    WTF

    • Yeah. Because we NEED THEM IN NYC ffsmonospaced
    • Revolting piece of utter filth.Continuity
    • He’s asking 3M to stop sending them out of the country and to the hospitals that need them critically at the moment.monospaced
    • I fucking hate trump. But this isn’t bad. It’s just to make sure we aren’t outbid on our own shit.monospaced
    • Right. So you'll resort to piracy by literally waving wads of cash around to take supplies destined for France, and you'll divert a shipment to Canada.Continuity
    • With allies like you people, the rest of Nato doesn't actually need enemies.Continuity
    • Canada has had under 200 deaths. Nyc is Hundreds per DAY. We actually need them at the moment.monospaced
    • Masks should go where they are needed. To act like only the USA has them or makes is fucking retarded.monospaced
    • And France has way more than New York.Continuity
    • I understand and its true mono. But that shipment who was divert from Canada was not coolBennn
    • Let's call that 'diverted' shipment exactly what it fucking is: piracy.Continuity
    • Yes it is. Canada has PLENTY for upcoming issues. We are critical at the moment. There WILL be supplies for your nation too.monospaced
    • It's no one else's fault that your primitive country can't get its shit together, mono.Continuity
    • People need to understand that supplies are globally going where they need to be at critical moments. Hospitals are helping with all of this.monospaced
    • We're not plenty actually... we have 3 to 7 days left in Quebec province... we may have some problems in a few daysBennn
    • Uhhhh. Our primitive country that you’re begging for supplies from? Please. If you’re so advanced make your own.monospaced
    • It’s not piracy if it’s your own stuff and you have THOUSANDS DYING A DAY vs the dozens or less in Canada.monospaced
    • Bnnnn. We have fewer days. It’s downright critical the masks are on doctors here. My friends are those doctors !!monospaced
    • It fucking well is piracy. That shipment had been ordered, bought, and paid for, and it somehow ends up in Ohio.Continuity
    • Diverted to where it’s needed. Sorry. Not piracy if you own the ship and you’re the captain, and you made all the product too.monospaced
    • The shipment was coming from China, you obtuse American twat. It didn't belong to you.Continuity
    • Are you becoming a Trumptard mono?nbq
    • This is a great debate. Was the US sending masks and ventilators to Italy in early March?
      ********
    • also, its quite clear that supply can't meet demand for PPE globally if this goes on much longer. america once again risking the lives of its neighbours as akingsteven
    • direct result of Trumps slow action to contain the virus.kingsteven
    • I understand and agree about 3M making masks for the US first as its an American business. Totally understand that. I overreacted here.Bennn
    • but the Chinese shipment that ended up in Ohio.... eeeeehhBennn
    • What type of fish is an American?

      Sell fish.
      ideaist
    • Well, how about the world social distance itself from the States? This kind of behaviour is not cool.
      ********
    • ^ We could only wish.Continuity
    • Unfortunately, they have an annoying tendency of inserting themselves where they're not wanted.Continuity
    • And also helping out when needed.monospaced
    • What happened to good old capitalism? I though Merica was built and thrives on capitalism? The US needs pull itself up by its bootstraps, stop being a snowflakeutopian
    • well, hopefully this spurs more Canadian industry and innovation again and stop relying so much on the yanks or anyone else._niko
    • also mono, when you run out of Maple syrup, don't come crying over here eh? ;O_niko
    • Just wait for the USA to run out of waterGnash
    • i agree niko, about the spurs Canadaian industryBennn
    • @gnash Ah! :DBennn
    • QBN has become rough.SimonFFM

      ********
    • I guess the non-asshole way to do this would not be to literally divert the shipments after they had been paid for and people counting on receiving them.yuekit
    • Here's a report of another shipment of masks ordered by Germany that has been seized.

    • so it has began. mask hoarding. russia and taiwan etc have donated millions of masks to US already...pango
    • Can't we make an exception considering these masks are for monospaced's friends?!!deadsperm
    • i think the real problem is delivering masks to the front line. US been hoarding all the masks now, but front line people dont see none.pango
    • As 3M pointed out, preventing them from exporting will trigger retaliations which will make FEWER masks available to the US.zarkonite
    • As a bonus, since most 3M manufactures are outside the us this is going to get all kinds of fucked up before long...zarkonite
    • Lol, deadspermGnash
    • rotfl deadsperm
      ********
    • Just wait for it. Operation China Freedom is coming.ben_
    • chill 3M says "no" https://news.3m.com/…
      ********
    • USA is now that drowning guy trying to climb on top of the other swimmers.monNom
    • The non asshole way to do this, was for the USA's leader to publicly make a statement on the reasonings for doing so. In a compassionate, well thought out way.inteliboy
    • But thats not the way Biff operates.inteliboy
