One thing about the tariffs is, i hope prices actually drop back to around 100/ton for steel. I got way, way, way too much competition in my area. need some to drop out of the game. I swear its been years since the cord cutters have been around, and now seems they are back.
Steel is a bit different here because it's so rural. It has to be trucked out in 15 ton loads in order for it to be cost effective. People occasionally try to do it by the pickup truck loads but they don't make much after expenses.
Try to ignore the cord cutters as much as you can. It's like most anything else in life .... you only get out of a thing .... what you are willing to put into it. The cord cutters ? They generally don't make much of an effort so they don't have much to show at the end of the day. They aren't much of a threat to you.
I'll tell ya though ... i have been tempted to coat those cords in grease, burnt transmission fluid, or old differential oil.
