We have the money. We have the industry. We have the expertise. But ideal capitalism wants government to be prevented from doing anything useful for society. And the private sector will never find profit in "being prepared to build pop-up hospitals", so it can't do it either.

Isn't it odd how the same people who badmouth "Big meddling European-style socialist Gov't" - run to Gov't for help if business is horrible for 2 weeks & looks like it might stay that way for awhile? They hate "Gov't HANDOUTS" & entitlements ...till THEY want 'em.
