Why the cost increase?

I went to buy materials for a speaker project. I also priced some T-111 siding on 8" centers, 5/8 thick, Ship lap.
I hadn’t picked up any sheets or anything in over 18 months.

48" x 96 x 5/8 wood siding was 19-26.00 and on sale 15-20.00 per sheet, NOW 74-84.00 per sheet.

MDF 3/4" 48 x 96" if you can find it. 45-55.00 per sheet it was 22.00 to 27.00 per sheet.

2x4x8 DF stud grade 1.99-3.00 per. Now 4-6.00 per stud,

There is no shortage but there sure is a LOT of price gouging. NOTHING changed. Just the price..

The quality is worse. The workers aren’t paid worth a crap...Why the increase?

I’m getting ready to finish my home out. WOW.. I might have to rethink this a bit..

The price all most tripled in 12-18 months.. This kind of stuff is NOT cool at ALL.

Just my opinion of course. Any projects you’re doing get put on hold or STOPED?

YES I’m very frugal. Money never came easy, and it leaves the same way..

How does $300/wk work out to $4,400 a month?

It can when the fed adds $600 per week to a state's current unemployment benefits.

Economic output just grew by 6.5%. Reductions in child poverty exceeded expectations (-50%) by reducing it by 65% and overall poverty is down by 45%. Who is against that?


Even if those numbers are correct, it's not going to last being that it's all Propped up artificially by the fed.

Yes, you do have the right not to get vaccinated but you don’t have the right to infect others.



If your vaccinated you should have nothing to worry about, so why are you worried about being infected.

You really think a universal health care system is a good idea, the government never runs anything right. Healthcare would not be free, it would probably cost even more than it does now.

Think Covid , worker shortage , driver shortage , import taxes ,
forest fires , material shotages .


Why do we have a worker shortage, and driver shortage? Where did all these workers and drivers go?

We've got some really dangerous people lurking here with an agenda other than audio.


Why would you say that? Just because people don't agree with you they are dangerous and have an agenda.

There are plenty of platforms out there besides an audio site where they can feel right at home. They should try GETTR (set up by Rump's press secretary) for those that support right wing platforms.


There are plenty of platforms out there for the leftists as well, probably more than the right, seeing how social media just ban people on the right. A sitting president gets banned, but the leader of the Taliban can tweet.

It's not called global warming anymore, now it's climate change, due to the fact that for a few years temps went down so they changed it to climate change which encompasses everything.
