Title: Political Sign Wires (?)
Post by: jay on November 04, 2020, 10:20:21 AM
Most of the political signs that I see around the Mahoning Valley use metal wires to stick in the ground.  I assume similar signs are used throughout the United States.  Just think how many thousands of tons of steel were used to form these wires

Questions

Was the steel for the wires produced in the United States?

How many of these steel wires will be recycled to make new steel?

Certain ones were probably produced in the USA, certain ones probably not.

One one hand, I hope Elmo-Ytown is wrong because they're all made in the USA.

On the other hand, and unfortunately more likely, I have to hope Elmo-Ytown is right because they're all probably made somewhere else and some would be better than none made here.
