After Qassem Soleimani’s killing by American military forces on Jan 3rd, weapons manufacturer Raytheon’s stock shot up, closing at a record high. The man in charge of the Pentagon, Defense Sect Mark Esper, spent years as Raytheon’s top lobbyist before joining the Trump admin.

Before the Raytheon man, the interim Defense Secretary before him was an ex Boeing exec. That’s how it works, folks. And it will work that way until we get the money out of politics.
