IsntLifeFunny Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Wouldn’t it be nice to get good news? It seems we can’t have nice things such as protective gear for our nurses and doctors. Nope, not as long as dum dum is running the show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, this 'author's does not produce even one fact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he initiated the Defense Production Act then the government becomes the first buyer for all of these products. It would be illegal not to give the federal government the first right to buy. So, as usual, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, as usual, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Well, IF this story is true, you may have a point. But I have not found one other corroborating story or facts that support this Forbes story. There are 500 stories about shortages of these masks. In fact, companies are voluntarily switching to make masks and ventilators. So why force someone to do what they are doing voluntarily? If Trump did enact the DPA, you would condemn him for trying to take over everything like a dictator. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Trump peed on them and told them it was lemonade, they would gather it up to sell with full disclosure finding it being bought rapidly by Trump supporters chanting, "give me some Trump lemonade please."

Little Earl Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 We need Biden to explain why the Obama admininstration did not order the N95 masks to replace the 100 million used with the swine flu, despite experts advising them to do so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVTITAN Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 @Little Earl your thought process is just political. You always talk about Obama and past mistakes instead of the here and now. Fuck every admin has fucked shit up. What the hell truthfully does Obama matter? It’s been THREE FUCKING YEARS you jackass since OBAMA left office. Wake up.

Obama ran through a virus emergency situation scenario with the Trump administration as one of the last things he did in office. What did trump do? Threw out the funding, shut down departments and mismanage/let reserves go to waste. if you are a new manager, your role is to shore up the loose ends in the company and manage the business effectively. Ensure reserves and savings are prepped and contributed to accordingly and ensure stock is full/working/ready. This is your basic fucking job before you try to sell product. The president is no different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
