You are telling me that the USA has the same number of steel factories as in 1970?
I'm not telling you that, and I challenge you to point out where I said that.
You said "The factories in the USA closed down completely!" in your post #16, and I pointed out that that was an incorrect statement, and cited evidence to back up my assertion.
In response to which, you implied that I was on drugs, and accused me of being a "bonehead" and "stupid."
I did grow up in Dinwiddie County, but that doesn't mean I'm "stupid."
And no one I knew in Dinwiddie County was "stupid," either.
Although I certainly didn't know everyone there.
