Mark my words: steel pipes will NEVER sound as good as African Blackwood pipes!

The pipes, known as "oil country tubular goods" in trade jargon, are used to deliver oil and gas in the petroleum industry.I thought so.
This isn't a blow struck for the steel industry, it is one struck against the oil industry. As production, drilling, and exploration costs go up, oil prices will, too.
The Obamites really want that $5.00/gallon gasoline, and this is a twofer for them, cause they get to stroke the unions, too.

Sorry:
If you are a steel pipe producer--->good
If you are a steel pipe consumer--->bad

I’m in the business. When steel prices doubled and tripled earlier this decade pipe and tubing prices did likewise. When steel lost most of those gains pipe and tubing did not. It is as high as ever.

is not the Chinese steel industry in serious trouble? Is there not megaovercapacity driving prices way down? Ae not private companies being killed by companies with some government ownership?
Yes
Then the tariff is justified

Larry Kudlow (CNBC), the uber-capitalist, practically wet his pants on this one, implying that this was an action taken in restraint of free trade. He brushed aside the fact that such decisions taken by the United States are very rare. The Chinese will scream bloody murder, but they will continue to dump their products wherever and whenever they can.

As long as companies like Charlotte Pipe and Tyler Pipe are made in the U.S. and American owned, any tariffs to protect them the higher quality pipe they produce is justified. Chinese companies like Star have been flooding the market with substandard pipe for several years.

If you like Charlotte and Tyler so much, why don't you send them a check? Why demand the people who actually use Charlotte and Tyler pay more while you sit and watch?

Why demand the people who actually use Charlotte and Tyler pay more while you sit and watch? My job as a plumbing engineer is to provide the design and specifications for commercial, state and federal building projects. My clients pay for their buildings to be constructed of materials that are in compliance with ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials)standards. My specifications state very clearly that this is the case and the contractors bid the jobs per my specifications. Once the job is bid and the contract is awarded, it is also my job is to make sure the contractors provide these materials instead of bringing cheap SUB-STANDARD Chinese products onto the job site. I do much more than sit and watch.
