard it once in the last couple of weeks except for here, in this echo chamber. Could it be that the benefits that companies got from the CARES act expired in June? You know, the one that allowed companies to deduct 50-70% of what they paid their employees up to $10K/quarter on their tax liabilities? When that ran out, they had nothing more to whine about so it's now onto the next manufactured crisis.

So now it's lumber? Canadian lumber is heavily subsidized by their government and dumped here at prices so low, it undercuts US suppliers. So where's the thievery coming from?

And as for welfare, why are public lands with publicly owned trees subsidizing the logging industries with below market rental rates on the land and with taxpayers paying for the logging roads to be built?

Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

In the late '90s it was almost half a billion/year in taxpayer subsidies for the logging industries. I wonder what it is now? Nothing like socializing the costs and privatizing the gains. Don't you people see that it's always been socialism for the rich and unregulated capitalism for the poor? Why do you think they hate the idea of socialism so much? Hint: because it works so well when you twist and pervert the use of it.

They've got you all fighting and complaining about the crumbs that fall on the floor but no one's smart enough to look at what they're feasting on at the table. And, that feast is the biggest, propped up by government racket going. In the past, the aristocracies used to employ extreme levels of violence to maintain their positions, but now, all they have to do is buy off their favorite politician.

All the best,

one 2" x 8" x 16 ft pine board:     $52    I choked and bought it for a project for my wife.  The porch will just wait...
I get some of the anger but hope the O.P. finds some relief from the anger; it's not good for one's physical being (or mental).

Hey folks it's very simple if you don't want lockdowns everyone needs to GET VACCINATED.
