Price of steel up 168% since August 2020. Low inventory due to mills deemed non essential during lockdown. Unavailability of chips for machines in the mills that process steel due in part to sanctions, and pandemic.

Give lots of thanks to the American capitalists who decided that making a higher profit offshoring critical manufacturing like chips and semiconductors was a good deal...for them.
They handed a loaded gun to Communist China to shoot us with.
Couple this with Loral Space under Bill Clinton, who boosted China's ICBMs from amateur hour to tier one.
All for extra profit.
Now we will reap what those traitors have sewn.
