They were almost $8 bucks a board. This is Joe Biden's economy. Boards were a third the price under Trump.
I don't mean to get in the way of your fun, but this is not a nearly perfect explanation. Lumber prices began increasing in Q1 2020. Then COVID happened and they dropped sharply in April - a very temporary state of affairs. Then with unprecedented increases in demand in the repair/remodel market in the spring, prices began to take off and have been climbing since. The free money for buying houses Americans can't afford has certainly helped that along, and here we are. The largest producers of wood products file these reports with the SEC where they not only provide their financial results for the prior period, but they explain the economic drivers and context of that performance and discuss expectations in this thing called Management's Discussion and Analysis. Here's where you can find them: www.sec.gov
You can find a lot of things to fault with Biden; this isn't really one of them. Wood products are commodities and their history is one of boom and bust. We're in boom right now, and that didn't start 2021. Trump publicly shit a chicken when the Fed even hinted at a rate hike. He's as guilty as anyone with the money printing press.
Actually, Trump is not as guilty as anyone. Trump's proposed second stimulus was half that of the final Dem bill. That's an extra trillion that gets printed. The lockdown was all Fow Chee, a complicit MSM and dem governors. Drove by the soccer fields on Saturday and watched second graders playing with phucking masks on. Geezus.
Actually, you're skipping over the main issue like it's a side issue. Trump wanted the printing machines running 24/7 and freaked out at the suggestion of slowing it down. Everybody knows it. That's the main issue. It's been going on for a very long time. He didn't start it; but he sure af didn't want to end it, or even help it.
Also, who did Fauci work for? Remind me. There will never be a cogent argument that washes Trump's hands of the virus completely. You put a Democratic POTUS in there during the same time, have him do the exact same things, and this place is losing its collective mind.
Stimulus is stupid. 100% politics. It does nothing but kick a large can down the road. So Trump's was half. Ok, who cares? So he's half as guilty on that one point.
Not quite...Trump screamed when the Fed decided to shrink its balance sheet in 2018 while he was President when they decide to play fast and loose for the 9 years before. Amazing timing that. Balance sheet was basically flat from 2015 to 2018.
Agree stimulus is stupid, especially because it cascaded to truly shitty Pandemic policy. He spent like a drunken sailor, but he had a booming economy that allowed it (any recession would have been a massive problem). And Trump was truly shitty about dealing with a bureaucracy hell-bent on getting rid of him...amazing for a guy who got famous for firing people.

Totally agree. I think Trump was like “you’re going to do this now? On my watch? Fuck off.”
But like we said in the club, no pres wants to be at the plate when what has to be done is done. My main point is, money printing isn’t a real policy differentiator. My lesser point is that Trump can’t be 100% absolved for COVID for reasons we’ve already litigated here.

Trump's a fag. You're all fags. That being said I'd marry into your families. Specifically the creep and the Throbber.
