That is one of the most infuriating aspects of his administration’s bungled response.and part of the reason why there are bidding wars between the states to get needed PPE and ventilators.
No shit. I spent 20 years in the military, and I know the value of a central chain of command. If Trump had kept it in place, they would have been able to buy at normal prices the materials needed and send to the states needing them the most. Instead? There is zero central chain of command, and governors are in bidding wars to get PPE from any where they can, which means that the price gougers can start bidding wars to make a whole bunch of money on this crisis.
Yesterday, on Inside Edition, they interviewed a lady who had a check for over 3 million that she had to take to a McDonald's parking lot several towns away to meet a guy to get masks. She said that she had to speed over there quick because if she didn't, someone else would buy them.
