President* Trump

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Barack Obama Pummels Unnamed Donald Trump Over “Why Things Are So Screwed Up” In ‘Graduate Together’ Commencement Speech

Hmmm, I despise PINO as much as anyone, but I took Obama's words as being aimed at more fundamental problems than just one person at this moment. That would fit more with his personality of wisdom and grace rather than exploiting the grads with such partisanship.

Edit: Idk, perhaps I'm wrong. I'm seeing more than one headline making the same case. We'll see if Obama feels the need to elaborate over the next few days.

Me too, I took it as many problems in leadership with many positions of power. He's absolutely right. This isn't "just" Trump. Trump is just a lightning rod.

... According to the health-news website STAT News, Edwards has come under scrutiny for his previous ventures.

An earlier company he founded, Kaleo, was the focus of a 2018 Senate investigation after it abruptly increased the price of an opioid-overdose treatment by more than 600%. Kaleo was also criticized by Sen. Chuck Grassley in 2017 for selling an EpiPen rival product for $4,500.

A Phlow representative told Business Insider that as the CEO of Kaleo, Edwards had no say over the company's pricing decisions....

Yeah, that's sort of what I thought.....the only "phlow" in this is the money flowing into the bank account. As for being dependent on China for drugs, last time I checked there were lots of drug companies here in the US as well as in Europe. Whether they've sold out their workers, other than the salesman and women that visit doctors to push their company's drugs, I do not know. But I guess a pill in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Here's another one:
Trump administration paid huge premium for ineffective mask-cleaning machines

It sounded like a great deal: The White House coronavirus task force would buy a defense company’s new cleaning machines to allow critical protective masks to be reused up to 20 times. And at $60 million for 60 machines on April 3, the price was right.

But over just a few days, the potential cost to taxpayers exploded to $413 million, according to notes of a coronavirus task force meeting obtained by NBC News. By May 1, the Pentagon pegged the ceiling at $600 million in a justification for awarding the deal without an open bidding process or an actual contract. Even worse, scientists and nurses say the recycled masks treated by these machines begin to degrade after two or three treatments, not 20, and the company says its own recent field testing has only confirmed the integrity of the masks for four cycles of use and decontamination.

Nurses in several places across the country now say they are afraid of being at greater risk of acquiring COVID-19 while using N95 masks, which they say often don’t fit correctly after just a few spins through a cleaning system that uses vapor phase hydrogen peroxide to disinfect them.

The nurses, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retribution from their employers or the government, said they believe the machines, which are made by the Battelle Memorial Institute and have been promoted by President Donald Trump, were rushed into service as a shortcut to acquiring and manufacturing protective equipment.

“It’s a fairy tale,” said one nurse in Connecticut who works at a hospital where masks are run through the Battelle decontamination system. “It’s being done because we don’t have the policies in place to do what needs to be done, and people are going to be hurt because of it.” ...

Yeah, that "pharma bro" guy is still in jail for jacking up the price of some drug or device. If he'd kept his mouth shut, he could be grifting on this virus chance himself. I take pleasure in the fact that he knows this and cannot do anything. Take a pill , pharma bro.
