    Central Utah, baby!!
    Getting up early with only 5 hours of sleep so I can drive the rough trails of the mountain in the dark... park where motorized vehicle trail ends... sneak for a half hour almost a mile in... see some bucks right where I want them just before shooting light.....

    ....and then right at shooting light, some jackwagon comes driving in, around the no motorized vehicle sign and parks directly across from me.

    Took all I had to not test my 300 win mag on his motor.

    Do you just make stuff up? We were making more in 2012-2014, now I love that the trend is going up, well done.

    Exports are up, imports are down, list those facts, or just keep making stuff up.

    As much as you talk it, you would know what it smells like.

    Thanks! I've been taking notes and learning from you for a few years. I'm not as naturally gifted as you but I'm working hard and trying my best.

    He wasn't completely wrong, Germ. If you look at the last half of Obama's second term, there was a downward trend. If you want to say Obama wasn't the cause of our steel woes, that would be accurate. He's still a nutsack with legs, however. ;)

    both charts tell the tale that production is up. I never said it's the highest ever. You can cherry pick any one chart or stat you want; but the fact is that production is ramping up. Bigly. That was the gist of my post.

    When cost of production for new steel goes down, supply of new steel goes up demand for recycled steel goes down. Oh, and more jobs are available giving more people more economic opportunity and making people less hard-pressed to be scrappers. Everyone wins. Except lazy scumbags who would steal your scrap steel. They still and are losers. MAGA.

    ...until the robots kill us all.

    76 years old? They won't take her. Public Health care system can't afford someone that is too old to be in their financial earning prime; won't generate enough income tax to justify the expenses the system will pay out.

    wrong.
    I am not saying your chart is incorrect, but you either misinterpreted what I said or replied with a red herring-

    • I never made anything up- US steel production output is higher now than when DJT took office
    • cheaper new steel = less demand for recycled steel = lower prices for scrap

    I made no comment/comparison to steel now vs. 2010-2012. That timeframe is 4 years prior to the current president's term...and which started trending downward right after the beginning of BHOs second term...huh.
