Steel is failing quality control checks for content. Of course, contract engineers have flown to China at great expense to personally oversee welding and fabrication, but are complaining of constant sickness from food poisoning, haha.

Another cheap Chinese insult to this country. All sanctioned by our government.
I say let the Chinks build and install a Nuke plant next door to Nancy
