The $1.6bn Biden-era plan for a gas-powered blast furnace at a steel mill in Middletown, Ohio, is indefinitely on hold
A Biden-era plan to implement a gas-powered blast furnace at a steel mill in Ohio, which would have eliminated tons of greenhouse gases from the local environment year over year and created more than a thousand jobs, has been put on hold indefinitely by the Trump administration.
Experts and locals say the setback could greatly affect the health and financial state of those living around the mill.
The way they fell all over themselves to kill stimulus checks and enhanced unemployment as quickly as possible in 2021 was super telling, there’s a lot of Dems that fear empowering working class people more than anything so they’re constantly trying to route government money through state agencies or nonprofits or businesses to make sure “responsible” people get to set conditions on things poor people need to survive
I always thought the timing on events surrounding that was super sus. 1st Bernie tricks congress into giving people a weekly check. Que the powers that be clutching their pearls and decrying “nobody wants to work anymore!” Next we have one of the largest influxes of immigrants we’ve ever had, with the border more or less flung open. Lots of cheap willing labor. Lord forbid American workers get a leg up. And once again we’re fighting anything but a class war.
Edit: don’t get me wrong, I’m not hating on anyone who showed up looking for a better life. I hate the powers that be scheming to keep the price of labor low, scheming to sow discord and xenophobia in a crass and clumsy reaction to a huge swath of our population not needing their peon style economic arrangement for a few mere weeks.
