     How do you manage to fuck up steel smelting?
     
     The technology is over a century old.

     @pepsi_man it wasn't fucked up. They just used a cheaper grade.

     @sickburnbro Lol, I just saw some article bemoaning the US withdrawal from foreign aid as China takes the lead on disaster relief for earthquake victims in Asia. Sorry about the bad steel. Here we'll help find the body pieces. Aren't we nice?

     The engineers may have even specified the correct steel. Doesn't mean that grade of steel was delivered or actually used by the chinks.

     @BroDrillard @pepsi_man even in the US, an engineer can *specify* things, but it needs to a) map to something that exists and b) is available
