i understand your example with a warehouse of OSB boards and amazon slaves. What happens with products like netflix downloads and petman robots working at amazon, while the trucks start driving themselves?
As i said. Amazon slaves will not carry 2x as much boxes and trucks will have same capacity. Even if prices doubles, they will not be able to increase productivity this far to offset inflation. Stocks will not drop, they will rise in dollars by 30% for example, but bitcoin will double by amount of inflation FED is doing. But in comparison to bitcoin, atocks will go down... Anybody with warehouse with OSB boards will beat best stocks at wallstreet. Same is with bitcoin. Scarcity wins in inflation scenario. Not productive companies...
Yes I had paid $40ish for OSB, now it’s like $17
The taliban have been around since the crusades. Maybe not by the same western name, But just because the west calls them something different doesnt mean they are different. Osama bin laden and some of his generals had meetings with hitler during ww2. The taliban was made by OSB.
As a tradesmen material has skyrocketed. A 4x8 sheet of 7/16th OSB plywood was around 8 dollars beginning of last year. It's now up to nearly 48 dollars a sheet. Everything from roofing to artificial turf to wire has all seen some steep increases this year.
Forget Lambo, at this rate I'm aiming much higher! Sheet of 7/16 OSB, here I come!
Australian guy on r/diy was talking about how he was quoted $100,000+ for 13 windows in a normal sized ranch home that is fairly modern. A guy came into my job today and said a sheet of 1/2" OSB for his deck was $76...which costed $25 last year. We are out of many supplies at the auto garage I work at, and found out today a normal shipping container are supplier gets good in went up from $5k to $20k...and therein lies the issue and reason for shortages. A 400% increase in shipping costs!
Yes, until you finally can afford a sheet of 7/16 OSB.
T111 and OSB have posted the biggest gains. T111 has done so well that fiberglass molded lap board is cost competitive.
