Reading into it more. They have the local capacity to process it but the scrap is being sold on the export market because the Chinese can under bid them. If they dont have material to meet the local capacity the plants could shutdown, destroying or “backfiring” on their existing capabilities.

In this case it does sound like the best course of action is to at least have enough scrap to meet local capacity before they export.

You can usually choose which accounts to add and add assets manually if you want but I think generally you don’t want your primary residence in net worth. If you need a snapshot of what you can afford, you don’t want to have to sell your home for it.

If they’re shipping it to China and back then it diminishes the environmental benefits, but I don’t know the actual logistics.

There is more than one answer because at different sizes things behave differently.

I’ve found that small local gyms or martial art schools to be the most welcoming environments if you’re interested in those things and willing to put time into the practice. The people don’t really care about the preexisting societal structure as the school dictates it’s own and everyone is there for the same reason. There are still some shitty groups at predatory institutions so have to watch out for those.
