But it's so much easier to blame someone else, Ries ....We dont actually import that much steel, we depend on US mills for around 75% of our use, and US mills can charge what they want.
China has been on a building spree for the past twenty years. Thanks to the flying people that in a lot of places it's over, I'm getting too slow to outrun the trucks running red lights at night.China is on a building spree...
No real change in activity here. They started putting rebar in the school buildings several years ago so that's not it.
Too expensive. Duct tape costs money, ya know.Duct taping it to the sides of the schools?
I think if you can't fire people or lay them off without pay, it changes the whole equation. If you have to pay people anyhow, may as well get something out of the deal ...That works out to about $6.50 a stick, how the hell can they make it for that much less ship it internationally and deliver?
I think the intended lesson is, knock it off with the political posturing. In the future, kowtowing to bigmouth assholes will have repercussions ... Canada learned the same lesson.They are also not letting our coal ships unload to their port or let them leave so they can unload elsewhere, they are held hostage at the moment.

Yup, they do it just like the big kids do in the US - legally. They make up the rules then they play by them.

Nothing like using your muscle, one way or another.
BTW that weld does not look so great.....
Plenty of slag to protect the metal!
