This should not be happening. It’s the shadow side of American capitalism, propped up by government literally at the expense of people’s lives. Shame on those who perpetuate this travesty at such a time as this. cnbc.com/2020/04/09/why-stat…

States are bidding against each other and the federal government for important medical supplies —...

Outrageous... A $3,000 ventilator before the pandemic ...now costs $50,000. This takes profits before people to the next level.

Profits are being made off human lives, greed has had its way too long. Humanitarian acts going forward, starting now, we must stand for nothing less. The games for greed have been played out. Game over 🙏🌎🙏

This is the abuse of a system. Why are all systems built on the premise that all people are good - I’d assume that all people are bad and build the system to prevent abuse.

This is outrageous ... Trump and Pence should go to prison ... Unfortunately ... they won't ... but they should ... Thousands will have died because of them ... What they've done is immoral and disgusting ...

Are we being informed or is this bragging? A display of dominance. It is odd how it turned into a bidding market that provides the best price for the seller. @MrSpocksEars

You know, Marianne. In my feed today I see nurses sobbing over the stress they are enduring during their shifts. Doctors who are living in RVs so they don't infect their families as they work brutal hours in the ERs of the front lines in this. /1
