Lumber Qarens

[Don2 (Don1 Revised)]

Wtf. Lumber Qarens?

Yes. Lumber Qarens.

A growing community of lumber-shortage truthers on social media platforms deny there is any scarcity at all, blaming the increased prices instead on a nefarious cabal intent on lumber price-gouging— or even preventing would-be homeowners from achieving the American dream of homeownership.

As proof, the lumber conspiracy theorists cite videos of some lumber.

Tons of videos, some on qanon sites. Secret cabal of lumber owners trying to destroy the American dream. Millions of video views.

I should've bought the cabinets in November....

Don't worry, we're still selling them.

(Although I don't see the financial side of things, I have no idea if there have been price increases.)

We’ve got to get our roof done this year. It’s looking expensive.
