Post 27:

“ The feds did regulate the production of autos,”

Now, for more facts to educate you:

“ On January 1, 1942, all sales of cars, as well as the delivery of cars to customers who had previously contracted for them, were frozen by the government’s Office of Production Management. As a temporary measure, local rationing boards could issue permits allowing persons who had contracted for cars before January 1st to secure delivery.

Representatives from the auto industry formed the Automotive Council for War Production in April 1942, to facilitate the sharing of resources, expertise, and manpower in defense production contracting.“

Edsel Ford remained the head of Ford. GM’s William S. Knudsen served as head of U.S. wartime production for President Franklin Roosevelt. Roosevelt didn’t serve on the board of GM.

We need to do something similar with ventilators, and then store the excess ventilators in a warehouse, ready for the next pandemic, because this is going to happen again.

““ The feds did regulate the production of autos,””

I can read, but that wasn’t what you stated, which I still can’t find (You stated: “I wrote that auto production was halted by order of the feds”).

If you can’t even quote yourself and lie about what you just wrote, why should I believe a damn thing you say about anything.
