1/Everyone should be clear why the president has NOT been willing to invoke Defense Production Act to direct manufacture of PPE. It’s the same reason we didn’t accept tests early on from WHO: to do so would undercut the ability of someone to market a product in the private sector

2/ Private over public investment is a like religion to some people; they’re literally willing to see people die rather than undercut the dominance of the market. A healthy society is a balance of both. Private is good for innovation but public is necessary for long-term security

3/ It’s important that we all understand these issues because when we rebuild on the other side of this – and we WILL rebuild - we need to not be hoodwinked by people who would build the new house on the same old rotten foundations.

Our current administration has built it’s house upon sand... “The rain came-the floods came- and the winds beat on that house- and it fell-and great was its fall.” I stand with Marianne Williamson. It is time to rebuild a new house.

what are you talking about? You started out on one tack and then moved to something entirely non-related. Sort of like your ill prepared campaign. What was the message? Love? And now, look at you.

#NormalizeIndependence campaign, and The Free Market of Independents Party would welcome and appreciate the help of anyone discouraged by our corrupt parties. As a policy free party we are a platform for those who wish to run on their own beliefs, and not be defined by the system

It seems like we could have completely kicked at least one cancer by now if we had most scientists working *together* on cures vs. smaller groups of scientists working on pharmaceuticals to lessen a disease's impact. To your point, innovation is more difficult in large groups.
