Lmao invest in Canadian aluminum and steel. We don’t want to give it to the states anymore and we produce quite a bit
The UK’s sudden scramble to prop up its steel industry after Trump’s tariffs is a pathetic dance of desperation. Reynolds’ “urgent strategy” reeks of reactive panic—like watching a kicked dog finally yelp. Investing in electric arc furnaces? Cute. But it’s just rearranging deck chairs while global capitalism’s clown car speeds toward the cliff.
Refusing to retaliate? Classic. Begging for scraps at the table instead of flipping it. Starmer’s “level-headed assessment” is code for doing nothing while workers get shafted. The whole system’s rigged, and we’re still pretending rulebooks matter.
