Sumptin' ain't right in the world and it is not political.
Tires, huge price increases are an almost monthly thing now. Shortages are going to hit the truckers hard this summer. We have had hundreds of 425/65/22.5 "float" tires used on cement trucks, dump trucks and the like back ordered for several months.
Lumber, $40 bucks a sheet for 7/16" OSB? Treated lumber is out of their minds expensive, if you can get it. $98.00 a sheet for 3/8" A/C plywood. Who can afford to build?
Gas and Diesel, price increases for months now, seeing it go up almost weekly.
Coffee Creamer Coffee mate Chocolate Creme, not available on Amazon, WOW.
Auto and truck parts, shortages of filters, consumable parts and repair parts with low inventory of what is available. Folks are waiting weeks to get their trucks back on the road making money.
Shipping costs, we were just informed that every 40' container we get will have an additional $1,500.00 surcharge added to the shipment. When you have 75 or more containers coming in over the next few months that is real money.
Prices are increasing so fast in construction the builders have riders added on material costs that kick in seven days after quotation.
Metal roofing has more than doubled in a year.
Medicine, getting subs for prescriptions not to save $$ but because the prescribed is not available.
Is this all pandemic related or is the value of the dollar falling that fast? Anybody else seeing other items skyrocket in price?

Not seeing price increases so much as shortages in PCs, Servers and related gear. Have had thousands of laptops on order since December, received about half of what we need.
Caused by the global computer chip shortage. Affecting many industries including auto big time. Honda, Ford, Fiat Chrysler, even Porsche has said they will be impacted.
