    See now you are focused on the correct issue...

    I don't agree with the people voting for Trump, but I can understand why people did...

    As much as the issue is Trump, the bigger issue is with the House and the Senate... If the GOP Senate did their job, then a lot of these issues would not exist....

    And also the "Damn if you do or Damn if you Don't" came from voters that CNN randomly talked to in 2016.. These were also Democrats

    One week later this has not been done.
    No private business wants to do it because they might make too many of them and then they can't sell them and they would lose money.

    I have also read that the ventilators cost about $25,000 (seems perhaps low to me). It is estimated that we might need 8x's the roughly 100, 000 we have. ( mid point of the estimates) So 700,000 times 25,000 equals 175,000,000,000. 175 billion. We have the money and the excess deaths are on our f'd up leaders hands.

    BTW during WW II it took only a few weeks to convert spark plug assembly lines to making machine guns etc.

    With logic like this I have to wonder if when Jorge says he dines with industrialists. he might just be the bus boy eating their left overs.

    It is fairly obvious from my high IQ, enormous vocabulary, rapier wit, and gorgeous, luscious hair, that I am a highly successful businessman.

    GOOD DAY

    All 51 GOP Senators voted on an amendment yesterday not to do this.

    Trump makes Obama look good. However, this is typical Obama. He was president of the United States, but always acts like he was just another "player in the game" with limited power.

    Trump is embarrassing and if you still support him you are frankly a dumbass.

    I'm generally more concern that this admin is not wanting to pick up these type of responsibility and is pushing them back to each State. There is no "united" state approach it seems. Each state is on their own, to solve their problems and together, maybe they eventually solve the national crisis. Perhaps that can work if each State become island. That's not going to happen.

    I know nothing of ventilators, but I would assume at 25k or higher each, it's a pretty sophisticated piece of equipment. There might be very good reasons why the fed gov can't or won't do this yet, but what I want to hear is they acknowledge the request, work through the # based on science and experts advice, provide good reasoning and timeline for what they are doing. I do not want to hear, go do it yourself.

    Same thing for
    - what's our testing strategy?
    - what's our strategy for the 2nd wave? 3rd wave?
    - what's our monitoring strategy?
    - what's our strategy for lifting restrictions and going back to norm?

    .... just leave it to each state ? I think that's an extended disaster.
