It’ll really…what’s the phrase…“get the Motor City revving its engines once again” when auto makers have to pay more for steel. My last client’s factory in the US was already being hurt by high steel prices for all of last year. This situation is likely to get that factory shut down.

Plus all this manufactured uncertainty is hard on companies. Because they have to make long range strategy decisions that take time and cost money to implement. So all this “maybe we’ll do this, maybe we won’t maybe we’ll do something else, check back next month” is very expensive and probably really infuriating. ---
