Donald Trump states in Pittsburgh he will bring back Pittsburgh's coal industry, clean coal. And also he will bring back Pittsburgh's steel industry.
Also (cause complete thoughts aren’t in my wheelhouse) they are right now hooking up some high powered lines to the mill. I had heard a few years ago that they were going to begin selling power to, I think, Wisconsin Electric……… but its all been really hush hush, so I have little direct knowledge.
Also, it may end up the courst deciding the issue since Verso assumed NewPage. They might require Verson to eliminate those holdings since they were not able to perform. It gets complicated.
To make a long story short. Verso bit off more than it can chew and now they will have to prove they can survive-which I have doubts they will be able to do. The publishing paper industry is just about DONE. Why? Because they can get whatever paper they need from Chile and Brazil.
Another issue about “FREE” trade by Trump.
When you have company foresters comming out on jobs and telling producers, “whatever you do, dont buy any stumpage or new machinery,” you know something is about to really go bad.
I am from there and know a lot of the loggers. I used to log up there and sold to these mills.
One logger from Gladstone-i wont give you his name, says that the Escanaba mill owes him around 80 grand. One from Ishpeming is owed a HUGE sum.
Here is the problem. I had a cousin who ran two small specialty mills out east. He said that the new younger generation of managers couldnt manage a can of pickup stix.
And Len was right. They are only there to skim money off the place and run it into the ground. No business mind at all.
The mill at Quinessec had virtually no paper orders at Christmas time-BAD!
Ask the nest trucker you see how much hardwood they have in the yards in those mills. They might be down now a little, but I havent seen that much wood in those yards EVER.
Feel sorry for you if you are dealing with those people at Hannahville?
**** “How? By raising the tariffs on imported steel?” ****
Me? (Don’t have a Clue what Trumps Plan is)
I would simply GET GOVT OUT OF THE WAY
We have a Road Map ... it is called the Constitution
Tell the Global Warming Nuts to Pack Sand
Tell the UN to MOVE and Tell Congress to Cancel any Pending Checks to them.
Tell Unions to Pack Sand
Say BYE BYE to EPA
Say BYE BYE to anything that Obama has Implemented via Executive Action
Remove 100% of all of Obama’s appointed Govt cronies
Merit Appoint replacements from the Industries Experts
Tell the Uni-Party to find New Employment within 30 days or be exposed as the Hacks that they are
That is a short list ... It isn’t that hard
Imported Steel Tariffs? “Forgive 50% Tarrifs on all Steel used to Build the Freaking Wall”
YUp, they had that in the works for some time. That is the reason that mill is attractive. It could be sold for a very large amount to cancel some debt. Its all hush hush now though like you said.
BTW, I was told that they couldnt sell electricity from that mill because of some law. They had to have WE energy manage the power plant. I suppose they got that all straightened out now.
What a mess hey? They dumb assed investors cant think beyond their noses and dont care to. They need to invest in that quinessec mill..tear out the machine and change over to tissue paper. Cant recycle asswhipe. And when the Escanaba mill gets bad-the same thing there, Take a coupel of the older machines out and change over to tissue paper. If they dont, they wont survive.
At this time Trump is not a businessman. He's a politician, who will say anything to anyone if he thinks that's what they want to hear.
How?
And I suppose that the steep drop in natural gas prices and the collapse of coal exports had nothing to do with the industry's problems.
Whatever the mind can see and believe, it can achieve.
Napoleon Hill
Ronald Reagan spoke the fall of the Berlin Wall. Never underestimate the words of a leader in affecting the course of history. The wall will be built if Trump is elected. Illegal immigration will be halted if Trump is elected. Neither will happen if he isn’t elected. Neither party has the will or desire to make it happen. It takes a leader with vision. Like Reagan. Like Trump.
The logger you are referring to needs to ask (require) to be put on a NET 30 account. Its what I did and they happily did it. (tho I’m one person doing a specific job where as he’s one of many, so they may not do it as easily)
.
No, that was his cop-out story that was filled in later by his office.
Reading his exact comments shows that to be nonsense.
He actually asked “How is Joe doing...”
.
You'll pay it either way if you buy anything that uses steel in any way.
As a young man, I worked on the (?) Q41 project and helped build that expansion. It was (the expansion) run like ass and was a disaster, even to my young brain.
*smiles* its not as bad as you may believe. Frankly Ive faced down plenty of the “higher ups” with facts and figures and told em if they don’t like it to cram it. They back down like one would expect em to.
.
Trump is going to resurrect Joe as a part of his “making America great again” plan.
And THIS is why you don’t allow accountants to run companies!
Frankly, they get caught up on the pennies and have zero vision. Vision is supplied by the dreamers and CHECKED by the accountants. For some reason, the dreamers have allowed accountants to run the show.
.
One does not ask how a statue is doing.
Face reality please.
.
Those with any cognitive ability at all are solidly supporting Cruz.
Those that wonder “how is Joe doing” are obviously supporting Trump.
.
Local issue it got moved they wanted it back But then your hatred of fixing America caused you to miss that. And yes Cruz cannot do anything, hes owned like all the other DC insiders by special interests who will not do anything to stop their gravy train. Its not rocket science to see that fact.
