I see this as 'steel is going to be affordable again'

Heard that yesterday in comments too. I don't have any particular insight. But this kind of first order viewpoint feels reductionist.

Steel & other construction suppliers have been ongoing investments, distributed wide & far across the world. Many of these suppliers & adjunct industries might not make it demand dries up too quickly. It's hard to predict what higher order effects really are.

no with the wars going on right now...
does that really amount to much steel compared to buildings?
gonna need some new buildings, too
