We seem to have an approach that says let private business step up, let the states figure it out. The lack of a unified federal strategy is a serious problem here. I don’t know if this is just crackpot ideology or sheer incompetence, perhaps it’s a cocktail of both.

Today Trump is trying to bully 3M. We are rudderless.

“let the states figure it out”.

so the cdc and the army corps of engineers aren’t doing anything. very accurate.

3m is denying masks to the state of FL and selling them to foreign countries. if that’s fine with you, good for you. i want and expect my president to be furious at that.

so in the same paragraph you blame the feds for not doing anything, and also blame the executive branch for trying to help get facemasks for hospital workers in FL.

Almost in the same sentence, you say Trump is doing nothing, and also doing too much.

Tell us more.

Never said that.

Regarding masks and FL That’s simply not accurate. Florida is trying to buy masks from independent distributors who require proof of ability to pay which the states are often slow to produce... so the deals are going to other bidders. Could be other states, FEMA or foreign buyers. Read beyond the headlines Jim it’s all online.

The problem here isn’t 3M as much as an administration who seems to be terrified of demonstrating that the federal government has a role to play in protecting the people outside of the traditional military.

"Never said that."

You said states are on there own, or it's every state for itself

"Florida is trying to buy masks from independent distributors"

Which is the way to buy 3M masks...

"ho require proof of ability to pay which the states are often slow to produce"

Show us some evidence, any evidence, that FL hasn't shown the ability to pay. Or are you making a wild assumption to defend your criticism of Trump. Go ahead.

"The problem here isn’t 3M as much as an administration'

Ahh, it's Trumps fault. Shocker.


"an administration who seems to be terrified of demonstrating that the federal government has a role to play in protecting the people"

Ok, to recap.

YOu said in another post that the feds aren't doing anything.

I pointed out that the CDC and army corps of engineers are doing a lot.

You then denied that you claimed the feds aren't doing anything.

Then you claimed the administration doesn't want to do anything.

You're all over the place. The only consistency, is your babylike deranged insistence that everything Trump says or does, must be incorrect.
