You mention the CA regulation environment for building a new steel mill. Yeah, people don’t want their homes affected by having a steel mill in their backyard. It’s no surprise the current administration is eager to abandon EPA regulations that have been enacted to protect residents from the ...

Funny how everything has to be picking a team and all the baggage with it on any particular topic. Easier to shot a fish once you put it in a barrel you're familiar with.

@Spaceman Spiff you and my Dad must of been carpool buddies and still text each other.

He stands no matter what that Prime ...

I didn’t realize steel jobs returned to the US. I was referring to the return of the shuttered plants/factories. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm going to assume the steel jobs that returned were to existing plants/mills. Essentially these sites were getting back the capacity they lost which ...

This, among 1,000 other things, is what baffles me about these idiots. History says, no, those jobs are never coming back.
I had a maga moron (my since retired dentist) try to tell me: The jobs and factories are coming back! No, dumbass, they are not coming back. You gave away those jobs in the ...

The other thing is why isn't anybody making a bigger deal about them not getting the mineral rights agreement signed?

We ...

You know this stuff comes our quarterly, right?

Uh no. There might be sources/sites that catalog it quarterly but they release unemployment data monthly. CPI (inflation data) is also released monthly.

GDP is generally done quarterly.

But a lot of economic data has historically been done ...

HQ is full of Peter Strzoks and Lisa Pages, closet leftists with bad cases of TDS. Fire them, move them to Alabama or the Anchorage Field Office, or the high crime cites where they might remember they are supposed to be law enforcement officers. As it is, they sit around in DC and have their ...

When Trump took power in 2016, the US war in Afghanistan had been going from more than 12 years, was costing us the amount of money that the right claims the war in Ukraine is, and was costing American lives, there was no hurry to end that war or to answer questions like who is going to kick the ...
