All US-based corporations with operations in china must halt and repatriate them immediately. Those who do no comply will be fined, imprisoned, and all corporate assets seized and sold to the highest American bidder.
Tariffs is the way to go. You can produce them in China and export them here, but it's going to make the product noncompetitive in price if they have to shell out more than the cost of the product.
Yeah no mate - that fly's in the face of free enterprise. That's actions straight out of the socialist/communist playbook.
Tariffs are absolutely the way to go. If you want to use overseas (cheap) labour and factories, pay the toll. It will either bring billions into the country via tariffs OR billions by the companies bringing their production back in. Either way, it's a win win for the country.
Forcing a company to do something by force, is communism 101. I question where your loyalty is.
She's smart, beautiful, bold, and has everything a president of the United States of America should. Look at the district she serves: brimming with success!
Before, Trump would have faced a political firestorm for any perceived increased costs. Now? His pressing for the repatriation of critical manufacturing looks like freaking Nostradamus.
For real, man. If you eat enough starch and have a juicy load of Skoal on board, one loogie will hold six sheets of 20# bond paper to Bette Middler's ass for a good ten months.
I agree with the sentiment, but that's wholly un-American. The DPA is being used and it is a fair compensation. But that's short term. President Trump is spot on with his plans for tariffs. Make it more expensive to produce overseas and ship here than to produce here and sell here.
This worship of free market at all costs has got to die in the republican party. Our founders never believed this. The United States is one country and trade within our borders should never have hindrances, but I'm tired of sacrificing our brothers and sisters to a market that values only monetary costs.
This is wholly unrelated to socialism that seeks to strip wealth from the individual, but a middle ground that realizes the extremes are both destructive. I want a businessman to make as much money as possible, but I refuse to hollow out my country so he can have an additional 15% margin. People matter. They need purpose and freedom to flourish. Socialism strips both, but so does hypercapitalism. It is more deceptive because our metrics show we are making more money than ever - we should be prospering.
We cannot and should not compete with slave labor. We should break imports into classifications based on the average labor costs involved and tariff the difference between our own domestic market. This will raise prices and wages in the US and disincentivize cheap labor over seas.
Money is only a tool and we've lost sight of that. It is not serving our communities. Sure, we have some of the richest men in the world making all of the money in the world, but we have people who have lost hope. People who slave to earn enough money to survive. Communities so preoccupied with making enough money to survive that we've stopped caring about our neighbor.
I'm a conservative because we once had these principles. Our country was built on them. Our founders didn't tax our people, but ran on the tariffs of goods crossing our external borders. We finally rid ourselves of the scourge of slavery only to outsource it again. We made the mistake of letting greed run uncontrolled, rather than harnessing it's natural urges to benefit the most people.
You're conflating trade within our borders with a company reaping all the benefits of slave labor in China then shipping the product back here.
This robs Americans of jobs and steals from our own economy. Money is a tool,yes. But we can't be great if we're short changing ourselves by allowing companies to cheat us for their benefit.
If we make the cost of producing elsewhere prohibitive, they will produce here. With American materials and American labor. It's a win for everyone. We just have to deincentivise outsourcing material and labor.
Screw these people, the president needs to nationalize them NOW. After the CCP Virus is beaten and 3M is returned to their current management, boycott 3M for killing Americans over the false god of globalism. Boycott that shit until a real American runs the company, like Michael Lindell
The masks manufactured in the U.S. need to go to U.S. customers first. That is the fastest way to get them to U.S. customers. Those masks made in China can go to other customers.
We take it for two months, then give it to the markets, which are almost nonexistent currently. We’re already Socialist living like this. We have to fight our way out.
The market will, in fact, punish them. Also, calling people "stupid, ignorant, idealist, antiquated, virtue signalling" isn't exactly pushing the rest of your argument in a positive direction.
Fucking based. In the end this is why I’m authright not libright. We need a strong, nationalist government to reign these asshole companies in. There is no stopping them otherwise.
So anybody know what are some of 3M’s biggest products and the best competitor equivalent? I will definitely be going out of my way to avoid supporting them at all costs from now on.
This should be your response to pretty much every post on here. Trump should make it part of the daily press conferences. Like, every day he should pick another treasonous group to be tried and hanged.
"There are, however, significant humanitarian implications of ceasing respirator supplies to healthcare workers in Canada and Latin America" They are going to find themselves Nationalize. And the Marines will be running 3M.They did not come right out and say they were going to continue business as usual. But it sounds like it.
President Trump should freeze 3M's stock on the market and freeze all of their US accounts. Seize their assets, US factories and patents and ban them from any further business in the United States.
Arrest the officials in charge, extradite them if necessary.
3M is also responsible for a lot of firefighter deaths. Their PPE is what is causing cancer when heated, it offgasses carcinogens. Also, 3M can be thanked for their PFAS foam cancer as well.
The DPA is textbook fascism. Using the power of the market is the American way. The DPA is an illegal and immoral bandaid for illegal and immoral overregulation by the FDA.
If we rolled back some of the govt overregulation and applied tariffs, the market would have already resolved this. But govt, and many posters here, would rather thousands die than relinquish the slightest power.
"we secured approval from China to export to the U.S. 10 million N95 respirators manufactured by 3M in China."
They had to secure approval from Chicoms to export from their own factory...
Fuck these cocksuckers, in fact fuck all global branded bullshit companies that offshore every fucking thing that isn't counting money.
All US-based corporations with operations in china must halt and repatriate them immediately. Those who do no comply will be fined, imprisoned, and all corporate assets seized and sold to the highest American bidder.
Needs to happen.
Tariffs is the way to go. You can produce them in China and export them here, but it's going to make the product noncompetitive in price if they have to shell out more than the cost of the product.
No. Fuck em. Take away the company and throw them to the wolves.
We're at war.
Yeah no mate - that fly's in the face of free enterprise. That's actions straight out of the socialist/communist playbook.
Tariffs are absolutely the way to go. If you want to use overseas (cheap) labour and factories, pay the toll. It will either bring billions into the country via tariffs OR billions by the companies bringing their production back in. Either way, it's a win win for the country.

Better yet, end all the bull shit taxes and regulations. Then you don't even need tariffs, we can easily out compete slave labor.
Yeah? Who exactly is going to sift us like wheat, Numbnuts?
Wondering about your signature. Maxine is THE most vicious of California Dem's except Pelosi.
She's smart, beautiful, bold, and has everything a president of the United States of America should. Look at the district she serves: brimming with success!
In peach fo fi.
Before, Trump would have faced a political firestorm for any perceived increased costs. Now? His pressing for the repatriation of critical manufacturing looks like freaking Nostradamus.
Ha i bet the have 50mil masks in china they just worded it so people think we are getting all the masks from China
It's cute that they think it was a request.
Holy shit with the down votes. Lots of cucks from Reddit are trying to infiltrate.
Lol. And I've got governor Murphy threatening us with legal action if two many of us go for a walk.
Fuck this whole world
No more post it notes.
Always fell off too soon anyway.
Yup
For real, man. If you eat enough starch and have a juicy load of Skoal on board, one loogie will hold six sheets of 20# bond paper to Bette Middler's ass for a good ten months.
There is nothing not disgusting about your comment. 🤮🤮🤮
Aw, thanks. That's what I was shootin for.
👌🏻
The law is not on their side right now, and I am disappointed they would kill so many Americans. It is a National emergency, seize it.

No the current Management needs to be hung. And sell all their stock.
What the FUCK part about "AMERICA FIRST" don't these douchebags understand?
The part where they hate America and what it stands for.
March in the National Guard. That company belongs to America only now. Be done with this shit.
Let's not go full socialist on this. Just let the market show 3M what the public thinks of them leaving customers and clients in the US to die.
Yep, already sold my stock! Bye-bye!
The masks manufactured in the U.S. need to go to U.S. customers first. That is the fastest way to get them to U.S. customers. Those masks made in China can go to other customers.

All your base are belong to us, mf's!
I suggest everyone call the number at the bottom of that page and give them a piece of your mind.
I think we may have moved past that stage.
So anybody know what are some of 3M’s biggest products and the best competitor equivalent? I will definitely be going out of my way to avoid supporting them at all costs from now on.
Dad joke.......3M is BM Could not resist

We played nice, now Nationalize the mother fuckers!
Translation, they're China's masks produced in a factory built by 3M (with American knowledge and treasure).
Time for some enforcement actions. Paging Bill Barr. If you can prosecute General Flynn, you can prosecute these fuckers.
3M is dead to me. In time of war treason is met with a firing squad.
3M collaborated with the Nazis.
You use use the full name: National Socialists.
They don’t seem to have a clue which country they are based in. Ridiculous.
President Trump should freeze 3M's stock on the market and freeze all of their US accounts. Seize their assets, US factories and patents and ban them from any further business in the United States.
Arrest the officials in charge, extradite them if necessary.
The fuck are they judging humanitarian and policy ramifications, they are a business they are not elected policy makers.
3M Minnesota Mining and .... Oh Minnesota. Go figure.
Honestly I’m not sure how I feel about the government telling me where I can and can’t sell my products.
NA-NA-NA-NATIONALIZED!!
Listen to that retarded argument. If you stop exporting masks other nations might not sell us anymore masks!
Why would countries that are importing masks be exporting masks?
3M is also responsible for a lot of firefighter deaths. Their PPE is what is causing cancer when heated, it offgasses carcinogens. Also, 3M can be thanked for their PFAS foam cancer as well.

That Ladys phone must be blowing up bad!
I didn't read it as refusing the order, just pointing out the problems that could occur.
Let the US government get the respirators and then decide how important it is to supply neighboring countries.
