YouTube Notes:
This week ~
- Trump’s economic blitz — and why we’re winning;
- Economics as the midterm issue;
- The campaign isn’t four weeks out as wallpaper; the blitz is underway now;
- Iowa’s planned $15B Mesabi mega mill;
- Alaska LNG plus the Beluga–Healy Railbelt line;
- Alabama’s $3.2B I-10 Mobile River Bridge groundbreaking;
- Sparrows Point rebuilt for this century — set against Barbara’s short tease: towns that lost their factories versus productive rebuild;
- Midterms decide which map wins.
On the board:
- Pledges vs shovels — what’s firm vs still being negotiated in Iowa and Korea/Alaska;
- Railbelt timelines (not before 2030);
- Sparrows Point as the image of building again, and how to talk re-industrialization with neighbors who only hear gas prices.
Susan stays on the economic offensive. Midterms starting now.
