The fucking wisdom of some americans..
Remember when a sheet of 1/4" steel was $88.79?
I need a wood stove to stave off the high price of staying warm during the winter so I stopped off at the local metal supplier, I was quoted $408.27, Per sheet. (long silence while the shock set in)
WTF! I proclaimed, the cashier stated the price has almost doubled in just the last year due to tariffs.
At which point I said "fuckin administration" shook my head turned around to head out the door.
"It's not the Administration fault", He defended in a desperate tone, "the tariffs were suppose force China to lower their price but instead Manufacturers increased their price here."
I repeated,"'fuckin Administration" and walked out.
Billionaires who built their fortune on Soviet-era steel giants have spent nearly $9 billion in the last few years acquiring U.S. mills to expand their global presence. At today’s knockdown prices, investors believe it’s a gamble worth taking.
