I think in this case it's yet another example of brazen market manipulation.

That’s internal US politics that I have no interest in starting my day with.
The exposition that you've latched onto is typical of news articles everywhere. As with countless others, the article conveys more than that. You don't have to value the exposition. The headline conveniently gives you all you need in order to decide whether to skip it.
The news here is that a significant portion of the world's trees, upon which we all depend, are being put on the chopping block. I consider that world news, just as I do when Brazil does it.

We're discussing things purchased at retail, as stated in the first sentence of the article and indicated in my comment by the word *scalping*. Not wholesale markets.

How about we make scalping of *anything* illegal *everywhere*, with a mandatory punishment of community service hours, valued at minimum wage, until the scalper pays back double their cumulative scalping profits?

Everyone should have a short wave of some sort and a good portable antenna.
Do you mean a two-way radio, or just a receiver? Why?
Mine has saved my sanity a couple of times out in Nowhere, West Texas.
How?
