Cost Of Living Raise

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
I saw a show on tv the other day that explained who is getting rich off of high lumber prices. Surprisingly it wasn't Home Depot or Lowes or any of a dozen the other entities who deal with timber. The bottom line is there are only 4 LARGE companies that are raking in billions of dollars in profit from high lumber prices. They are the 4 top lumber companies in America. Werehauser, Georgia Pacific and 2 more I can't think of right now.
When these high prices either jack up interest rates or put us in a recession lumber prices will tank and they’ll cry poor.

My friend owns a fence company and said cedar is hard to get. He thinks the wildfires are partially to blame. I think he said people are buying Japanese cedar.
 
The estimate for COLA in this thread are all off because they think they language in the contract is saying we get 1 cent for every 0.2% increase in the CPI-W above 3%, but we actually get 1 cent for every 0.2 points above 3% higher than the previous May. YOY we saw an inflation rate of 5.6%, and the points were 6.6 above the 3% threshold. This means the COLA will be 33 cents, before the union gets their cut. I go into the contract, math, and links in this thread.
