I'm sure Pex will follow suit....It's made of that evil, earth-destroying plastic, too....

Someone just told me the PVC pipes shortages stuff that they heard in Home Depot from a worker. They have more wood then they can stock because no one is buying it.
You have to have oil to make plastic.

Copper is going through the roof and that market is getting tighter and tighter.

Yeah, i work for a plastics distributer and this has been going on for a while now. Like somebody else in the thread said its a shortage of resins on all industrial plastics.
Though, one of my vendors that supplies my plastic sheets seems to think that manufacturers are hoarding the resins to drive prices up to make up for the lackluster 2020. I dont know about all of that but an interesting take i suppose.

I was walking through a picked over Lowes the other day and had the same thought, but only about the USSR. Decay, empty shelves, disorder.

Somehow it’s never socialism or communism’s fault. Even though it always occurs on their watch it’s always evil capitalism’s fault.
Funny how that works.

It's not really capitalism, the systems, fault either.

i repriced a project from last year that was halted due to covid and steel/PVC/Copper for that projecgt had increased 20% from pre-covid shutdown
You are seeing part/components shortages across all industries as well causing lead time issues
even sheet metal materials have gone up nearly x2.

It’s a very strange perverse hybrid system. The big corporations pay off the politicians to regulate competition out of business and in turn get juicy government contracts. The politicians influence corporate culture and get their competitors out of business with censorship “under the guise of it’s not the government doing this” and have their cousins and nephews promoted and on the boards etc
It all is under technicalities that the government doesn’t own them (though they may be a massive if not the biggest customer and without such would be out of business) and it’s a technicality that a corporation didn’t write the law that put its small time competitor out of business.
Each one can say their hands are clean but they are 100% symbiotic

If you think that the US is anything near communist, or even socialist, then you are pretty much a lost cause.
If you think that anything that has happened since January is the cause of all this, then you are a lost cause.
Nobody said capitalism is evil, but if you think capitalism is immune to chain reactions of shortages, then you are definitely a lost cause.
Exactly which parts of the global economy do you think socialism and/or communism are holding things up, and how do you think any of that has changed for the worse in the last 6 months? Even the chinese have a mostly capitalist economy, and they sure as frick want to make money.
Corporations the world over have taken "lean" too far, and have coasted on minimal inventories of supplies which have long lead times. Works fine until there's a hiccup in the chain, and especially with a big hiccup like covid it turns into an avalanche.

Economics, the only profession that makes astrology look like a viable predictor of the future. I would trust the opinion of the guy that’s operated my neighborhood hardware store 40 years on the future supply and demand of water heaters before that of a economist.

Almost everything in construction is in short supply. I'm not sure why people are still surprised by this.

I just changed out my water heater and it was normally priced.

That's almost certainly why you have horrible takes including, but not limited to, EV's being 50 years away from being scalable
