Snoslinger Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I guess this is all trump's doing too, a month after getting in? The plant's hot-strip mill was idled in January 2016 "in response to challenging market conditions" but restarted in February 2017 after it was adjusted to meet customer needs, the company said.

Dont kid yourself.....these tariffs could be a game changer and the sentiment swinging in our favor is a big deal. This US Steel announcement isnt all that big of a deal .....in reality these two blast furnaces they are restarting are dirty ,old, inefficient dinosaurs that should be shuttered permanently. I would much rather have seen US Steel come out and say they were going to invest 500 million in a new EAF mini-mill that would be able to compete into the 21st century 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think so......I could never pull the lever for someone who assaulted my 4th amendment rights the way he did.....especially while he was crying about his own rights being violated the way he did. That is an unforgivable offense in my book. But that doesnt mean that I wont offer praise if he gets this right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VS no wages at all? Yeah, I am sure those guys would rather be unemployed having the taxpayers paying for them NOT to work. Out of the studying that you have done about the human psyche, which do you suppose is better for those people? Being on unemployment, or working a full time job?
