Crappy Plywood

This might seem like Déjà vu for some, because I'm pretty sure I've posted about this before, but it bears repeating. What's the deal with this crappy plywood!? There was a day when the squarest, straightest, flattest thing in the room was a sheet of plywood. I'm working with 54 sheets of 1/2" 4-ply BC and at least half of them aren't square. I realize I'm not talking about $75 Baltic birch cabinet grade stuff, here, but can we at least get it down to 1/8" or closer? I'm sure when the machines are cranking this stuff out, they can adjust the cutters periodically. How difficult is is it? I guess I wouldn't be so pissed off if it weren't for the fact that I've gotten "expensive" plywood that was crooked, too. Oh, and I forgot to mention that the last sheet I ripped had a big bubble pop up in the middle because it wasn't glued. Yeah, it looks like two 8ft. pieces of pita bread.

Might be insurance company mandate after the coastal destruction of most buildings.

It was later determined that keeping the wind out of the building saves the building.
