Trump just punched back, invoking the Defense Production Act to require General Motors to produce the ventilators, like it or not. That's it. I am trading my GM Canyon in on a Ford. We now lead the world in COVOID-19 cases, partly as a result of Trump's zigzagging, lying, and stalling on coming up with real responses to the virus. MAGA. Hospital ventilators are not simple devices. If GM doesn't buy the technology and dies and so forth, I wonder how quickly the auto company can produce them in numbers. Take a chill pill. Or maybe you've already taken too many? First of all, it's not like GM or Ford or Tesla has to start from scratch. The POTUS under the Defense Production Act can order the design drawings, manufacturing procedures, bills of material with sources from any current manufacturer to be given to GM, Ford or Tesla. What the auto manufacturers bring to the table is manufacturing capacity. Second, I am surprised to see you dumping on the Donald in this case. It was GM (big business, remember?) who was trying to extort and take advantage of a national crisis. Extortion is the byword of Trump. Have we spent $100 million yet on his golfing weekends? It's going to take GM and anyone else some time...weeks, months? to start producing reliable ventilators. Maybe we'll need them. Hopefully we won't. But knowledge has beengained about how to be prepared and there's talk that even if thiscycle of covid-19 dies down, it may be back again ... or somethinglike it.You are treating this as if it's business as usual. It's not.This is a national emergency the likes of which none of us haveseen in our life time.Extraordinary measures are in order.Two days ago the Dems were accusingTrump of not fully invoking the Defense Act. He wascriticized of relying onthe promises of GM, Ford and Tesla. But now that GM is playinggames and he fully invokes the Defense Act, he's now beingcriticized by the same people for doing it.If there's anythingthat can be used to dump on Trump you and your pals will take fulladvantage of it.It's a little disgusting under the circumstances.-- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG.https://www.avg.com
