With everything as it is this thread could grow to be long and la race to the bottom. The lack of any value for American lives deserves the light of day. After Considering $1 Billion Price Tag for Ventilators, White House Has Second Thoughts "The White House had been preparing to reveal on Wednesday a joint venture between General Motors and Ventec Life Systems that would allow for the production of as many as 80,000 desperately needed ventilators to respond to an escalating pandemic when word suddenly came down that the announcement was off. The decision to cancel the announcement, government officials say, came after the Federal Emergency Management Agency said it needed more time to assess whether the estimated cost was prohibitive. That price tag was more than $1 billion, with several hundred million dollars to be paid upfront to General Motors to retool a car parts plant in Kokomo, Ind., where the ventilators would be made with Ventec’s technology." 10 days use to save a life, three saves per month, 12 months use is 2.88 million American lives saved. Not worth $1 billion for trump. Edited March 27, 2020 by Phil1111 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryoder 1,362 #4 March 27, 2020 $500B slush fund for Trump to deliver to corporations he likes: Good. 1/500 of that amount for ventilators to save lives: Bad. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well Trump called in to Hannity to say that he just doesn't believe that these ventilators are needed. On top of that he thinks buying them is maybe a bit too complicated.

Put forth an opponent that can get more electoral votes than he can. I don't think that a military coup would be the least treasonist way to proceed though. Not even counting how many lives would be lost. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The legislative branch has failed to impeach. The executive branch has failed to invoke the 25th amendment. So I must agree with you on the remaining option.

Come to think of it, 9/11 only killed about 3,000 Americans. The USA has spent several trillions of dollars and set in motion events that have probably killed millions. All in the name of taking revenge upon the Muslim world for daring to want to choose their own leaders without foreign interference. Life is cheap.

Jerry Baumchen Trump and his administration is going to turn this event into the worst it can be in the USA. There will be third world countries hit harder, but the most advanced country in the world, where the most advanced tech comes from, with all the advantages of wealth and resources is going to allow it's clown car of a government to fumble the ball and turn it over.
