    BREAKING: President Trump Invokes Defense Production Act

    People trying to politicize this moment are wrong. This is a time for us to work together. As far as I can tell the US has been dealing with this better than other countries, in large part due to Trump and his administration.

    Everything the previous congresses have passed and what the federal government and the military has available is going to be tapped by Trump to go with his innovations.

    You're going to be exposed despite any misery the government can inflict on us. That's just the reality.

    No disagreement. imo the question is should the government stay out of it and let Darwin run wild full force, or should there be government measures (misery) that throttles down Darwin with more people surviving.

    It's going to be what it's going to be, and there will never be an accurate answer, as both methods cannot be run at the same time for comparison, and the same conditions will never exist again for a future comparison.

    Then again, if the best answer is let Darwin run wild, what justification is there for any medicine or any kind of healthcare at all? Should nature be allowed to cull the weak for the benefit of the strong (rhetorical)? idk

    It will.
    We don't have the ability to allow or disallow.

    Giving someone credit for the work they have done is not what I would call politicization.

    And without that I bet we'd all be dead......................

    And thankfully they took a full review, found the weak spots and corrected and we have the best team one could imagine running the task force.

    No, the White House didn’t ‘dissolve’ its pandemic response office. I was there.

    It has been alleged by multiple officials of the Obama administration, including in The Post, that the president and his then-national security adviser, John Bolton, “dissolved the office” at the White House in charge of pandemic preparedness. Because I led the very directorate assigned that mission, the counterproliferation and biodefense office, for a year and then handed it off to another official who still holds the post, I know the charge is specious.

    …

    It is true that the Trump administration has seen fit to shrink the NSC staff. But the bloat that occurred under the previous administration clearly needed a correction. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, congressional oversight committees and members of the Obama administration itself all agreed the NSC was too large and too operationally focused (a departure from its traditional role coordinating executive branch activity). As The Post reported in 2015, from the Clinton administration to the Obama administration’s second term, the NSC’s staff “had quadrupled in size, to nearly 400 people.” That is why Trump began streamlining the NSC staff in 2017.

    The reduction of force in the NSC has continued since I departed the White House. But it has left the biodefense staff unaffected[.]

    Uh, ya.

    If there was any room for doubt that we are a State Capitalism (term coined for Russia's economy), there isn't now.

    This better be temporary.

    Invoked the Act but haven’t utilized it.

    Remember this is style over substance administration. It’s what they do not what they say.
