KTLA ^ | 05/09/2020

The scale of the contract with Bear Mountain Development Co. LLC came to light Friday when state officials, pressed by The Times, confirmed details of the deal, which is one of the largest made by California in its scramble for protective equipment. Former Alabama Atty. Gen. Troy King is listed on Bear Mountain’s formation record as president of the Montgomery, Ala., company.

Under one of its three contracts with California, Bear Mountain was supposed to deliver 400 million three-ply surgical masks and 200 million face shields, according to purchase order records the state provided to The Times.

I know that everyone including home sewers are having massive supply chain problems now. The supplies are all coming in late.

In all of this I have not seen one instance of an entity offering to ay home sewers. They ask for donations in unlimited amounts but nobody offers to pay. I wonder what would happen if they did until this was rectified?

Isn’t Warren Buffet a big investor in the company that got the contract?

Maybe they’re being delivered on a slow boat from China?

Probably so. The aluminum nose pieces and elastic are both going to come from China.

Oh well, there’s still that billion dollar contract with that Chinese company BYD to make the N95 (as yet uncertified) masks in China at about $3.30 each (more than I paid for some 3M masks a couple of months ago).

Last I heard the N95 masks have yet to be delivered. Some of the surgical masks have been delivered and are being checked for standards. California paid a lot of money up front to this Chinese electric auto manufacturer.

Shocking that KTLA would report anything negative against Gavin Newsom. It must really be bad.

I looked it up. BYD, a Chinese electric car company, signed a contract for 200 million masks per month, even though they had never produced masks before. Warren Buffet bought a 26% stake in the company in 2008.
