    The AP tallied more than $7 billion in purchases by states this spring for personal protective equipment and high-demand medical devices such as ventilators and infrared thermometers, as the COVID-19 pandemic's spread caused chaos.http://apne.ws/TTDBCQk

        In that same time period, Amazon probably spent $21 billion dollars on cardboard boxes and shipping label printer ink

        Trump forced states to compete for PPE like Hunger Games. Max Kennedy explained the disastrous "procurement" led by Jared Kushner. They made volunteers sign NDAs & had multiple TVs playing Fox News. The team purchased not one n95 mask. #TotallyUnderControl https://www.vulture.com/amp/2020/10/totally-under-control-clip-max-kennedy-on-covid-19-response.html …

        It matters not the severity of the initial situation, good old AMERICAN-style capitalism prevailed and showed the world just how fucking stupid is that money-grubbing philosophy. The one with the most money wins. There is no loyalty to the common good for ALL Americans. Shameful!
