It’s a Catch 22. California has no money because so many people are out of work and they put more people out of work by buying things from China.

Good question for the U.S. steel workers. I wonder what the comparison of the “bennies” between the two “unions”
would be.

'If profits be treason, make the most of it.'

International corporations do not salute the flag, they don't vote, they just use ample supplies of 'free speech' to control those in Washington who do vote.

Just imagine if prior to WW II we were dependent on Japan, Germany and China for our production.

Because we shut down the nearby mills in Fontana, Utah, etc. 10 years ago and sold the equipment to China.

Even worse, I have seen one report, since buried, that blamed mislabled/fraudulent Chinese steel (claiming higher quality than actually delivering) as a partial cause of the collapse.

“The OSM Rolling Mill is the only plate mill in the Western United States and adjacent Western Canadian Provinces.”

ONE steel mill for the entire west of the US. That’s why the Chinese have the contract.
