    The workers stood behind a fence while the executives and their wives got a concession stand...sounds like just one reason steel plants were closing.

    I've seen a lot of things in my time. But to this day, those blast furnaces coming down makes me the saddest

    The Chinese Government thanks all the Steel executives and US government officials that help make this possible.

      And those pesky, little domestic, non-union, EAF "mini-mills" that have cropped up all over the country.

    Glad Rick was there and he's trying hard to keep the memories alive.

    Rust Belt cities chose economic monocultures and lost the bet. Compare to successful cities with high growth to see what should have been done so more don't repeat the same mistakes. There are plenty of US cities with strong job markets and booming local economies but they diversified their businesses long ago. Americans have plenty of American success to copy, but industrial monocultures of any kind are dangerous. Even the oil industry is feast or famine.

      Mingo jct fired up for the first time in 8 years as soon as trump got elected! And steel started moving around because the companies knew trump would back them if they started producing again! Unlike these phony democrats that wanna flood the market with foreign steel and shut down everything in the name of climate change! Yeah keep voting for that ! Good luck! At least trump recognizes what made our country flourish in the past and wants that again in a similar capacity! And by the way you spelled liar wrong !
