So may idiots, so little time! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dric902 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Pres Trump has directed @SecAzar to use the authority of the Defense Production Act to order General Motors "to accept, perform and prioritize Federal contracts for ventilators." In written statement, @POTUS says the Coronavirus situation "too urgent" for negotiations with GM. Â 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it won't work, just that I'd like to know someone cared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just before invoking the order for GM to make ventilators, he said this: President Trump expressed skepticism Thursday night that the worst-case coronavirus pandemic scenarios would come to pass in the U.S., telling Fox News' "Hannity" that "I have a feeling that a lot of the numbers that are being said in some areas are just bigger than they're going to be." "I don't believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators," Trump told host Sean Hannity, an apparent reference to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's recent claim that the state needed 30,000 ventilators. "You know, you go into major hospitals sometimes and they'll have two ventilators and now all of a sudden they're saying, 'Can we order 30,000 ventilators?'" . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first few thousand won’t pass QC, then a few, then a recall. charges for rework, setup and changeover, etc in 3 months they will be on full blown production, just as it ends and they aren’t needed . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Democrat governors are the most pessimistic. It fits with their claims that if I can't control your lives you are going to die! This is like watching the story of the Chicken in the sky is falling. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn right! I worked for one of the biggest government contractors in the country. I was telling my wife that when the United States manufacturing gets the momentum into production, we will be up to our asses in masks and ventilators for some time to come. It's going to be harder to turn off production than it was to turn it on. Our nation is made to produce, it's one of the wonders of the modern world. We'll be eating that crap before this is over. Edited March 28, 2020 by janice6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it won't work, just that I'd like to know someone cared. I think the only reason he invoked the defense act on GM was they kept playing games. First they said they could product lots of product and then they changed their mind and said it would be the end of April. Then the started in on the contract price they wanted to negotiate. This is the same GM that the Federal Government bailed out just a few years ago, they must of forgot. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
