So move your operations to China. Should more than make up for your 48% materials cost increase and you can use the extra to pay some of your mansion tax. 😉 ---

> [@JayS](#): > > So move your operations to China. Should more than make up for your 48% materials cost increase and you can use the extra to pay some of your mansion tax. 😉 not to go on a China rant but, China and India are buying up junk yards in the US and shipping them out - sight unseen! I now have to pay a scrap sur-charge because US mills don’t have scrap to reprocess which makes it more expensive. Last month Chrylser held onto their usual 25 tons of scrap that they usually sell every month.:gotme::snky: You thought high fuel prices hurt the economy wait for the steel price impact to compound it. ---
