So it's cool that foreign steel mill workers are instead maimed.

People generally sign up to be in a steel mill because it's the best option they have to provide for their family. Another words, their alternatives are even worse.

If you want tariff that option away from a bunch of China-men, have them do the next even shittier dangerous job that they bypassed on the way to the steel mill, and then save them while you instead work next to molten iron, that's the proposition you're moving towards.

Of course if you want a little taste of being that hero, there are domestic steel mills currently hiring, you can take that job so the next guy in line won't get maimed. But somehow I think you won't, so you must be "all cool" they are "instead maimed."

So don't bother to improve safety either. I've worked in manufacturing for most of my life, worked manual lathes and mills in a machine shop and been in drop forging facilities. I'm well aware of industrial hazards so don't even try to patronize me.

I'm not sure what you're arguing for here, but you come off as morally bankrupt. Worker safety can certainly be improved but people like you happily shrug it off and are fine with hazardous cost cutting which allows people to continue to be maimed as long as you're steel or whatever is super cheap.
