Trump out bidding States for medical supplies

[Augustine_]

Trump is just running things like a crime boss. It's not new.

Nothing wrong with the style as long as it's not criminal. We needed a tough guy in that job after all the weak aces that had come before him.

Collapses into something better and stronger, so hang in there.

During the press conference, the Gov of MA phoned in to ask why their State keeps getting outbid for medical supplies by the federal government. First Trump tells the States to quit whining & buy their own supplies & then out bids them for these suppliers.

This seems to imply a couple of things.

Are manufacturers putting their supplies to a bidding war? Isn't this illegal? Using a crisis to price gouge?

Does the feds know that they are outbidding the States

Where is the feds sending these supplies

WE need to audit these manufacturers to see where their output is going.

RealDave- our bloated government is so fucked up they are bidding against each other for the same products driving up the prices!!!

Also RealDave- we should hold the manufacturers responsible for the government failure.

Me- RealDave is a fucking retard.

Like what? If the US collapses what exactly do you think it will look like that could be better or stronger?

 

[Desperado]

Just curious, isn't the fed going to supply the states with the supplies?

That is why the federal government should take the lead in this. So we don't have states and the federal government working at cross-purposes. Trump told the states to go jump in the lake when they requested assistance.

He said no such thing you moron.

BTW- if the government is this fucked up, and it is. Do you still believe in socialism?

Just another fuck up in the response from the administration.

Actually he did.
“Governors are supposed to be doing a lot of this work, and they are doing a lot of this work,” Trump said. “The Federal government is not supposed to be out there buying vast amounts of items and then shipping. You know, we’re not a shipping clerk.”

Are they? Which States?

Can't say... The left is in the room. You know how they are. All I can say is MAGA. LOL.

Where do you think the chaos and anarchy was coming from ?? Wup, done said to much.

Ok, just saying that if we can get this nation back to what it's original intent was (minus a few past problems that were created long ago by men who thought they could enslave other men), then we would be much better off, and much stronger afterwards. Have you not been on the Trump train ?? Have you not seen the attacks when he tried to make something better or better again in this country ?? Have you not seen the rabid responses to anything he has done, even when it helped to bring back jobs, helped the military, end long deployments, bring back manufacturing, lower unemployment rates, deal with rogue powers, create better trade deals, eliminate bad ones, right to try, stabilize job markets, speak out against heinous acts, expose corruption, and on and on and on and on it goes ???? You know I can't believe you asked me this question really.

WE need to audit these manufacturers to see where their output is going.

The federal government should have been buying medical supplies and then coordinating and distributing with the states. This would avoid bidding wars as well as allowing poorer states to get their hands on some product so they aren't outbid by the more well off who will just buy the company out of stock.

Had the buyers been communicating a bidding war would never have happened...

You want the 50 states to coordinate the purchasing of medical equipment among themselves with the manufactures? Do you realize what an obvious mess that would be? The federal government should be doing this is a simple matter of efficiency but we don't appear to have a federal government capable of doing that right now.

Who says that the feds weren't biding in leu of attaining those products for the poorer states who needed those products, and yet would have been out bidded by the richer states which prompted the actions of the fed ???

Who says they were? Just the same what is the purpose for the federal government to bid against a state? They shouldn't be competing against each other at all. The federal government if it weren't panic reacting would have already been playing a leadership role as opposed to playing catch up because you know who gave one of many bad answers at a press conference and got called out.

Wingnuts always say TDS when they don't have a response.

Why would the federal government bid against a state when the president told them to procure their own equipment?

Depends on the overall states response I'm guessing.

The states response was to go buy some equipment because the president told them the feds aren't going to do it. The federal government should have coordinated this from the beginning.
