3M is delivering 55 Mil masks / month to the fed.

Take a step back and look at the facts. The fed is paying a company that has no history of distributing/manufacturing medical equipment and no employees 7X what they are paying 3M. They are paying this company $55 million. The parent company is $50 million in debt. The only unknown in that is who are the creditors. That's how this scheme works. They take this bill, pay the creditors, then say they are delivering on the deal. Then there is some delay. Then a shipping delay. Then another. Eventually poof everything is gone. News cycle has already moved on to the next major coverup. Money funneled directly into someone's pocket from the government and the taxpayers are on the hook.

They are supposed to have the masks delivered by April 23rd. It's amazing to think a company with no experience in this realm can have the proper quality of these masks ensured and produced in such a staggeringly short time. Everything about that smells rotten.
Yes, it smells rotten, but it's likely because somebody is influence peddling and making a cut off masks in the market place, not because Panthera is trying to manufacturer masks (or planning on not deliverying). It's sketchy and normal corruption with federal contracts, likely nothing to do with Trump. It's unfortunately standard operating procedure for a lot of these federal contracts, where who you know and your knowledge in navigating the process is more important than actual subject matter expertise or performance ability. It's the same reason the Obamacare rollout was such a cluster 17. THey had a very complicated project, put themselves behind the eightball by assuming the states were going to do it, and really needed to hire the best contractor available. Of course they didn't do that but instead chose to enrich people that were politically connected. SOP.
