I just took a tour of the ruins of the Bethlehem Steel Works.
It is well worth your time.
Bethlehem Steel was on the rocks but still a viable company in the early 1970s.
It also had a history of being the producer of the steel in nearly every modern skyscraper (at the time) in NYC.
Then the World Trade Center development announced they were going to use foreign steel to build.
Bethlehem Steel closed just a few years later.
All those foreign lobbyists seem to be having the desired effect in the UK just as here in the US.
“Royal Navy warships being built on the Clyde could be made from foreign steel. With the British steel industry already reeling from closures and massive job cuts,”
Well, what are they going to do about it? Lower taxes? Reduce government regulations? Nothing is going to happen, except British steel will continue to decline, until she produces no more.
They know that this is going to be sub standard steel, right?
An RPG would hit it from a speed boat and it just might shatter a hole in it.
