Can't wait for Harry to comment on this. Probably complain that 'Trump
steel' is weak stuff.

Or some kind of union snag hidden in there somewhere...


Corporations gave away our steel industry.

Are all corporations evil or just the ones you don't like?

US steel workers have always been highly unionized and well paid by
industry standards. That might have been just another bad management
decision.



The U.S. steel industry decided to let its industry head overseas by not
investing in new batch plants that made much better use of scrap and the
result of not investing properly also killed the ore and coal
industries. It wasn't as the developing technologies in making steel
snuck up on the U.S. industry.

The U.S. steel industry didn't decide to let its industry head
overseas anymore than the US auto industry decided to let Japan become
a major auto building power. In both cases it was a result of
inaction due to complacent, and somewhat arrogant management, resting
on the status quo.
