Trump’s steel and aluminium tariffs cost US consumers $900,000 a year for every job saved
The cost is more than 13 times the typical salary of a steelworker, according to Labour Department data, and it is similar to other economists' estimates that Mr Trump's tariffs on washing machines are costing consumers $815,000 per job created.
    The result is that domestic steel prices have been higher than foreign ones, boosting profits for US steel mills but putting US manufacturers that use steel at a disadvantage to European and Chinese competitors.   ...jobs in steel-using industries outnumber those in steel production by about 80 to 1.

She seems to be saying that it is just silly to think that anything could make a woman's character stronger
