Whenever a steel mill operates in an area, there an increase in metal recycling, with old cars and scrap metal. This is a way for those without jobs to make money, I have seen unemployed have successful start up business just on scrap. Help clean up the neighborhood. Also have an effect on use car sales.
The reasons being that with the tariffs, imported steel is cost prohibitive, there is not enough domestic production to meet demand, and there is not enough time to build a new electric mill and bring it online to capitalize on the current situation.
The tariffs, being a double-edged sword, are destroying farmers, and will cost an estimated 365,000 jobs in order to create 500 jobs in a semi-obsolete steel mill.
Why the sudden opposition to taxes from the left? They NEVER complained when some of the highest business taxes in the world were in place on US companies-in fact they threw tantrums when they were lowered to be competitive with the rest of the world. Yet when taxes are placed on imports from other nations...they also throw a tantrum.
It's almost like the left only wants to punish Americans and treat everyone else in the world better than their fellow citizens.
After several hours of searching, finally found it.
The bottle had long since dried up.
Sad.
