I laughed at this tweet by Tom Elliott: “There’s a non zero percent chance the mafia is involved here.”
It feels right. We’re a third-world country now in many respects. Our nurses wear trash bags because our leaders were too shortsighted and slovenly to stockpile PPE before a pandemic broke out. We’re governed by a nationalist strongman whose battle plan against the virus seems to be to give everyone some hydroxychloroquine and tell them to get back to work. Of course a society at that late stage of decline might need to turn to the mafia as a key distributor of supplies.
I don’t understand the claim here that SEIU “discovered” a distributor who was sitting on 39 million farking masks. The N95 is the gold standard, a respirator that fits tightly around the nose and mouth and filters out at least 95 percent of tiny particles. Doctors and nurses have been screaming for more of them for weeks. Trump and Mike Pence have called for donations to keep hospital workers stockpiled while the feds look to manufacture more. The masks are supposed to be single-use but they’re so scarce that medical personnel have taken to spraying them down with disinfectant and reusing them day after day while hoping for the best:
Anyone who’s sitting on 39 million masks surely understands what they do and why they’re desperately needed now. How were they only “discovered” this week?

They were .45 cents a mask 6 months ago.
isn’t this illegal gouging?
Betcha a team of Navy SEALs could get them for free, along with the SEIU’s lunch money...
We are the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), a union of about 2 million diverse members in healthcare, the public sector and property services.
So they are going to charge the American people to give themselves the equipment they need and already have?
"Beam me up, Scotty! There's no intelligent life in the Beltway"
"Allahpundit" really is a piece of shit, isn't he?
I dropped a nice load of AllahPundit in my toilet this morning.
It kind of had 0bama's face...
"We'll take those now. Thanks very much"
No, the whole pile.
Paging AG Barr, paging AG Barr. There is a case of price gouging and hoarding at the SEIU, please get on this immediately.
Horrible. Time for the Attorney General to step in.
[[We’re governed by a nationalist strongman whose battle plan against the virus seems to be to give everyone some hydroxychloroquine and tell them to get back to work.]]
Wow- what a jerk- This fella works for whatshername? Malkin? Really?
Does anyone think it’s a coincidence that within hours of the AG announcing that HOARDING of Critical Shortage PPE that the LOSERS of the SEIU suddenly “discover” an unknown stash of N95 Masks?
From what I’ve read the Expiration Date on those masks has long come and gone. Not quite sure how sealed masks of this type have an “Expiration Date”.
It sounds to me like a typical Gov’t mandate.
Yes, and under Barr’s mandate he can send troops to take them if he wants to. He should, and pay them $.50 a piece.
It time for this Allah lying scum to be fired.
This is an absolute despicable rant without a shred of a hint of a notion of a fact. That this is published on a supposedly “Conservative” website is an indelible stain on their reputation.
Just because one of your people writes an infantile moronic column does NOT require you to publish it.
If this nasty piece is correct, why aren’t people leaving the USA,instead of sleeping on airport floors all over the world, trying to get back here?
Yes he is. An notice the scum has stopped taking responses to his lying infatile postings.
Put it on PPV and spend the profits on more PPE!
Horrible. Time for the Attorney General to step in.
How much you want to bet he doesn’t. He’s had crap tons of opportunities to prosecute law breakers and hasn’t done a darn thing. What makes us think he will act differently now?
California dreamin’? This is not as scary as long after the Deep State?
Expiration is about the elastic bands to fasten the mask. Supposedly they can be fine for years until exposed to air and light. Easily remedied by fastening another elastic cord or band. As for the SEIU, they're nothing but gangster thugs.
