   Shovel seller says shovels will be expensive in winter so make sure to buy as many as you can today.

      I mean, yes, but they are also right. They benefit from the market conditions, and contribute to the price increase, but it’s pretty clear there won’t be that much available shovels for a very long time

         Especially when the equipment the shovel seller uses to produce shovels has been retooled to produce backhoes instead because of a digging bubble.

            Shouldn't this be affected by the diggers from the Far Lands recently telling everyone how to angle the backhoe blade to dig 470x as much earth in one swing?

               It would be severely affected if Jevon's paradox weren't terrorizing the globe right now.
