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.
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.
