Family genetics.
Do you really want a list of all my ancestors and relations who sweated in Henry Clay Frick's coal mines and coke furnaces and Andrew Carnegie's mills? Or is it sufficient for you to know that my dad was a manufacturing engineer for one of the major mills and I grew up not only visiting him at work and listening to all his challenges and achievements, I decided to follow in his footsteps in my own professional education and career.
I am pretty darn sure I know a heck of a lot more than you about what's going on in the steel industry.
Unless you enjoy discussing the technical merits of various steel alloys more than Pittsburgher's like to talk about the Steelers or Permanti sammiches, I sincerely doubt it, sweetie.
Name-calling - for some silly reason I expected better from you, WG.
Yeah, name calling. You bash your neighbors and then whine when I've deliberately refrained from chastising you in more traditional 'Burgh fashion.
As we discussed earlier, there are no economic panaceas on the horizon for your region's prosperity. I strongly suggest you make some attempt at preserving what you have instead of rooting for further decline.
