Does the Emperor have clothes?

It's just been a few months since CEO Laurenco Goncalves was very vocally and publicly leading a crusade for Cliffs to buy the United States Steel Corporation. With what?

I'll grant that Mr. Goncalves is very good at running threats and bluffs that some folks and local politicians willingly fall for. It's almost funny, but it isn't now.
