Apparently, after promising to tool up to produce ventilators, GM started demanding excessive up front money, jacking the price per ventilator up and producing less than was originally promised. 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. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

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. |

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. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

Maybe we'll need them. Hopefully we won't.

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 have seen in our life time. Extraordinary measures are in order. Two days ago the Dems were accusing Trump of not fully invoking the Defense Act. He was criticized of relying on the promises of GM, Ford and Tesla. But now that GM is playing games and he fully invokes the Defense Act, he's now being criticized by the same people for doing it. If there's anything that can be used to dump on Trump you and your pals will take full advantage of it. It's a little disgusting under the circumstances. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

Or the people who make CPAC machines for that matter Toyota or Honda could probably do it but I am not sure they fall under the Defense Production Act. Maybe the US plants do. The key isn't a need to re-invent the wheel. The key is manufacturing capacity and space to do it, something the auto manufacturers have. Issue here is that GM, Ford and Tesla offered without being asked or directed to by invoking the act. GM apparently reneged somewhat, lowering how many they could build and upping the price. Remains to be seen what Ford and Tesla does. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |
