Rogue Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Quote "The running of the factory machines is very limited today and will only occur when the president is touring the facility floor," Virginia Templet, the company's marketing manager told USA TODAY in response to questions about the event. "Swabs produced during that time will be discarded." This what the article says. There's a couple ways to view this. One, the company shuts down production until Trump gets his photo op. This may be standard procedure for any "unknown" coming to the facility. Two, the company had a day off of normal production for some reason but only ran the machines for Trump's photo op. It is most likely they shut down production for the president's visit....the "unknown". As such, a days production is down. Unless reasoning is provided that the company took the day off outside of a photo shoot, it's reasonable to say a days production was lost. Either way, production is lost because of a photo shoot. Either a days worth or the "limited production's" worth. What's really being missed is the president's refusal to lead by example, and it's not just this moment. How the fuck hard is it to wear a mask? It's not and a simple ask to help slow the spread. But no, we don't have that leader. We have a leader that always bucks the system to look tough, or he knows his base wants to buck the system.....even at their own peril. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Let's drop the "maybe it was a summer Friday" speculation National shortages of swabs was part of what severely hampered early coronavirus testing efforts. The Trump administration used the Korean War-era Defense Production Act to increase production, which Trump is expected to tout on Friday. Puritan, which received millions of dollars from the federal government to double production, is one of only two companies that make the kind of swabs needed in coronavirus testing.

The production just did not happen. No materials wasted, except for the swabs in the photo op. Correct? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamalisms Posted June 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Everything. Made. That. Day. Is. Lost. Almost as lost as someone claiming the article doesn't say this is what happened. Almost. But not quite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamalisms Posted June 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Hey, it only took about 10 tries but you're getting pretty close to the suggested head in sand stance! Are you sure you don't want to go back to claim the article doesn't say everything made that day was getting tossed? It's a loser stance but more fun for us. Figured I'd ask.

No materials wasted, except for the swabs in the photo op. Correct? Technically, lost wouldn't be the correct term as you can't lose something that doesn't exist. However, generally speaking, it is commonly said that a business that doesn't produce, that is a lose. Similarly, if you miss a days worth of work, it is often considered lost wages even though those wages never existed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMax Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 JAQing off The act of asking leading questions to influence your audience, then hiding behind the defense that they're "Just Asking Questions," even when the underlying assumptions are completely insane.

WG53 Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 They scaled down production because they knew he was coming. So yes, it is more than just those few minutes as they weren't producing their normal amount because of the dumbass in chief. JFC Ltf is a fucking idiot.
