Way back in my industrial demolition day, almost every project
had 'US Steel' embossed on the beams, etc.

Toward the end of my career, it was primarily chinese steel.

I remember the summers riding thru Clairton as a child at the peak of steel production there—the think cloud of sulphur smelling smoke coming from the mill was so bad we had to roll the windows up in the car because of my mom’s asthma. I drove thru there 20+ years later in it was a ghost town—nothing but ramshackle houses and shuttered buildings.

I worked in a steel mill during my Junior and Senior years of college and had to become a member of the USW. I never got paid so much for doing so little in my life because of union rules.

On one Thanksgiving Day, I was paid 2.5 times my rate for sleeping 8 hours in an overhead crane that never moved an inch.

I knew then that the steel industry was in big trouble.

In 1945, the USA produced 57 percent of world steel output.

Today it is 5 percent
