The Trump administration paid a bankrupt company with zero employees $55 million for N95 masks, which it's never manufactured

FEMA cancels controversial $55 million contract to a company that's never manufactured N95 masks after it failed to deliver the order

FEMA told Insider it "does not enter into contracts unless it has reason to believe they will be successfully executed."

I am pretty sure that Trumpsters were bleating on about Obama's every mistake but this time he got nothing... Is this because they said they would get ready on the day?

This seems to be the Trump WH, don't prepare and then panic... Chuck money at unvetted private businesses...

Why did Puerto Rico award a $300 million contract to a tiny Montana company?

Rebuilding Puerto Rico’s electricity system after Hurricane Maria will be a massive task, but one of America’s smallest utility companies has been chosen to do it. As The Washington Post reported on Monday, the largest government contract awarded so far in the relief effort has gone to Whitefish...

This is all down to being not prepared and cutting budgets for areas that get US prepared. You can't create a fire dept after the fire has started, you will save money by not having one until you have a fire..

Cornavirus is a case of having no Fire Department

A lot of companies are manufacturing these masks and other PPE that they have never produced before. And with the shortage of N95 masks along with the materials need to manufacture the masks the price has gone up. At one point the masks where over $7 dollars.

Some people call that profiteering but I see it as the nature course of economics

Scarcity of masks result in rising prices which lures new producers into the market

thats not an evil thing at all

Sorry, price gouging over dead bodies is an evil thing.

Yep. Supply and demand govern price.

The usual response:

"Then, fuck you. Get your masks elsewhere. I don't have to go out of my way and spend my own money to get masks only to sell them to you for cost. What's my incentive?"

Not sure of the validity of this story, having said that if true - remember YOU want this same government to control our healthcare. Surely you do not believe Trump himself had anything to do with this. Obviously the President doesn't do these things, it is handled by much much much much lower bureaucrats. The same bureaucrats regardless of who is President.

Not in the real world where people live free

The price always goes down after people over produce

I am appalled by the economic ignorance of many liberals

So is this a legit scandal or made up Democrat fake news? Or do we know yet.

That mouse still in your pocket? If you do a search there are many other stories on this issue. And you may act accordingly. Hard to put blame on a total crook of a president and crew who objects to oversight on distribution of COVID 19 funds.

 

[Meister]

Usually when the government buys anything....they pay a premium because they are the government. sad, but true

You degenerates seem to know lots of math....tell us what Democrats spend on their 21st century slaves....their pet humans....their core constituency....their WETBACKS?

That's amazing. Nobody said anything even remotely close to anything about race, and then there you go with the same stupid nonsense that's clearly always on your mind.

 

[okfine]

Notice Dr Love gave me a thumbs down on my post asking if the story was legit.

Clearly he is one of those fools who'll automatically believe anything he's told.

Sad

Seems that you made up your mind before you knew one fucking word about it.

Like there were many stories about Elon Musk not giving the respirators he promised when HE ACTUALLY DID?

Led of course by CNN among others who subsequently blamed him for their patently FALSE REPORTING.

You're an idiot.

I did some research on the company Panthera Worldwide. I saw where FEMA has a contract with them for the amount stated.
But, I don't see anything at the Panthera website of doing any business whatsoever.
Used a few business sites and came up with another Panthera Worldwide website and got this Panthera - Elite Training and Mission Support.
Not sure...and it's very confusing, but could be two entirely different companies, one being bankrupt and dead.

I searched for James Punelli and Erik Prince. Saw some chatter about those two guys. ???

www.fark.com

Eric Prince is the scumbag who founded Blackwater IIRC

Hey we agree! He is a total scumbag.

Of course we do. If it's a fact, it's a fact. It is a fact that eric prince is a world class scumbag.

"The Trump administration has awarded a $55 million contract for N95 masks to a company with no experience producing medical supplies and whose parent company filed for bankruptcy protection last year.

"The Federal Emergency Management Agency told Insider that the company, Panthera, is scheduled to deliver the masks on April 23.

"Former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told The Washington Post that something was 'amiss' about this order."

The OP wanted to talk about politicians flushing taxpayer cash down the shitter....right?
What’s worse...blowing $55 million or forcing taxpayers to pay wetbacks $100 billion per year to fuck their country up?
Do you wonder why you people have ZERO credibility?

Raising price to reflect increased price in materials is not price gouging.

You can't help it, can you?
