There are many ways to combat companies going overseas. Biden’s infrastructure plan could incentivize US Steel to rethink their decision.

high speed transportation rail lines?.......or were you referring to child care.......not likely to offset the ban on fracking, which they had intended to cut their energy costs.......

trump aided in American steel's demise when he used Chinese steel for every building he put up. He further destroyed the industry with his tariffs.

They aren't idiots if they admit to the reasons for their problems.

Wrong. Trump built with what was available at the time. A36 and A500 steels (the two most common in building construction) aren't profitable in the US to manufacture for the most part and haven't been since the late 70's mostly due to the EPA. That's hardly Trump's fault.

So you know what steels the contractors used in the construction of buildings that bear Trump's name? Were you one of the architects? Did you order the construction materials? Tell us, oh knowledgeable one, just what was the tinsel strength of the steels used? Why would making American steels more competitive further destroy our steel industry?

You don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about. None. Zilch. Try making a point about something you have at least a little knowledge of before you make a fool of yourself trying to inform those of us who do.

US Steel has announced it's dropping its plan to expand a Pennsylvania steel mill to supply the auto industry. They're citing a combination of foot dragging by local building officials and the Biden administration push on Gorebal Warming.

They're also dropping a plan to frack natural gas to supply this plant adjacent to it due to the Biden administration.

So much for American jobs from the Biden administration. Good paying jobs gone in a state hurting for good paying jobs. Maybe Pennsylvanians will remember this come 2022...

The Biden Admin is a 3rd Term of Obama...... his horrid economic policies are now continuing.

They want to bring America to it's knees so their Global Masters can step in and bring us into the One World Order...... America will be leading the way with Biden's partner, Communist China.

Well, what strength steels were used? You are obviously incompetent in steels, stupid foreigner. Go back to fucking goats.

The rebar used to reinforce the concrete is minimal and of very poor quality.
Click to expand...

Rebar in the US is manufactured to ASTM A615 among other specifications. It is stamped to show the grade, etc., of it (Size is in 1/8th's of an inch so #4 rebar is 1/2" diameter for example)

The biggest problem is imported rebar. Chinese made in particular cannot be trusted to meet the spec it claims to be made to. It's a big enough problem that the Chinese government is finally beginning to crackdown on manufacturers there to improve quality because of building and structural failures in China.
