Not really part of the conversation, but a poignant point of it, in a minuscule manner. There are a number of "cast iron cookware" companies out there. An AmeriYank one named Lodge is one of them.
They've been making and 're-introducing' different pans for years. VERY GOOD cookware is cast-iron covered in enamel. Thing is though, Lodge doesn't do enameled cast iron in the USA anymore. As far as I understand, nobody does cast-iron enameling in the USA anymore. But Lodge does ship theirs to China, to have it enameled, and then ships it back here to be sold for cubic dollars.
Now why would they not enamel it here in North America anymore,,,, hhhmmmmmmmmmm?
Back to those 3 letter agencies that were suggested previous. EPA being one of the most evil. Who's buying and paying for whom?

For all the evil that China is, please remember that these tariffs hurt US businesses as well.
I have a friend who manufactures gun safes from scratch here in the US.
His steel prices have doubled. Thus his prices have to go up. This results in less safes sold.
If we need to punch China in the face, fine, but let’s remember that tariffs aren’t the ideal situation long term. It is essentially a tax on Americans who buy these goods since the manufacturers and importers simply pass on the tariff hike to the consumer.

Keep it going long enough and US steel will start coming back online.
It's amazing how much production we have sitting stagnant because they can't afford to turn on the furnace unless they get a real order.
Tariffs will give us a speed bump. If they're kept up other countries will either be open to negotiating lower rates for both sides, or we'll finally get back to making shit again.

I gotta tell ya I guarentee you'll love this then. Dip in egg wash, sprinkle with parmesan cheese, then frying pan. Then add whatever you'd like. Amazing!?
At twice the price because tariffs have artificially increased the price of steel and because Democrat run unions hold steel manufacturers over a barrel on production costs.
So if this happens your car will now cost half again as much.
Want your Chevy 1500 to now cost 75,000 bucks?
Go be pro tariff.

I’m a free trader too who thinks government meddling in the market is almost always bad. However, China hasn’t had their finger on the scale, they’ve sat their gigantic fat ass right on their side of the balance, which is how they’ve gotten 10% growth year after year while our Mfg got hollowed out. Normally I’d be with you, but when dealing with cheating, lying, stealing communists you have to use force. It’s all they understand...power and force.
that's funny, felling it from the country that fed millions of there own people rice lased with risin just because they could ..
a country that just to keep the population down slaughters its own by millions , pinching the pocket ouch . ocd should go and visit china she would love it i'm sure and fit right in till she spoke . but that does sound like a great trade deal they keep the 500 billion but they must take aoc and a few of the other nut ball dems . Its a win win

Forget waterboarding. Just make captured ISIS and Taliban listen to her stupid ass for a few minutes.
China is hoping that the Dems take out Trump so they can bend the next Pres over and ream him good. But my money is on Trump. Both China and the Dems will have oversized assholes when he is done. JMHO.
Your point is moot. Steel prices do react to market changes, but suppliers in the US artificially raise prices when rumor of tariffs begin. Then raise it again when the prices do actually go up. It's happened for years. And Chevy 1500 trucks are expensive. I just priced one out at nearly 70K.
Damn, in my area you can buy a couple acres with a small home on it for just a bit more.
WTF has a C1500 got in it thats worth a house?
Fair Trade only works when it's 'fair' for both parties. China has held the tariff advantage for years. Can you even sell an American made car in China? To the best of my knowledge, no, you can't. It MUST be made in China to be sold in China. How is the fair trade?
1. Make it cheap to manufacture in your country.
2. Steal ALL technologies from those countries and share if for free.
3. Low overhead from low paid workers and no R&D because you steal all your ideas creates immense profit margins.
4. Undercut all your competition and put them out of business.
5. Raise your prices and increase your profit margins to insane amounts.

Cauliflower Au Gratin...Lots of cream, butter, cheese and fresh ground nutmeg. Bake it and it is GOOD
30% of the cost of a new car is legacy costs.
Payment to union retirees.
That’s why they depreciate so fast.
It’s not material costs as much as you think.
The unions pretty much destroyed car/steel manufacturing.

How about we keep the government from bailing them out, let them go bankrupt, and break the union stranglehold.
But that wouldn't buy votes.
It would be better in the long run.
Unions are dinosaurs. Now that OSHA is there, the only thing they offer is unfunded pensions that are an open Ponzi scheme, and lower wages. They're really good at driving companies into the ground also.
I got an offer from my local, and I'll be staying free from them.
I also enjoy making money on performance, not time served.
