What do you suppose it means

Alloy: Maybe tone it down a little bit ?

I get the whole V for Vendetta mask thing but it's all politics. We try to steer around that here to keep the peace.

Also note: There are 7 operational steel smelters left - owned by 3 companies - which do not have to capacity to rebuild US industry back to WW2 levels for an estimated 20 - 40 years.

You say that but we in Pennsylvania still have many industrial factories open and spurning out goods. And still have many of the same machines that built shells in WW2. I work at a machinist shop and we have many turret lathes that are still working after 70 years.
