we gunna have tens of thousands of unused vents sitting in warehouses for next 20 years.
What fumblethumbs at GM botched this PR opportunity?
wth?
Ass wipes
They can’t make cars
First we bailed them out
Then they tried to overcharge POTUS on ventilators
Then he had to order them to do this.
Remember the financial crash of 2008. Yeah, the one that Obama used to steal GM from the stock and bond holders and give the corporation to the union. Yeah, that one. The American taxpayer took it in the shorts when that deal was done. Now GM has to be forced by the President to make ventilators. Ford got no help. Chrysler was given to Fiat. But GM was put on life support and now they are being forced to do today what they should have gracefully done yesterday.
GM—make the damn ventilators.
How much taxpayer money did GM take in a bailout? Now they balk at helping the country when asked.
I really don’t like this. Limiting the Defense Production Act to wartime situations was a bright line limitation on the possibility of it being abused. To use it for medical reasons opens the door to Dems using that Act for all sorts of things they may deem “necessary” to “combat” things such as global warming, etc..
We can’t even make face masks, good luck with ventilators.
Leaders of the nation?
Even better when Piglosi chimes in with outrage he can tell here to STFU after just a couple days ago she was screaming for PDT use the Defense Production act.
GM just found out Barack Obama is no longer president.
Ford has sold one F-series truck every minute for the last 34 years. Except 2017 when they sold 1.5 every minute.
GM still owes us about $30 Billion that Nancy and Harry gave them BEFORE they declared bankruptcy (and it just disappeared) and then they didn’t have to pay taxes on the profits they made with all of their costs written off.
Of all the companies Trump can tell what to do and they need to do it, they are very high on the list.
