Trump should threaten to remove their patents if they fight it.

It is stupid to think that some government bureaucrat can decide what products have to be made in the USA and that somehow makes more products available.

Only idiots would want our government to make those kind of supply decisions.

3M is making masks in the USA AND in foreign plants. You want to say they can't bring in their production from these foreign plants now???

As far as the chemicals that go into medicine the solution to that lies in our government regulations and our tort environment. Fix that.

None of the big talkers here and in DC are calling for fixing our structural administrative laws and product liability laws that prevent investments in America.

You people want face masks only from the USA and you expect that US manufacturers will have on hand enough for some pandemic that suddenly appears?

Of course they do. Their scummy business model is to scam the American people and healthcare system under the guise of muh research while they shovel billions into advertising.

AAM claims that signing the ‘Buy American’ executive order during the coronavirus crisis will harm efforts to provide doctors and hospitals with the equipment and medicines they need to stop the spread of COVID-19. The executive order would push deregulatory measures for pharmaceutical companies that manufacture their products in the United States and would encourage government agencies to purchase only American-made medical supplies.

I'd like to know what logic in hell would make anyone want to take Trump's side on this

If we are in fact lacking in supplies and other countries can provide them to us then why wouldn't we buy from all available sources.

I can see waiting until the American supplies are depleted.

National security interests trump business interests. Sorry. China is a national security risk and giving them access and control of our health system is an even greater national security risk.

I know you're willing to sell your soul and the lives of others for your business, but I'm willing to let you crash and burn for my own life and the lives of others.


I hope you go bankrupt and lose your business if it's in the interests of preserving the security of our country.

Exactly - like - as a customer, the US determines the type of service it needs and to what level.

And if the US determines a certain percentage of US drug consumption must be domestically produced, they can either help fulfill that requirement, or someone else gladly will.

So the lopsided global economic strategy that we common folks have been screaming for years in not in the best interest for America is the same economic strategy these Corporatist want to preserve? After this last shite show? I'm not against global trade but when you allow the Swamp Corporatocracy to literally put our country at risk with greed fueled trade deals we the people have to demand it stop. Why would we think anything else from these greedy rat bastards.

I'm okay with that. You're a sellout and leach off the oppressive communist nation of China for your cheap labor because you're an immoral piece of shite.


Xi loves your business IB, it lets him buy new military equipment and cameras to install all over the country to kidnap and murder dissenters. I bet these things don't show up on your bottom line though.

frick you and frick China.

Screw you again.

If I could make the stuff I buy in China I would but as it is your government that you so want to grow has made idiotic regulations that protect no one but their friends that prevents me from making the input we import.

Have you ever employed a single person?
