Yes my Fuhrer , are you sure the gas ovens aren’t easier?

When were these contracts signed? When were the shipments put into the supply chain? One day? I doubt it.

I see no facts in these articles, just supposition.

She looks like a dozen other European Defense Ministers look like- clueless, feminine, wet behind the ears, and unintimidating.

Disclaimer: I don’t have anything constructive to add to the thread. I’m just spouting off the first thing that came to my mind. A freeper’s mind though, I might add.

Trump should tell 3M that the ‘My Pillow’ guy is now the new CEO of 3M.

Maybe Melania Trump can lead a Fiber Arts Brigade to contribute to this war effort.

They used N95 masks for another pandemic in 2014. 85 million of them. They made the decision not to restock. Things are ALWAYS more expensive and harder to get in an emergency. Planning is important. Cuomo decided to NOT buy respirators and use death panels instead. Was that in 2015? Ray Nagin had an emergency evac plan for Hurricane Katrina, and delayed the implementation until the busses were underwater, and the drivers at their own safe places. Those things need managers, not spineless politicians.

“Defense production act.”

DPA is a common acronym — like FBI. Not really jargon.

“Navarro was fantastic today at the WH presser!”

He WAS great. And I liked how Mnuchin went to the podium loaded for bear. The first “gotcha” question from a press critter and Mnuchin was ready to rip off the guy’s/gal’s head. That’s how all of them need to be.

3M = Mingguang Mining and Manufacturing?

The packaging for the 3M masks that I have on hand say they are made in the USA from “globally sourced” materials.

3M knew full well what was going on through their supply chains. Could and should have stopped it themselves, or via the government.

And it isn’t a matter of them buying right then, but that the foreign companies were paying cash. Yes, you could look to the state and hospital purchasing moving to cash, but that would be a big, big move.

3M is indeed responsible.

Look at the CEO’s interview with Maria B. He uses all kinds of weasel words talking about making sure they are getting the masks to where they are needed—but never says in the US.

Here’s lawyered up disinformation from them making it sound as if they were doing the opposite of what they were doing: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/3ms-collaboration-covid-19-supply-challenges-price-gouging-mike-roman-1e/?trackingId=%2FGfj2fhPTC%2By4swVziD6Nw%3D%3D

3M = Minnesota Mining and manufacturing. Appears that disgraceful globalist filth is running it now.

Back in the early 1990's I was told by an insider from the Mpls/StP metroplex that 3M corporate and its board were not just bad but evil. They were muscling all the elected officials and city bureaucrats to comform to PC from unlimited third-world immigration to promoting the LGBTQ (though the term was not the same) agenda. They also reshaped the public school systems with activist board members, etc.

The leftward-drifting colleges and mainstream churches were in on it too, but the fact was that nobody "important" in the twin cities so much as farted without the brave new 3M giving them permission. It broke his heart to say this about 3M, because his family had been part of it back in the days before the left co-opted them.
