So much wasted energy, time and talent around here..
Kraft's plane, (one of them, with Patriots logo), was sent to pick up a reported 1.5 million masks... What we don't know is if Kraft paid for crew and fuel, and landing fees? Who paid for masks? Or who is going to distribute this 'order", and whose order is it?
What we do know is that the factory producing said masks is in China... China. Not Maine. Not North Carolina. China. And we know who is working to get Americans a better deal in trade... Maybe, just maybe, after this is all done with the virus, we will see things actually being manufactured here in the USA. The corporate greed of older boomers played its part in America not making anything within our borders anymore... This has to change...

I have done all I can to buy American made products and if all Americans did that, vacationed in the US, ate out often and visit local mom and pop stores after this is over, it might send a message that will be heard.

All those masks are for Massachusetts now Russia just sent more ventilators
TRUMP latest tweet. Let's see who jumps to his defense
Massive amounts of medical supplies, even hospitals and medical centers, are being delivered directly to states and hospitals by the Federal Government. Some have insatiable appetites & are never satisfied (politics?). Remember, we are a backup for them. They should ...have been stocked up and ready long before this crisis hit. Other states are thrilled with the job we have done. Sending many Ventilators today, with thousands being built. 51 large cargo planes coming in with medical supplies. Prefer sending directly to hospitals.

All great ideas here and I am being serious. I love seeing the manufacturing being brought back also.

The My Pillow guy (1) makes everything in the USA, and (2) voluntarily re-tooled 75% of his production to making 50,000 masks a day. But he is to be mocked instead of being called a hero(not by you), because he had the audacity to mention religion.
It's not just huge CEO's who benefitted from making everything in China, we all benefitted from the lower prices. No one was forced to shop at Walmart, we all could have continued to shop at the mom and pops, but we all swarmed to Walmart because of the prices. If we make all that stuff here, prices go way up. I'm not saying I'm opposed to that, but prices will go way up. But so will quality.
