    I buy steel products and the domestic prices are already increasing. Defeats the point of buying here vs importing. 🤷‍♀️

      Yeah that’s because the U.S. doesn’t have the production capacity to support its steel demands. We import something like 20% of the steel we use, and it’s mostly from our neighbors, which these fucking dumbasses are pissing off for zero benefit.
