3M screwed up. Big time.

[Larry Lucido]

Plus all the Scotch tape and VHS cassettes we need.

[DIRTYSECRET]

SAW IT ON TUCKER. The real question was not asked: Did the foreign companies ask for the masks FIRST?

[ocrp1982]

First, Mary Barra CEO of GM and an Obamabot, now 3M dragging their feet in responding to requests for assistance. Forcing our President to use this authority against them.
President Trump hates to have to resort to this. He really wanted those companies to step up from a sense of patriotic duty but, both companies chose to drag their feet and force his hand.

[GreyHoundSailor]

Not according to the Florida official Tucker interviewed.

[dfwgator]

Or did those companies get their marching orders from DNC Headquarters, to make Trump look bad.

They are evil, evil people.

>>3M screwed up. Big time.<<

Infuriating that they would allow this to happen. Now, lets see them get angry and kick some butt! Their reputation is harmed so I'm interested to see if any of the distributors get comeuppance.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Agree. President Trump did not want to have to use this power but he has had to now with these two companies.

Good for him.

[Jane Long]

3M TRAITORS!!

[Fiji Hill]

Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing (3M) must be run by globalists who don’t give a damn about America.

[McCarthysGhost]

I bet that China is behind all of these shortages.

from the National Observer (4/01)
In an interview with Bloomberg on Saturday, (Mark) Cuban called out 3M’s distribution model that he said could allow price gouging at the retail level and hamper hospitals’ access to the protective gear.

“3M lists all its distributors online, the ones buying and selling these things, and these distributors are making as much money as they possibly can. It’s wrong, it’s criminal,” Cuban said in the interview. “It’s operating like an illegal drug market, not a legitimate market. I get wanting to make millions of dollars, but people are dying.”

State of Florida has very tough gouging laws...let see them go after 3M for a few billion. Hello, Gov please demonstrate your badassery now.

[WildHighlander57]

PDJT unloads....

GM and 3M on notice...

[catnipman]

President Trump tried the carrot, but that didn’t work, so out comes the stick ... Note to corporations: DO NOT PISS OFF THIS PRESIDENT!

[griffin]

Last week Pence, in front of POTUS, told the whole world that 3M was making masks 24/7 and that 35 million were available for our hospitals to order NOW.

I find it hard to believe that 3M and the Pence team did not discuss that 3M primarily sells to distributors as their business model. I have a hard time understanding how Pence, and especially DJT did not nail down an understanding for product flow from 3M shipping doors, to the states. How did it escape discussion that 3M was placing no constraints on the distributors??

[eyedigress]

I am getting masks from 3M through my company starting this week.

Hmmm.

[dfwgator]

Who owns the stock in 3M?

[eyedigress]

This 3M attack is horseshit
