Partly because, in general, how things get done in the world is not CEOs micromanaging the process. The scale is too large for that. It won't work. This is not an exact analogy, but if I'm a CEO and I walk down to shipping and I say, "Give me the bills of lading and list of trucks and I'll tell them where to go," I will actually fuck up the logistics department for weeks; and some of those trucks won't arrive, or won't be handled correctly for a while. Because I don't have 20 years of experience in shipping. Like, I just sent the refrigerator trucks north and the shipments sent south will spoil. |

Well, Florida does have all of those old, highly vulnerable, retirees and let's not forget all those obnoxious vectors on spring break!

It's definitely happening, but there are indeed competing answers as to why Florida got everything it asked for (e.g. higher population than some states--though certainly not New York--lower request numbers, looming hurricanes.) Department of Health & Human Services makes the direct decisions as to who gets what.

It is nice that they are estimating 81,000 now, because I initially set our over-under at 80,000
 and I am now pretending I was very very smart at doing this when I set it , ...it was just a wild-ass guess based on the flu numbers.In truth, early inches make it go up or down by powers of ten. A butterfly sneezes...! Nobody's early guess could have been very good. It was and is a dice roll. |

He doesn't have to micromanage the truck routing, he can just tell the managers "F New York".

I didn't put forth the theory, I was just trying to figure out what you thought could stop him.

Yeah, but I answered, and now we are in some sort of quibbling phase where my answer isn't it. Just bring us a link that proves it happened. That will really show I'm wrong.

As if Puerto Rico got the necessary supplies it needed. It only took a good part of a year to provide what was needed the first week. Because Trump is such a good manager.

USNS Comfort is now in NY harbor -- just when needed -- either this proves he is an effective leader or this proves he hates Puerto Rico.
Wait until he finds out how many Puerto Ricans are in NYC Actually it proves nothing at all as he had nothing to do with it |

So I had heard something but wasn't sure it was a rumor or what, but it's true-- back in early February, the State Department sent 17.8 tons of medical supplies to China, including masks and respirators. This is back when we only had a dozen cases in the US, and the whole thing was a democratic hoax that the media was hyping to hurt Trump's re-election.
Truth is stranger than fiction.

100% true. Feb. 7.
We fought the virus over there so we didn't have to fight it here, or something It's how USAID operates. They have now been EnTiReLy shut down after it was learned we asked Thailand for supplies while shipping them the same supplies |
