Printing money Was done during the Weimar Republic and that did not turn out well for Germany or the world, but they Shure meant it to help... Good intentions and happy feelings do not equate to truth, prosperity or a betterment of the human condition. So many are are sold on a idea that it was a good idea, but the wrong people were in charge.. Tell that to Venezuela. Chavez was the last President "democratically" elected.. Now look .. The world has a lush of history of how the current mentality has led to misery every where it has been tried.

History is not being taught and that is on purpose. A country of apathetic under educated citizens are easily led with little resistance. The meaning of words is being redefined to poll tested slogans. The political class is never held responsible for actions and inaccuracies (to be kind).. It is a very tuff to have a rational debate with shifting meanings of words. I thought when the birds go south and come back next year that was Migration.. Now I have no idea what it means when they come and never go back. Just another poll tested phrase for the script readers to pass on to the now un educated.


Tempted to buy a roll for the shelf in the garage tough, because when you print money and rescores are finite, the rescores increase value inversely to the money printed.
FWIW, I've been in the building/architecture industry for decades and seen these prices go up and down with the market demand. The prices are high right now, but it's because the commercial demand for product and choke points in the supply chain (2018 tariff-related material shortages which have depleted domestic warehouse stock, Covid-related reductions in production capacity and shipping delays).

As for history - I can assure you they are still teaching it. Most people have simply forgotten (or never bothered to learn) what they were taught. And why would they - you get paid 100x as much for being pretty and popular as you do for being smart.
Why would you buy so many short rolls? You will wind up with much more waste at the end Cost you more per foot of actual used wire.

I used to get 1000ft spools for 265 from Grainger. They can't get enough to stock now. Lowes and home depot will only sell 2 spools per customer. Buying 15 spools takes several trips to several stores all because of covid delays.

Damn dude. You building a grid?

Two years ago I change all wire from home, usually was like $62-$64 roll of 250ft.
But seeing now prices in lumber is wear. A simple redwood 2x8x10 was around $15, now is more than $30.

The difference is that after recently destroying Libya, all countries are now on a fiat currency with the USD still the reserve currency under the Bretton Woods Agreement. And to maintain the USD as a world reserve currency requires one entity..... the US Military.

The Weimar Republic had no such control over the world and in fact, the world was still on a gold standard. Currency debasement is nothing new and can be found in the fall of the Roman Empire on the back of wars and overwhelmed social systems.

History is available to anyone that wants to learn it.... After all, we are a nation of laws, but how many graduates have an understanding of even 1% of those laws? Add that many names of created laws and created ideologies are oxymoron's, we are a nation of idiots that does make it easier for someone to live the American Dream if they will just put in the effort.

For now it's somewhat simple supply and demand. Those selling the pine trees to the mills aren't getting any more money. The mills are the bottle neck and they discovered that they can still sell at the same rate for 2x $board/ft
Supply and demand, there you go. Like Exxon and others bought up all the smaller companies to become monopolies, Weyerhaeuser bought up all of the smaller competitors and is now the monopoly for woods.... especially plywoods and OSB. Slow the supply, less effort required for the same or more profits.

Yeah it sucks. Building a 180,000 sq ft residential building is taking much longer than expected and is costing much more than expected. Original costs for most materials has gone up 85-150%.

We bid the job for current prices and the materials costs jumped huge. Luckily our lumber, plumbing, metals, and sheetrock were all on a 5 year contract price.

Electronical is costing us hugely. 5000 ft spools were ordered before the job but we're still short about 50,000 ft of 14/3 and 40,000 short of 12/2.

The monopoly in lumber is going to last a while.

Quote from Modstang :
100% here. I paid $70.66/250' of 12/2 on 2/7/21. I cannot believe what prices have done. With so many homes under construction, these high prices are likely to hang around for a minute.
It is not just the homes driving the price of copper up. It is the worldwide push for green, for renewable energy and even electric vehicles that in total, consume far more copper than housing that will typically consume about 750' or less of thinner wire.... unless you are Bill Gates.

The tariffs have played a part, but China just removed their 25% import tariff on scrap copper and aluminum because they now want and need it that will see scrap prices rise on the back of a shortage of mining. There are a lot of parts in play, including the price of gold that is a byproduct of copper mining as much as silver is a byproduct of zinc mines that make the overall mine profitable or not.

There is plenty of copper under the ground, but the value has to be worth the cost to get it. Much like oil that the world has an absolute glut of, the value has to be worth the cost to get it out of the ground and you do that by creating shortages from the supply side (monopolies), or from the consumption side that almost always, government is neck deep in.

180,000 sq ft residential, as in an apartment complex?

Sounds like the construction management missed a few pieces of the puzzle. Oh well, about a $45,000 issue on a $30 Million or so project is not the end of the world. Not sure why you would be using the OP Romex in that facility, but you can find plenty in 250ft rolls.... but may have to lock those down from walking off.
=======
We have 1500 sheets of new 3/4" Marine plywood I found a couple years ago for $1/sheet and in storage for a project. There was cost in moving it, but, for the price today, I am thinking about selling them and postponing the project for when this administration drops their pants for China and go with steel that will drop considerably from a new world glut.

As well, I just sold 112 -250ft rolls of 12-2 w/g UF (direct burial) that had been sitting in the warehouse for a decade or three. The price tag still on some of the boxes came from Farm and Fleet for $17.88/roll.

Oh yea, currency debasement is picking up speed.... any cash is steadily losing purchasing power.

I still have a ton of this leftover after my basement finish because the long rolls were over1/2 the price per foot as the shorter rolls. It made no sense to much buy less for almost the same price.
