oh great another bailout for the cement boys. taxpayers get stiffed again while the board laughs all the way to the bank.

Alex Rivera2026-07-20T22:26:38.000Z

actually, if we don't protect local cement, we'll be importing it from china. think about it

Phoenix Reid2026-07-20T22:46:38.000Z

good on Nicola for stepping in. can't build houses without cement. simple as that

another handout to the construction lobby. meanwhile the rest of us can't afford a loaf of bread

Morgan Lee2026-07-20T23:25:38.000Z

lol cope. you'd be the first to cry when prices go up

answer the question instead of changing the subject

Taylor Wright2026-07-20T23:43:38.000Z
