    "Key Judgment 4: We assess that China did not deploy interference efforts and considered but did not deploy influence efforts intended to change the outcome of the US Presidential election. We have high confidence in this judgment. China sought stability in its relationship with the United States, did not view either election outcome as being advantageous enough for China to risk getting caught meddling, and assessed its traditional influence tools primarily targeted economic measures and lobbying-would be sufficient to meet its goal of shaping US China policy regardless of the winner.

    The bolded is crucial messaging to get out. I agree that we shouldn't be referring to what happened on November 3rd (and weeks afterward) as an "election" in any way/shape/form. Biden was installed, not elected, and I like what Trump is doing, hereby referring to the event as The Big Lie.

    So much for American jobs from the Biden administration. Good paying jobs gone in a state hurting for good paying jobs. Maybe Pennsylvanians will remember this come 2022...
    According to the article, US Steel sais it was canceling its plans because “the world has changed in the two years since it announced its intentions. Biden has been President for four months, so, how is this his fault?

    LOL, they did it to create competition amongst states for their mills, they want incentives, like bigger tax breaks to build.

    Shocking, another denier, admit it, no election anywhere is ever going to be accepted by you as legitimate unless your candidate wins, I do believe adolescents have a term for that type behavior

    People will find work in the new, useful, eco-friendly industries. Filth-producers should have been phased out some time back. Too bad for the polluting bosses- and their disreputable shareholders- but hey, there's no planet B.

    Yes, it is a Big Lie, because the election was fair. Trump has always been The Biggest Liar!

    One of the ways it changed is Biden got elected. One of the first things he did is ban fracking on federal land. Since he's clearly moving towards the Green New Deal which for US Steel means it's likely better to build in another country where they won't be facing onerous pollution rules.

    Not necessarily, and they may not find work at all. Steel is a basic commodity that we need to continue to have the society we live in. You can't just make it go away and still have things made from steel.

    The question is: How much pollution should we accept or allow? What's your answer?

    Biden plans to only buy American, that would be a stupid move on their part. All future Presidents, if they really care about America first should do the same.

    Not true, the company clearly said events over two years, not over four months, you are reframing facts to fit your argument

    Biden can wish in one hand... If the only place to get the steel is from a foreign nation then what? If the companies making it refuse to build a plant in the US then what? Biden can't make companies build here and if he gives them every incentive not to they won't. If Biden raises taxes on corporations through the rafters and they leave, then what? He can say "Buy American" all he wants but if his actions hurt American corporations then they'll leave for friendlier shores. He can't have it both ways. That's what doomed Detroit.
