there was a forbes article on the marketing of mask, that people probably haven't seen
Editors' Pick|319,148 views|Mar 30, 2020,04:40am EDT I Spent A Day In The Coronavirus-Driven Feeding Frenzy Of N95 Mask Sellers And Buyers And This Is What I Learned ... In the interest of brevity, I'm going to summarize what I learned below and then jump into a bit more detail. Millions of N95 masks have been available throughout the U.S., Canada and the UK during the pandemic, according to brokers trying to sell them. The high price point per mask, driven by extreme demand, has contributed to an overwhelmed reaction among potential buyers, especially in the U.S. Scrutiny surrounding these deals is high because of ongoing scams and claims of price-gouging, both of which are triggering emotionally charged reactions and fear of making deals. Millions of masks are being purchased by foreign buyers and are leaving the country, according to the brokers, while the domestic need remains alarmingly high. ... By the end of the day, roughly 280 million masks from warehouses around the U.S. had been purchased by foreign buyers and were earmarked to leave the country, according to the broker and that was in one day. To his knowledge none of the masks had been purchased by buyers in the U.S. left cold - link is clean, but going to page generate url that has tracker https://www.forbes.com/sites/daviddisalvo/2020/03/30/i-spent-a-day-in-the-coronavirus-driven-feeding-frenzy-of-n95-mask-sellers-and-buyers-and-this-is-what-i-learned/ |

There's no reason to ship this stuff out of the country other than they are offering you several times the money, up front.
I hope they shove it up their asses. This is like having a pair of 2's in black jack and saying you want to split them. America first, then capitalism. |

The demonrats have been screaming for Trump to nationalize private companies and when he simply moves a bit closer to that end they scream bloody murder.
Just shows they are laying traps at every turn. |

"The implications of the Defense Production Act aren’t entirely clear, but the president is unlikely to ask Congress to impose wage or price controls on the company, Credit Suisse analyst John Walsh said in a note. Still, he said, “the negative headlines could impact 3M’s consumer business.”
The president is facing mounting pressure from governors and congressional Democrats to use the Korean War-era defense law that gives him sweeping powers to force companies to produce personal protective equipment and ventilators that are in short supply. More than 245,000 people in the U.S. have contracted the virus and more than 6,000 have died, according to Johns Hopkins University..." Not just consumer business. Engineers can and will design them out. They have just leapt from supplier of first choice to supplier of last resort.

I am not sure I even understand their retard logic. So if we stop selling them to other countries we will actually have less here? That makes perfect sense.
Currently if I buy a 6 pack of beer and give my buddy 3 bottles I am left with 3. Using their math if I buy a 6 pack but refuse to give my buddy 3 beers then I will somehow end up only have 2 beers. Yea...that makes sense. I can only assume they mean ones made in other countries would not get sent here. Who else are we getting them from, China? No one wants a mask from there right now anyway, Ill take my chances and make them here. I hope folks remember they were willing to screw America during this deal to probably turn a higher profit with non-US sales... |

Remove the word "Trump" from this story, and replace with "Cuomo."
How would the responses here change? (Regarding this hypothetical situation above, I am not making a statement, taking a position, or giving an opinion, but merely asking.) |

So how do we react if the govt orders PSA to retool and start making ventilators or some shit instead of inexpensive AR's

Unless it's something like "El Salvador has a factory that produces 250% of their mask needs. If we stop exporting then they could retaliate by not exporting to us." For so many things we are a net importer, so it could result in us cutting off our nose to spite our face. That's all I can think of. |

I've never heard a company report concerns about backlashes from other countries before. Does 3M think that they're in a diplomatic role or something? Leave that to the fuckin government. "Sorry Latin America, my gov.says they get stuff first, is what it is." There ya go. I mean, is Canada and Latin America putting America first in all this? Doubt it.

Yeah they're saying the production in Canada and Latin America is greater than USA. If Canada and Latin America stop shipping to USA then we'd have less than if we let 3m go about business as usual. I'd like to see the actual numbers of production for countries besides china. |
