And had he done that a month ago, a ton more of them would have been ready when they were needed.

You know companies HAVE been working on the ventillator shortage, right?  Even without use of the DPA?

Just checking.

You know that not enough of them are being made, don't you, Kid?

That that's why Trump has had to belatedly force GM to act?

Just checking.

GM was dragging their feet.  Others were complying

Have a good night

Yes. NOT ENOUGH WERE BEING MADE.

I suspect enough are still not being made, since we (the US) requested some from other countries.

It's weird how both Marxist collectivism and liberal democracy devolve into oligarchy.

It is not weird.
It is a myth.

Hmmm. Cuomo says there are plenty in reserve.

Might want to check it out.

When the economy was in freefall after the Bush Crash, the Recovery Act, Obama's stimulus measure passed 246-183 in the House without a single Republican vote  the Senate by a vote of 60-38 with all Democrats and only three Republicans in support.

Obama was unable to get the amount over $1T which is what many advisers were calling for (roughly $1.2T).  Obama had to reduce the bill to under $800B in order to get the necessary GOP support to break a threatened filibuster, and was forced to include fairly useless tax breaks as over 1/3 of the bill.  McConnell led the opposition to the stimulus bill.  And most GOPers derided the notion that Gov't spending could resuscitate the economy and denied that govt money could have a multiplier effect.

That was how bipartisan the GOP was in an emergency when there was a DEM president (and the GOP crashed the economy).  Flash forward to today and you get unanimous votes in the Senate and just one jackass GOP thwarting things in the House.

The Trump administration (with rare exception) keeps taking umbrage at claims that they were not prepared.

They were not prepared.

Self-important, much?

Greta Thunberg


Status: Self-quarantine




The environmental activist suspected she had the coronavirus, so she stayed apart from her family. “The last two weeks I’ve stayed inside,” she shared March 24. “When I returned from my trip around Central Europe I isolated myself (in a borrowed apartment away from my mother and sister) since the number of cases of COVID-19 (in Germany for instance) were similar to Italy in the beginning. Around ten days ago I started feeling some symptoms, exactly the same time as my father — who traveled with me from Brussels. I was feeling tired, had shivers, a sore throat and coughed. My dad experienced the same symptoms, but much more intense and with a fever.” Thunberg explained that she hadn’t taken a test, because those were being reserved for emergency cases, but she suspected she had it. “Now I’ve basically recovered, but — AND THIS IS THE BOTTOM LINE: I almost didn’t feel ill. My last cold was much worse than this!” She urged people to stay home and avoid spreading the viru

How clever.  When you have no response just change the wording of the argument.
You feel better for being such a coward?
