I dont understand what the fudge is going on here.
Each day at 5:00 we are making Millions of test kits each week, hundreds thousands of mask each week, ventilators not made by ventilator companies but by by auto makers, 15 thousand each day. Each state has more than enough and we are shipping supplies all over the world!
Yet the States are pleading for supplies, hospitals beds, and refrigerators for bodies. States are bidding with the Federal government for procurement of supplies and no ne has enough.
I understand that Trump cant be believed, but half of the population believes each word that he says. He must be called out on each lie the moment that he tells it. Now the professionals are adjusting their message for best case scenario instead of the reality. That doesnt help anyone.
This isn't about votes anymore, it is about lives.

(11,885 posts)So trump and putin can get putins oil sanctions lifted, for him while he's still attacking the upcoming election to help trump and the republicans rig the election. Its a form of a payoff for putin for election help.

(232 posts)...with the Administration's help. (Why N95 masks weren't immediately covered by dual-use Export Administration Regulations (EAR) is beyond me.) Russia takes delivery, cranks the price up, puts them back on a plane (maybe the same plane) and sends them back where they started. The broker and Putin (and Trump's re-election coffers) get a hefty take, and Americans get ripped off and die.
Hypothetically, of course. I'm not cynical...
