That the Federal Government is competing with states and outbidding them for necessary life saving equipment and PPE, driving up prices. For example, this morning on MSNBC, KY Gov. said that masks which normally cost $.80 each are now selling for more than $4.00. Someone is profiteering on a large scale while health care workers and first responders are risking their lives, and [atients are not able to receive the care they need.

(146,317 posts)according to Trump's priorities, I'm afraid. So, if you're a blue state, good luck getting all the supplies you need. If you're a red state, he'll send you whatever you want.
That's what I'm afraid of - Trump using medical supplies to extort Governors in blue states. Watch for it!

(36,066 posts)Setting up power toward embezzlement, right now, is more important than the profit.
They figure that today's embezzlement will be used to win in November; after that they'll continue to use it to wipe out all big pools of The People's money in Social Security and Medicare.
Asset stripping from American wealth creators -- The People -- is the long term goal of unregulated capitalism.
UNLESS they lose the Senate. Then it's game over.
Lock him up.
