Wouldn't a silver group be on-topic?

That is the woodworking newsgroup. I gave it up years ago -
too much yap about crappy tools
So have several cities around here. One is removing an old water
tower, and another just removed their old 'Space Needle' ride. About a
half million pounds of scrap steel, in total.

Looks like another load to China.
The methodology of the left has always been:
1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie

Go not to the Net for answers, for it will tell you Yes and no. And
you are a bloody fool, only an ignorant cretin would even ask the
question, forty two, 47, the second door, and how many blonde lawyers does it take to change a lightbulb.

Probably. No steel mills around here. A lot leaves from the port of
Tampa.

I was at Lowes recently, it was sad to see that Porter Cable is now positioned below Dewalt as an economy line of tools. Reportedly they still have a professional line.

That saying predates Chinese imports.
I bought four 21" Fiskars pruning saw replacement blades at HD and the first one I installed twisted sideways and jammed, because the teeth were about half a millimeter shorter on one side. I had to joint, set and file it to make it cut right. At least the flame-hardened teeth are soft enough to file. Two of the blades look nearly OK.
