3M selling masks overseas.

Hangfire · Apr 3, 2020

Fox News article states that 3M is selling much needed (here) masks overseas to the highest bidder.

Don't want to sound cold and callous but IF it's true it seems like to me we should be taking care of our own here in the USA first.

That’s horrible

3M is a global company that manufactures products for companies and governments around the world. Items get manufactured elsewhere and brought into the US. Items get manufactured in the US that get sent elsewhere.

Then the same products are in turn imported back into the US and sold at a huge profit to people thinking theyre buying American-which they are albeit from a foreign country.

Agreed, if true the government needs to get involved in the situation
Nationaize their butts.

Careful with that slippery slope. Remember the government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have. 3M has ongoing contracts and obligations to meet in the US and foreign countries. Not adhering to those have consequences and reactions.

Isn’t the administration’s position that states should be handling their medical supply needs and not the feds? How can states force a company to comply if its operating legally overseas?

and wouldn’t we just make it a bidding war between states?

Medical health will be nationalized before 2030, my generation isn't buying the for profit system as the "best"

If the government can print itself $2 Trillion to give to billionaires, then it can print $1.5 Trillion a year to pay for health, that just goes RIGHT back into local American economies. Pay American's living wages, maximize resources by removing billionaires owning patents on medicines, and then the amount of tax revenue collected goes through the roof, because your spending money you print in this country, not on CHEAP CHINESE MANUFACTURED MEDICATIONS.

It is REALLY simple.

You argue you don't want socialism, I argue we have it already, but only for the wealthy. If you reverse this, and give the people medical safety nets you will see a thriving America in the next generations, fail this, and you will watch our empire crumble against the might of nations with 3RD WORLD STATUS overtaking us, most every developed nation in the world worth a **** has SOCIALIZED MEDICINE.
