Trump Invokes Defense Production Act by Taking Control of 3M Manufacturing

Probably not! So what are you suggesting that people get capped on what they can earn? In your opinion every one wins a trophy?

You are avoiding the question, please provide what your solution is!

Yeah…kinda like how the government has been stepping in and taking N95 masks from people who have been hoarding and stockpiling them. So it’s ok to do that with N95s but not with money? Why? People need money just as much as they need N95s.

Government has been hoarding masks? Ok where in your warped logic did you come up with that accusation?

My solution? Simple. The government pays for healthcare and no one goes bankrupt paying for healthcare that they need.

Maybe we can start paying for that with the money from a few less wars and go from there. Taxing the shit out of billionaires would also help. Eliminating corporate welfare would help too.

No - people have been hoarding masks and the government has been taking them. It’s ok to seize and redistribute N95s but not money?

Yeah that is called socialism and shit load of taxes. Sorry but I just explained this to you. You can’t have affordable health care until you address the cost issue first, something your messiah failed to do with the failed ACA. Eliminating free market healthcare and nationalising it will also lower the quality of service available to citizens.

No arguments from me on that one! That we can agree on!

Nope we will never agree on that one! It’s immoral and it’s been tried before and only increases the likelihood of wealth flight to other countries.

This I can also agree with as well. The only thing I would argue for is lowering corporate tax rate but eliminate loop holes for deductions.

No it is not ok to seize money! Are you fking insane? Or are you ready to join the Bolshevik revolution? Also if we didn’t outsource to China such as what 3M did this wouldn’t even be an issue.

Uhhh…no it’s not. It may be the only way to keep Capitalismfrom eating itself…

Explain your logic on this one. So you are saying it’s not ok to seize and redistribute money but it’s totally fine to seize and redistribute privately owned property?

It’s the exact same thing. N95s are worth more than their weight in gold right now and the government has decided to take them and give them away.

If you support this then you support the redistribution of wealth.

Dude please learn to use the quotation feature here for context, I have no idea what the fk you are talking about!

No it is not the same thing! During times of crisis is the only time where government takes over a company for national security interests. When was the last time the US government seized a company? Also do you even know why this happened to 3M in the first place? Do you actually know the specifics ?

I’m talking about the government taking N95s from citizens who have purchased and hoarded them.

3M has been nationalized. Good. So should all of the other companies that make what we need.

Dude that is dumbest thing I heard you say so far here! Not to mention retarded! What part of national emergency are you not getting ?

BTW how are you and your family holding up?

Wealth inequality is also a growing national emergency.

First of all 3M being nationalised is temporary. Once this crisis is over they will be returned.

Also what you are suggesting is communism and that will never work.

Yeah well it’s going to get worse if your side keeps advocating for open borders.

You still haven’t addressed the government seizing private property from citizens and redistributing said property to those in need.

I think I did. You need to read and stop being obtuse.

Do you agree that we can find some common ground on things we can agree on?

Perhaps there is some common ground on a very few issues, but Trump isn’t the guy who is going to bring this country together.

Also - you should admit that you support socialism when it’s convenient.
