Anonymous Coward User ID: 77092879 04/03/2020 09:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | isn't it communism when the government takes over the affairs of a private company? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71037081 [link to nypost.com (secure)] President Trump said 3M “will have a big price to pay” after he ordered the manufacturing giant to churn out more protective face masks for the coronavirus fight. Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to get more N95 respirators from the Minnesota-based company “after seeing what they were doing with their masks,” he tweeted Thursday evening. Health-care workers have been grappling with a shortage of the masks that filter out airborne particles. “Big surprise to many in government as to what they were doing – will have a big price to pay!” the president tweeted. Trump’s executive order directing 3M to make more masks authorizes the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency to acquire from the company any number of N95 masks that he “determines to be appropriate.” 3M was selling mask to foreign government for cash instead of selling to Americans state governments and hospitals. Trump ended that and embarrassed 3M. So your personal interpretation sucks and reflect ignorance. Go back to school, Skippy. |

Do NOT make any product in the US!! ONLY make them in plants located OUTSIDE of the United States.

Watching the shills "adapt" to their new script daily does provide comedy relief however. The script reads as follows: Whatever Trump does, be against. Whatever Trump doesn't do, be in favor of.

Although not in this article others yesterday and the day before were talking about LOTS of previously manufactured masks that were owned by the purchasers but stored in warehouses in the US were being sold to overseas buyers. The numbers were in the tens of millions of masks. Apparently US buyers including the US Government were NOT willing to pay the prices asked to buy those masks but foreigners, probably foreign governments WERE. Those 10's of millions of masks, that have now probably already been shipped out of the US, were NOT owned by 3M or in their possession at the time their owners were selling them to overseas buyers last week. I fail to see where 3M is responsible for their buyer's actions for sales, and delivery, that took place BEFORE the US decided to get serious about the CV. Remember, just 2 weeks ago - March 17th or so - President Trump was saying this CV thing was a BIG NOTHING!! and the US Government was NOT yet trying to acquire all the masks it could. |
