Wouldn’t it be great to know the answer to that before promising to only source American steel for the most visible construction project the government has on deck?

e-handjobs. I’ll be stealing that one. I give thumbs up to people who make good points or provide thoughtful responses. (And especially ones that put you in your place).
And your lack of likes says a lot about what kind of points you make.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that the U.S. will FUCK a veteran like Miguel Perez. Oh, you deployed to Afghanistan twice and got all fucked, came back to the states and didn’t get the support you needed from the VA, and ended up on drugs. Oh fucking well. You’re just a piece of shit brown asshole.
Un-fucking-believable.

Is it a government project, or is the pipeline project an amalgamated project undertaken by a group of corporations?
I mean, it could be that he specified future projects because production at this point is at capacity, with standing orders for a pretty long time.
The last time I went by a pipe works production facility, it was operating at capacity, 24/7 for a long time into the future. The shale plays that are currently being undertaken- drilled and piped in- are taking up a lot of production resources.
I’m not saying that it would be in any way right if he were being duplicitous, I’m just curious as to why that type of language would be included. If there is a real tangible reason, other than just being slippery.
It may have been included if it was known that production is at capacity and booked far into the future.
If they’ll fuck all of the US born veterans that were gassed in the Gulf I by chemical weapons that didn’t exist, then they’ll fuck a mexican born one too.
Not saying its right, just saying that it is.
Ya, that’s exactly what I mean. I shouldn’t be surprised by this at all. Historically, we fuck our warfighters, period.
It really pisses me off if you can’t tell.

Last week at CPAC, Trump declares that we’re using domestic steel on the pipeline or “we’re not building one”.
Now, his spokesperson says American steel only for new projects.
Sure love that straight-talkin’ Trump who’s not going to be like them typical politicians that will tell you anything to get your vote. Amirite?
“The entire Baku deal is a giant red flag—the direct involvement of foreign government officials and their relatives in Azerbaijan with ties to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Corruption warning signs are rarely more obvious,” Jessica Tillipman, an FCPA expert and assistant dean at George Washington University Law School, told the New Yorker.

Although you are likely more informed than anyone else re this -
Several years back US hit a tipping point on the tubular import side and dozens of plants shuttered tube production.
But hey it was a dirty bidness and everybody* can do spreadsheet projections and stuff on which Indian, Chinese, S African, Brazilian firm has the best price today, for a job. Well one guy is enough to do that, I suppose.
- except the laid-off fab guys, but they can retrain for - sitting at home while wifey brings in school aide salary? Fighting it out with the retired guys for the Walmart greeter job?
Almost all of the fracking tube is foreign made. Because the US tube makers all shuttered. Pipe mills are the loadest damn places I’ve ever been to.
While Trump’s rhetoric is effective getting him elected, you can’t just magic dead industries back to life.
Whuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut…

Eh, not really. I’ve eaten a good share of words in my time here.
And so I shall sit down to a big ole plate of my words. I mistook their finished product as a result of domestic production, as did a bunch of other people-
But in my own defense, I’ll say that driving up to their production facility in Duquesne every day was pretty convincing (I was doing a temp gig across the street.)
Yeah. I guess I’m off the mark on this. I thought that was domestic production.
That’s the thing…he is a genius, but he’s also a complete dumbass. I don’t get it.
Two words: Prosecutorial discretion.
Unfortunately Raj is right about this one. If you’re going to traffic in the absolute of “all illegals are bad” then collateral damage like this is inevitable. The result is what happens when a topic of 99% gray is boiled down to black and white.
One word: Anarchy
Write better laws. Or don’t enforce them at all.
