We export more steel now than we did in the 1980s.
The difference is we need fewer people to do the steel.
We came up with better innovations for it, and therefore we have fewer people working in it.
But the actual exports are fine.
With cars, most of the cars we get in the United States, even if they're foreign, like Kia, Toyota, whatever, they're manufactured here in the United States by American workers.
You can buy stock.
That's not correct.
It is unfortunate if they'd wanted to relocate their factory to Louisiana.
Should that have been legal?
It would have caused the same problem, though, right?
Like Flint would have had the same issue?
My point is just if they were to relocate elsewhere in America, you'd still have that kind of collapse of services because you'd have fewer people.
Certainly they do.
Do you think it would be preferential if they all had tariffs between each other?
I mean, if it's good to build up the local economy, wouldn't it be beneficial to have these protectionist measures internally?
I would be fine with that if you wanted to have like alternate currencies.
