Nearly 3,000 ventilators costing taxpayers for $12 million were sold for only $24,600 on January 24th.
That was what jumped out at me as well.
Good Gosh.
I am guessing that company making the ventilators were big Democrat donors. A big money-laundering scheme.
The medical-industrial criminal complex made a taxpayer-dollar killing.
That’s all that matters.
Before Covid, NYC hospitals quietly sold off, “lost”, and somehow rid themselves of equipment to the point of being critically (if not criminally)short of supply. Thus the scramble for ventilators and maks and gloves and such when the nation locked itself down over Covid19.
...And now they’re selling off their stocks of such things—again!—for barely two pennies on the dollar???
Still better than Biden is doing with the economy.
How much for the hospital ship we sent there they refused to use?
So they paid about 4k each and sold them for $8 and change. Nice racket for some connected donor I bet.
Of course. Now many hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars was wasted by Democrat corruption around the US.
Once again because of scumbag grafters like deblowjob the tax payers pay the price, Its not their money! Meanwhile where is the 850 mill his wife stole for her mental health initiative that never was?
Sweet Jesus!
How many hospitals in poor countries would be thrilled to pay only $500 for a ventilator?
Heck, I wouldn’t mind some N95 masks for allergy season or working in my shop. Face shields too, for certain work!
Ain’t covid money wonderful? Nobody cares.
Correction: nobody in government or the media cares and taxpayers don’t count.
I heard they had Vinny selling them out of the back of his 1964 Pontiac Bonneville.
It had enough trunk room for all of the ventilators.
Color me so not surprised. The cronies of the politicos got well paid and the taxpayers got screwed and tattooed.
Sounds like a business owner I know. He purchased 30,000 N95 masks for his production workers and a little over a year ago he realized the pandemic was winding down and his employees stopped wearing the masks. So he tried selling the 20,000 remaining masks for $10/box (10 masks / box) but the best offer he received was $5/box, which he refused. Fast forward to today he still has 20,000 masks and asking $3/box but best offer he can get now is $2/box.
Bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
It’s someone else’s money, so who cares? /s
Reads like a Storage War find.
The “one” thing Dems excel at - wasting taxpayer money...and inciting racism and violence and perversion and other moral and legal corruptions...
Talking about dems and bad things is like eating a Lays Potato Chip - hard to stop at just one😎
