Biden and Harris are wrong. Harris was pandering. Biden is a true believer, like Trump.

There are people in the pittsburgh area that hold on to a romantic notion of steel but most people have moved on or never held that notion. People around the country hold onto the idea that steel workers are doing "real jobs". It's the workplace equivalent of "real america".

Meanwhile, in the real world, the steel industry is not big here. USS has not shown interest in running the types of steelmaking in the region and their statements about eventually shutting down this steelmaking are credible. Nippon has promised to invest billions into PA operations. This is exactly billions more than USS has promised to invest in PA operations.

Beyond all the economics, the thing that makes me the most mad about this is that it throws a critical ally and friend right under the bus. People are out there talking about "Nippon" Steel buying "US" Steel as if it's 1985 and they want to re-live the anti-japanese fervor that swept the nation back then. By suggesting that a Japanese firm is a security threat we are actively making America weaker.
