Enjoy your all concrete buildings for the foreseeable future.

It's not just construction, but manufacturing in general.

Steel has already become hard to find as warehouses have sold their current stock to fund up and cover the new costs when they have to restock.

Bye bye wind farms, auto industry, plane rides that cost less than a month's pay, etc, etc, etc...

I'm fucking pissed

As soon as I saw it, I thought of our discussions immediately.

I think Trump is trying to find the few Americans who still like him and trying to get them to stop:

Dadd @ 1/3/2018 13:07 vladykins @ 1/3/2018 14:04 Ape and I have been chatting on this off and on in the previous Congrats America thread. He's gonna get effected by this big time. His entire industry ... raw costs are going to go up for everyone though, right? We currently have about 10 mill worth of unpurchased steel floating out there. By the time we can purchase it, it may cost us 15 mil. I might need a job. FUCK YOU TRUMP!!!!

Surely with the cost raising like they are, you can go back to GC, Owners and resubmit the raised price?

Make sure to tell them it's Trump's fault.

We'll try to appeal and get whatever the GC has in contingency, of course. Historically that has been a really tough sell, though.

Yikes, just seeing this now. The GC won't want to take the hit, and the owner definitely won't give two shits that prices have gone up.

This is a tough spot you guys are in Primate, hopefully you guys can work through the projects you've got on the books and stay afloat!

We have been worried about it since he took office and pre-ordering everything we can for about a month.

Hopefully he'll trickle it in over a year or two instead of slapping it all down at once.

Even then, it's up to the reactions f the nations that it effects.

He's already been pushed back a week on the announcement, so hopefully he gets shut down on this.

It's been being postponed a few weeks at a time since January or so. It's a commodity, though. SO the prices have gone up like crazy already.

If the mill capacity increases, the really big shops will buy their own mills and screw everyone else like they did BITD.
