It is unconscionable

[bluescribbler]

That the Federal Government is competing with states and outbidding them for necessary life saving equipment and PPE, driving up prices. For example, this morning on MSNBC, KY Gov. said that masks which normally cost $.80 each are now selling for more than $4.00. Someone is profiteering on a large scale while health care workers and first responders are risking their lives, and [atients are not able to receive the care they need.

[Ferrets are Cool]

1. And should be criminal. nt

[Timewas]

2. Bad for sure

But not a real surprise...........

[no_hypocrisy]

3. Trump has turned humanitarian care into a reality show where "contestants"

turn on one another in order to survive.

[FiveGoodMen]

14. Ever read The Running Man?

[no_hypocrisy]

17. I will now . . . . Thanks!

[calimary]

23. Well why not? That's "Reality TV" - the world from whence he came.

He is the camera whore of all time.

[MineralMan]

4. Trump's Government is buying everything up, so it can dole it out

according to Trump's priorities, I'm afraid. So, if you're a blue state, good luck getting all the supplies you need. If you're a red state, he'll send you whatever you want.

That's what I'm afraid of - Trump using medical supplies to extort Governors in blue states. Watch for it!

[not fooled]

13. Yeah, Fate has delivered to red don

the ultimate opportunity to control and manipulate the nation--literally determine who lives and who dies.

[crickets]

18. Nailed it. nt

[Lock him up.]

24. Michigan voted for the orange menace by a theater crowd so...

... maybe he thinks that theater crowd vanished or got sick or will not suffice?

5. In the immortal words of Country Joe and the Fish:

"There's plenty of money to be made
by the supplying the army with the tools of it's trade."

Of course this is a different "army", but the same thing is happening.

[2naSalit]

7. +1

[DemoTex]

11. But remember what else Country Joe & the Fish said ..

"Whoopee, we're all gonna die!"

[iluvtennis]

12. + agreee. nt

[cry baby]

6. Anything to keep the profits flowing. nt

[uponit7771]

8. K&R, that's the reason Red Don wont enact all of the defense protection act

[Traildogbob]

9. Why the surprise?

How much did, is, Cheney and GOP profiting off of dead soldiers without proper gear in Iraq? Rumsfeld on lack of gear for soldiers sent into lie war, “We go to war with what we have!”

[bucolic_frolic]

10. eBay wouldn't allow it

I think they banned the sale of PPE, masks, gloves.

But you can buy Whole Wheat Flour for around $25 a 5 pound sack

[gibraltar72]

15. Anybody you can think of offhand?

[smirkymonkey]

16. Arghhhhhhh!

He is EVIL!

[world wide wally]

19. WTF kind of a country is this?

[ancianita]

28. A former democracy now run by mafia structured embezzlement. UNLESS we win in November.

Which this mafia will try to make sure never happens.

[OMGWTF]

20. ReThuglicans are why we can't have nice things like healthcare.

[ancianita]

21. It's NOT government. There IS NO govt. It's Trump and his henchmen corraling power over governors.

22. Who is pocketing the profit?

[ancianita]

25. Trump, Mnuchin, their jackals in the Senate and media. It's really structured embezzlement.

Setting up power toward embezzlement, right now, is more important than the profit.

They figure that today's embezzlement will be used to win in November; after that they'll continue to use it to wipe out all big pools of The People's money in Social Security and Medicare.

Asset stripping from American wealth creators -- The People -- is the long term goal of unregulated capitalism.

UNLESS they lose the Senate. Then it's game over.

[Lock him up.]

27. orange-menace jr & davanka? drumph org? nt

[onecaliberal]

26. It is premeditated murder. Period. WHY is he not being removed NOW?!?

[C Moon]

29. He's probably gathering money for his wall and his re-election.

[kacekwl]

30. Look, it's time now since we're all going to die under

the criminal GOP and trump and since a lot of us are home to literally bring out the pitchforks and torches. Millions in the streets demanding trump/ pence be removed. McConnell and all. Republican leadership resgin immediately .
