I like the Idea of Real American Steel on the shelves of American stores again.

Sick of screws, bolts and tools from China. Absolute garbage that twists apart like plastic in your hands.

The plague of junk Chinese Steel will plague us for decades just so Wall Street could show good profits from us stupid Americans.

Go Australia ....haha

Notice the costs differential.

Energy is what drives modern society.

A society can be judged by its energy prices.

If energy is low cost, everything else follows.

The U.S. energy cost is 1/3 of Australian energy costs.

This is by design of the Australian government. They have opted for a high cost energy policy.

Australia used to have some of the lowest energy costs in the world.

I do too. I have a set of tools my dad gave me when I loved out on my own. I have had them for fifty years and my dad had them for many years before he gave them to me. They are like brand new.

Bluescope could also buy up some of it's discounted shares to avoid any naked shorts by Soros..

See: Volkswagon 2008 attempted short...that guy instead stepped in front of a bus.

Was a happy ending UNTIL Volkswagon got caught cheating emissions testing latter.

Old American made tools are so superior to the new stuff, the sentimental history doubles the value !

Scored about 4-500 lbs of old nuts, bolts, screws etc from a friend 2 weeks ago. His dad was a millwright in the 50’s thru 70’s. Was his collection.

Also nice set of steel cabinets with long drawers.

Great stuff to have round the farm

Here in IL gas is about $2.80/gal even after the a$$hole democrats jacked the tax up 20 cents/gal to pay for stuff we can’t afford.

But if you’ve got a job, you can probably afford to pay a couple bucks more when you buy gas, and Illinois steel plants were the first to re-open after Trump put the tariff in place. Granite City alone added 800 jobs.

That’s crazy cheap !

Traveled back there a couple times a few years ago, inland and coastal areas. What beautiful country.

Remember there were so few billboards while driving there.

My wife’s favorite state we’ve gone to .... going back again and staying even longer.

Roadside billboards are illegal in Maine. Can only advertise your own business on your own property.

Ohio is becoming the “Steel State” again.
This news, from near Toledo, and the Minho Mill on the Ohio River reopening the second furnace are BIG NEWS, that is being completely ignored, because it hurts Democrat narratives.

“This is by design of the Australian government. They have opted for a high cost energy policy. Australia used to have some of the lowest energy costs in the world. “

Well, the earth has a fever, doncha know. The only known cure is paying off liberal politicians to send those jobs to China.
