Being typically misinformed and misdirected louel you're focused on Chinese steel which supplies a trivial 4% of the US market, mostly by accident.

Donald Trumpkopf's import tariffs on steel and aluminum hurt the US, Canada, and the EU - not China.

Most US steel imports come from the EU. I know you say putting an import tariff on EU steel will kick China in the pants, but only because you have Trump's low mentality and low information level. You don't even have a clue where the metal in your own lunch box came from.

Trump's import tariff on aluminum produced in Quebec Canada by American companies is even more idiotic indeed and yes, I'm strongly opposed to that as well.

These plants were once located in Washington state but Alcoa realized they could sell their hydroelectric output to west coast consumers for more than they could sell the aluminum for - and simply move their plants to Quebec where hydroelectric electricity was cheaper still. Unlike electricity, Alcoa doesn't lose a large percentage of their aluminum when they ship it long distances.

The US imports 90% of the aluminum used, mostly from Canada - and very recently huge quantities from Europe trying to beat Trumpkopf's import duties as Canadian production is already maxed out.

There's virtually no aluminum producers in America, so the import tariff on American aluminum from Canada simply makes US manufacturers less competitive in the global market, losing more US jobs in the process - while also hurting Canada and US aluminum producers in Canada. A double-idiotic Trump foot bullet.

Get your head out of the Fox New sewer and you might be able to connect with the real world of business you know nothing about. Taking more of your prescription drugs won't help.

Brain is like a computer. When fed with garbage it gets corrupted and only garbage out can be the result.

The brain is anything but "like a computer". That may be the media hype you bought into. :)

You can feed anything with garbage. It may or may not be corrupted as a result. What comes out may depend on many things.

Conversely, you can feed a computer the best data for your problem and it can still give you garbage.

This is why you cannot construct a proof from data.
