  Medical Supplies - Please Help Me Understand the Rationale About States Bidding Against Each Other

  by RubaDub in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i really don't understand why states have to bid against each other for essential items such as medical supplies.

  when you get into bidding wars, the consumers are the ones who lose.. put 50 people in an auction for a product and the one who wins is the manufacturer, not the ones purchasing.. my wife works for a multi-national corporation.

  if she is importing or exporting goods, she doesn't determine what the costs will be; this is already determined through the corporate offices that negotiate worldwide movement of products.

  The good thing about driving up the price of masks and other medical supplies is it will create incentives for current manufacturers to produce more and for other factories to retool to produce medical supplies. This might produce a glut that will result in lower prices and abundant supplies when the next wave of corona hits in October

  According to the letter April 1 st 2020 is that gongs can meet together and enjoy the program , so depending on your Cong you might have to sit in a stuffy hall and be bored to tears.

  i was watching the local news in the background and i heard a guy talking about 3m and how florida was getting screwed.

  i didn't hear the whole report.. later, i was switching through the channels and i saw the same guy talking to tucker carlson (fox news).

  come to find out he is the federal cdc equivalent at the state level.

  The top brass at 3M (including CEO Roman) should be in prison. Imagine how many lives have been lost due to greed. DISGUSTING.

  Rub a Dub

  Lives will be saved due to greed.

  American lives will be lost but the country that bought the masks will save their citizens.

  When this is over...

  what will the world be like once this pandemic is over?

  the world has been through this before, in the form of the bubonic plague and it left changes to life still felt today, especially in regards to the economic system.

  so many people dying meant a smaller working class that meant their skills and labour was suddenly more valuable which in turn raised wages.

  I think we will be doing more business locally. Globalization as we know it might be over. We might end up with different global trading partners. I think life will be simpler than it was as the good times might not come back.

  The price of food will go up. There is not much surplus in the world and there are already signs that this will be a difficult year for agriculture.

  as the jws regroup after being in isolation it would be an ideal time to say the last days started in 2014. the territory will be ripe with people whose lives have been turned upside down.

  Where I live we are supposed to watch the memorial. We have zoom. One of my friends live in a different part of the country and they are having publishers(some of them elderly) going out and about buying the emblems to celebrate the memorial at home by themselves.

  They are only testing people with extreme symptoms so you probably know someone who had it. If you’ve had cold like symptoms in the last 2 months you might have had it yourself but never got tested.
