It was sad to hear the larger construction companies using their buying power to purchase all available stock and store in their warehouses with no assigned jobs. They were pushing smaller construction companies to the wall when they couldn't access any stock for jobs they actually had on.
- mathgladiator 5y agoIt's like the real-life monopoly game being played in real life. Buy up all the houses, don't upgrade them to hotels until you can buy them back.
- sokoloff 5y agoIf you are a construction company and anticipate a possible/likely disruption in one of your critical raw materials and have the funds to protect your business, what else would you do? It doesn’t sound predatory; rather it sounds eminently sensible.
