I hope we get a Congress that cares about consumer protection again. Two years ago 1x10 board meant the actual size was .75 x 9.75 inches. It's been like that since forever, supposedly to account for milling loss, even though that's BS. Now it can mean either .75 or .719 x 9.25 inches.

That's not even close to the advertised size. It fucks up projects due to the new sizes too. Plywood has been consistently shrinking as well. Retailers can sell whatever size they want, but they need to stop grossly mislabeling the size. A 1x4 board is 1x3.5, so they are not even the same width.
