Right after Barr said something about handcuffs and general population ** -- bigbadbird 03/27/2020 08:39AM
Painstakingly calling leads???? Why didnt the leads proactively offer? ** -- vt_mughal 03/27/2020 08:25AM
Seriously. When EVEYRONE is talking about mask shortages, it doesn't take -- HokieSignGuy 03/27/2020 08:47AM
See my post below, most health providers probably -- HokieForever 03/27/2020 08:44AM
No way any hospital administrator anywhere that is desperately -- 81_Hokie 03/27/2020 09:21AM
And this is a West Coast union calling an east coast distributor -- jmanatVT 03/27/2020 08:48AM
What's the BS? It doesn't read that these masks were in some SEIU warehouse ** -- jmanatVT 03/27/2020 08:09AM
The BS is in embedded in how, after this constant -- PhotoHokieNC 03/27/2020 08:16AM
Yeah SEIU doesn't own inventory -- HokieForever 03/27/2020 08:15AM
Took 48 hours to “discover” 39,000,000 masks. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 03/27/2020 08:19AM
Easy to imagine for people who work in supply chains ** -- typed by ben 03/27/2020 09:22AM
Article I read -- HokieForever 03/27/2020 08:22AM
See my post below.... -- HokieForever 03/27/2020 08:20AM
The only source for that is Breitbart misquoting the union. -- jmanatVT 03/27/2020 08:35AM
“Of course the Union didn’t say that.” -- PhotoHokieNC 03/27/2020 08:47AM
Find where the union said that. It was an erroneous paraphrase. -- jmanatVT 03/27/2020 09:33AM
On the SEIU website a spokesman said thry were arranging the sale. -- PhotoHokieNC 03/27/2020 10:01AM
Seriously? Arranging a sale does not make you a seller -- jmanatVT 03/27/2020 10:05AM
Is it reposting instead of editing?** -- jmanatVT 03/27/2020 09:33AM
Delete multipost - user error** -- jmanatVT 03/27/2020 09:32AM
I will agree it is confusing... -- HokieForever 03/27/2020 08:41AM
Translation our supply chain for medical supplies -- HokieForever 03/27/2020 07:45AM
? -- HOKIEVET 03/27/2020 08:36AM
How so? In some way there'd be less money available? -- jmanatVT 03/27/2020 09:44AM
You went on a tangient -- HokieForever 03/27/2020 08:58AM
They said something about selling the $0.80 masks for $5 -- EDGEMAN 03/27/2020 07:49AM
I bought 10 N99s last year for $15.00 Now more than that per item. ** -- 48zip 03/27/2020 10:59AM
It doesn't appear that SEIU is setting the price, rather the distributor -- jmanatVT 03/27/2020 08:07AM
Yeah the article I read is they called around to everyone/anyone ** -- HokieForever 03/27/2020 08:15AM
It seems the story is West Coast Union finds supplier for their members -- jmanatVT 03/27/2020 08:39AM
If this was a service union, and they already owned -- PhotoHokieNC 03/27/2020 08:04AM
They don't own the masks. ** -- jmanatVT 03/27/2020 08:07AM
OK. Then why are they the middle man to sell them? ** -- PhotoHokieNC 03/27/2020 08:09AM
I don't know why a private PA company is sitting on them -- jmanatVT 03/27/2020 08:24AM
Ah I see the twist -- HokieForever 03/27/2020 08:19AM
It doesn't appear that is true. Breitbart seems to try to suggest that -- jmanatVT 03/27/2020 08:30AM
Not sure about it not making sense. Not saying that's what's happening. -- vthokieq 03/27/2020 08:50AM
How would the union exert any pressure here? -- jmanatVT 03/27/2020 09:34AM
Seriously? -- vthokieq 03/27/2020 09:39AM
They aren't setting the price, the market is. They have no leverage -- jmanatVT 03/27/2020 09:59AM
Nevermind. -- vthokieq 03/27/2020 10:07AM
There is price gouging without the union. Again, how could the union -- jmanatVT 03/27/2020 10:11AM
Already explained it. -- vthokieq 03/27/2020 10:17AM
And I pointed out how in your scenario the union did not actually -- jmanatVT 03/27/2020 10:25AM
I didn't ignore it...the union is already involved. -- vthokieq 03/27/2020 10:32AM
No one said unions weren't involved. Being involved doesn't -- jmanatVT 03/27/2020 10:38AM
First off...I didn't accuse anyone of anything. -- vthokieq 03/27/2020 10:45AM
So was this the typical internet debate where we were only roughly -- jmanatVT 03/27/2020 11:09AM
I don't know that I'd go that far. ;-) -- vthokieq 03/27/2020 11:52AM
That's not a fair summary of my position. For one, I literally fathomed -- jmanatVT 03/27/2020 11:02AM
Trust me they will, but they can't right now -- HokieForever 03/27/2020 07:53AM
