President Joe Biden said Friday that he has decided to block a $15 billion takeover of U.S. Steel by the Japanese company Nippon Steel, capping off a yearlong business saga that drifted into election-year politics.

The decision comes after a national security review by a Treasury Department committee failed to reach a consensus on the deal and referred the final decision to the president in December. NBC News had reported in September that Biden was preparing to block the takeover.

The president, who leaves office in little more than two weeks, faced a challenging political calculus over the fate of the iconic Pittsburgh-based firm: Allowing a foreign entity with far greater resources to take it over could put the business on stabler financial footing. But keeping U.S. Steel in American hands risked the company’s survival under intense foreign competition.

You can play either way.

Hopefully this doesn't age well, but if we miss on Pribula, Chattanooga receiver, and Rice OT is it possible we stand pat? We needed to be very aggressive in the portal to even be competitive next year with that brutal schedule. On top of everyone else in the BIG10 getting better through the portal. I'm concerned.

I couldn’t find the thread, but I know this has been discussed. Multiple high profile athletes have had their homes robbed while on the road.
This must be an organized crime ring, right?

Watching a few games today and they were actually throwing the ball downfield. One time it even resulted in pass interference on the defense. Wow!!

Nice second half adjustments Lester! Brilliant!

👀 phase one complete?

Tape measure. I could have everything else in life humming along, perfectly aligned and the tape measure would still be missing.

I swear I've bought a half dozen over the years and yet today as I embark on another DIY project I cannot find one.
