This is the classic inflation run-up just before the deflationary bust. Why do you think the government is fixing every road and moving forward every infrastructure project as if their lives depended on it?

Logic being that even if wait times come down next year, we'll still have it quicker if ordered now, and it looks like prices are only likely to go one way in the meantime..

Conveniently, there's a separate explanatory narrative for each (micro chips, Russia etc) but let's get real. Something's going on, isn't it? Glad I locked in my 5 year sub 1% fix just a couple of weeks ago and don't have any cash savings.
