The evening “news” mentioned it in passing, while reporting TIG taking a victory lap over U S Steel being bought out.

Well that should further mess up production lines across the country…
I just had a post pulled for making what I thought was a provably true statement about a politician. So I’ll be more cautious.
Trump’s tariff policies are very thoughtful and well planned. We’re very lucky to have such a wise and courageous leader.

Already being messed up, due to a shortage of the rare earth containing magnets used in electric motors in all those power assist whizzbangs in cars.

I flagged that as misinformation. (jk)
Or, alternatively, we can develop a basic encryption method: just reverse the meaning of all of your posts. That’s the key.

my advice to those steel workers is: don’t spend it until the check clears. Trump never right about anything, other than front running his TACO trade

And that’s on top of the $5,000 DOGE bonus that is guaranteed for all Americans!
We are blessed to have such a wise and benevolent leader. As consistent as the stars.

Democrats are seething as working class moves towards Trump more.
He is taking the US economy issue by issue out in the street and murdering it.

You must have the volume on your computer down low.
The steel workers union remains cautiously skeptical.
“At this time, we cannot say whether the ‘planned partnership’ described in Friday’s message on Truth Social or news reports since then represents any meaningful change from the merger proposed in 2023, under which Nippon Steel would acquire U.S. Steel and make it a wholly owned subsidiary,” the statement said. “Our core concerns about Nippon Steel — a foreign-owned corporation with a documented history of violating U.S. trade laws — remain as strong and valid today as ever, and that is so whether U.S. Steel and Nippon adhere to the same deal that they have pursued since December 2023 or whether they tweak the terms to satisfy concerns in Washington.”

We’ll probably find out the acquisition must be paid for using a certain meme coin…

Some reporting has said the new “arty deal” gives the US government a degree of direct control of the company. I suppose that is one way to make sure that opportunities are given to straight, white, Christian, men, first.
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — U.S. Sen. David McCormick said Tuesday that an arrangement that will allow Japan-based Nippon Steel to invest in U.S. Steel will guarantee an American CEO, a majority of board members from the United States and U.S. government approval over certain corporate functions.

Government controlling the means of production?
I know what that is.
It demonstrates that politics is curved. Go far enough to one extreme, and you end up at the other extreme.
In general, fascist governments exercised control over private property but they did not nationalize it
So, the Marxist model, and the Fascist model both feature state control of industry. The only difference is who is the “owner”.
