Exactly. The massive increase in prices was in part due to the stockpiling of goods by the rich. ANYONE trying to buy building materials could see it coming. Even now, retailers have stockpiles of building materials that can’t be sold for lower prices to the middle class that were purchased by the glutenous rich under TRUMP’s massive tax cuts. The rich took their gov inherited wealth and spent it in over priced transactions on goods left rotting in warehouses and in retail yards throughout the country.
The rich went into a buying frenzy that helped destroy the middle class dollar.m
The rich still bought their new Tesla’s a while the middle class
had to buy used cars at outrageous prices.
