Trump has imposed 50% tariffs on imported steel and aluminum. Jordan manufacturing doesn’t buy foreign steel. But by crippling foreign competition, Trump’s tariffs have allowed domestic US steelmakers to hike prices.

Johnson doesn’t blame them. “There’s no red-blooded capitalist who isn’t going to raise his prices’’ under those circumstances, he said.

People really love capitalism so much that they will willingly sacrifice themselves to the beast. This seems to be where religion can really be used as a tool for subjugation, this man will willingly throw himself on the altar of the dollar and think that it is just the way of things, that the best man won, that he is supposed to have his life ruined in the name of the greater power.
