In the "where there's smoke there's (possibly) fire" department, I've seen a lot of smoke regarding Clermont Steel closing and/or B&M no longer using them for fabrication.
Thoosies are trying to connect this with the new B&M rattle, implying that Clermont is at fault for poor manufacturing. Obviously this is far-fetched. However, if the news is accurate, a lot of things could be at blame, with tariffs and the substantial changes in geopolitics and macroeconomics being prime suspects.
This would be a loss for American manufacturing. While not nearly as important as jobs and livelihoods being affected, it'll be sad to no longer see track for unannounced projects sitting out in Ohio or going around the country on trucks. They seemed pretty cool with thoosies too, given that Jeff was given a tour a while back.
