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

Unfortunately there was a recent culling of trolls from that other forum and it appears some of them have migrated over here.

Don’t let them drag you into the gutter. They live there and that’s their natural habitat.

They haven’t seized any private property and redistributed it.

No, they are being paid for and delivered to the healthcare workers that are most in danger treating CCCV patients.

That is what federal disaster relief is all about, supporting the states when the states are overwhelmed in a disaster.

Maybe you are right maybe you are wrong! Time will tell, but I don’t see your side taking the White House in this election cycle so the likely outcome of Trump winning re-election is the most probable.

Dude don’t ruin this discussion with another false equivalency on your part. I don’t support socialism in any form. And you don’t know anything about me to even make that claim.

Just so you know, currently I am not permitted to leave here and have been separated from my family going on 53 days. So your little diatribe of not suffering is bullshit too. Everyone is dealing with this virus crisis.

Are you stuck in HK Doc?

The icon in the upper right hand corner.

Yes! It sucks! Was fighting with immigration today and still no answers! I have a 17 month son missing me!

Are you trying to get back to the US? The embassy should be able to get you home if you are.

I have an appointment on Wednesday there. They are not permitting flights going out right now! Only government entities are allowed to fly. This is pretty insane.

Well from previous experience I know that when civilians needed to be evacuated in the past for various reasons they have been able to get on DOD or DOS flights so keep your chin up, it’ll probably work out to your favor with a little patience.

When you hit reply hit the cartoon text box in the upper left, it makes it a lot easier to follow, it’s just to the left of the B.

I wish I had that connect, but yeah I am staying vigilant about things right now. Thankful the family is safe and other than not having answers I am still in a good frame of mind. Thanks for the uplift I appreciate it.

Appreciate the assistance, but I’m not seeing that…perhaps because I’m not using the app.

Look right above the L when you type.

I’m not using any app’s either just my tablet or desktop. I didn’t even know there was an app.

Android doesn’t give me that editor…

Figured it out…the full editor menu doesn’t appear without a prompt.

Thanks again for your help.

Hey, I’m a tech retard so I’ve had a lot of help over the years too.

Technically, it’s called “War Communism”, frequently practiced with considerable success - if history is any guide.

It is exactly what nationalizing 3M’s production would represent.

Please note - this is not an endorsement of communism.

Not by anyone with an actual dictionary. If anything it’s economic fascism.

The gov’t isn’t seizing companies and nationalizing the workforce.

There was talk of nationalizing 3Ms output…I will note that the idiocy is being reconsidered.

The national workforce in on mandated furlough.

Please don’t insist that I accommodate your refusal to accept what is.
