Hey retard US Steel employed 29,800 people in 2018.
That’s less than 1% of the work force. Companies that size make adjustments all the time in employment numbers.

Did you think tariffs would work overnight? They need to find new suppliers and adapt to the market. A short term inconvenience so China doesn't take over the fucking world is worth it. How about you fucks start buying American?

US Steel was great back in the 90's when they put people to work pulling 14 hour days for years. I'm sure they can afford to adapt.

The demand for US manufactured steel will go up greatly once we enact a total trade embargo with China and any and all other non-free non-capitalist countries.

i will, because Trump is better than socialism.

But the tariffs crushed construction - i know because i do it. 40% increases on cost slowed it all again.

but i will vote for trump ~ he beats socialism, and every dem running will advance that agenda.

Socialism will kill us all faster than tariffs.

NAFTA was a death blow to the USA.

China and Japan sold products here for LESS than it cost to produce and ship them here, just to get their foot in the door.

Now, we are fucked since NAFTA ran rampant for so many years.

Look at speakers... So many were made in the USA until the mid 90's early 00's. After that, you can only get super expensive brands that are made here.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77938128


Why can't you answer the fucking question.

Have the tariffs helped correct this? No.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73174730


My God, the level of sheer ignorance and stupidity that gets user pinned on GLP these days is unbelievable.


You're talking about less than 1% of ONE steel manufacturer's employees, while DOZENS of other steel manufacturers are RAMPING UP production, BUILDING NEW steel mills, and HIRING 1000's of new employees.

Here's one article (you can do your own internet searches for 100's more) discussing what two steel manufacturers are doing.

this is another one of those threads thats like dildos waving in the calm wind. Anti Trump thread number 103w94j345-23945. Trump is the fucking God Emperor and it will take longer than 3 years to repair the damage of 40 years of hardcore liberalism and globalist policies. Aids and opioid deaths are not killing liberals off fast enough, but its kind of like a drain it circles quicker at the end.

Re: Breaking - U.S. Steel plans to lay off hundreds of workers in Michigan.
one of my uncles is one of the last workers still employeed by Bethlehem Steel.

Most of Bethlehem is now a casino, fleecing those very workers. Irony.

Bethlehem steel makes Brass now as their biggest product - they arent even geared up for steel, because it all left - and the tariffs arent enough incentive for the board to reinvest in lines that produce steel

so what ended up happening? Steel made in america got super expensive - but production, did not increase, because its a wet fart -

Next socialist to take office undoes it all.
