This is John Bachelor, conversation with my good colleague Gene Marks, a small business columnist,

Guardian in the UK and US, and the Philadelphia Inquire and other distinguished publications

traveling for small businesses

across the nation he recently went to Banff Canada to meet with the Steel

Founders Society. This is Specialist Steel and Jean explains how excited they are by the election upcoming and how excited

they are that their business can grow if they're provided adequate defenses from

the subsidized dumping that has been gone on these last

years by the People's Republic of China is Jean Marks to explain the Steel

Founders Society dedicated to the advancement of the steel casting industry through manufacturing

and design R&D, customer education, specifications development, and 120 years of

operating and business knowledge. I read from the website more of this later

Gene Marks yeah they I mean this is primarily an American group they are a it's a small group actually these are companies that run

steel casting industry these are you know foundries you know that these are the guys

that take steel like you know the wrong material and

turn it into you know you sellable steel products blocks and you know and molds you

know molded steel.

And yeah, it was in Banff Canada, which John,

I don't know if you've ever been to Banff,

but it is a beautiful part of the world.

It was wonderful.

But it's a small group. Here's a bunch of guys that are just, you know, without getting too political, you know, because we don't really get too political, but boy, they're salivating at the idea of a Trump presidency and higher tariffs on China and

plus other countries they compete with.
