They certainly are.

Beef is still high.  Gas is still high.  Home energy costs are still high.  Mortgages and rent are still high.  Chicken is still high.  and the list goes on.....

The price of building materials had been relatively  stable since the market correction of 2009.
Once Brandon declared war on our gasoline based economy that created a very predictable  panic driven increase in demand that caused HOARDERS FROM HERE TO JAPAN to outbid one another.
Of course transportation costs increases were the other prime factor.
Price increases reached early stage hyperinflationary levels and the proof was when building material retailers were forced to install electronic price tags next to all merchandise that automatically updated the very same second that the prices rose...!
Imagine paying almost 9 bucks for an 8 foot long two by four. that should only cost 2 dollars..? 
Not only were we left with  lumber prices  that sky rocketed, but the standards for what is considered "sub standard lumber" were relaxed tremendously.
The homes that were build during Brandon's first term of office  are of lower quality as a result of this and not just because those homes were carelessly slapped together by millions of Brandon's hand picked  crews Illegal Alien Carpenters from Third World  **** Hole Nations.

I can remember walking into Lowe's to buy a 16' PT 2x12......the price was $77.00, I turned around and walked out.

When my wife was still doing closing as a para legal she would tell how the prices of a home were changing due to lumber costs.  And now she is retired and goes in once a week to do post closing stuff or fills in when the new girls is off.  The amount of closings are way down because interest rates are still high.

If I had bought my house now the monthly mortgage would be over 4,000 instead of 2300.

During this time I decided to build an apartment to rent as a hedge against inflation.
I felt the same way as you did..about not wanting to pay those prices, but as they say "Necessity is the Mother of Invention"
I  already had a 1400 square foot HAY LOFT in my barn that I built out of over a hundred 16 foot long 2x6s and I decked ithe whole thing with 5/8" plywood.
It was easy to dismantle being 100% screwed together....plus I salvaged 100 metal joist hangers and buckets of deck screws.
I really enjoyed framing up the apartment with all of that FREE STUFF......   !!

This story has an even happier ending since I ended up renting the apartment  out to a couple of youngsters [no doubt Biden voting  Libs] who have already paid back 40 percent of my investment.

1.  THat is not vague at all.

2.  Is Inflation higher or lower than Jun 2021?

If you prove it is lower you will then show I don't know ****.  If you can't, it proves you are an asshole.

Answer the first time.

@Blackvegetable  

As you are lying about unanswered questions, after I have answered multiple questions from you today, are you ever going to get to this one?

Run, Boston Coward, Run.

By the way, any word on the PK?  In the interest of unanswered questions and running from YOUR words.

https://ourworldindata.org/covid-deaths

The US death rate from COVID reached its absolute highest on January 21st, 2021 and, from that day on, it plummeted.  Coincidence?  I think not.

We're only 4 percent of the world population yet we claim 25 percent of the world's death count.
We also are among the world's best at emergency medicine.
This indicates that your covid statistics are full of ****, to put it nicely.
Look at how  Alaska is separated from the lower 48 by 100s of miles..yet their official covid death count is just as bad.
Those Covid 19 particles must have built in navigation sensors to be able to tell where the US borders are with respect to Mexico and Canada...!!

He gets so upset when I do that.  He is very sensitive.  He started to call me Sarge.  Then I told him if you used that it was a sign of respect and I thanked him.

OUCH....

And there are a whole host of items that are killing the middle class.

This is INDISPUTABLY vague.

2.  Is Inflation higher or lower than Jun 2021?

It is much lower.

Remember, you don't know ****..

For the month, it was NEGATIVE.

The Consumer Price Index, a measurement of the average change in prices for a commonly purchased basket of goods and services, dropped 0.1% from May,

https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/11/economy/ ... index.html

In June, 2021 it was 0.9

On a monthly basis, headline and core prices rose 0.9% against 0.5% estimates.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/13/consume ... imate.html

If you prove it is lower you will then show I don't know ****.

Say it.
