De Blasio: Coronavirus ‘Is a Case for’ ‘Nationalization of Crucial Factories and Industries’

So, Red Bill DiBlasio figures that government should seize the means of production of vital medical supplies.

But if you enact tariffs and trade agreements that accomplish the same thing without Marxism, he screams blue murder.

Fuck you Bill.




De Blasio: Coronavirus ‘Is a Case for’ ‘Nationalization of Crucial Factories and Industries’

On Saturday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “AM Joy,” New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) stated that the coronavirus outbreak is a case for “a nationalization of crucial factories and industries that could produce the medical supplies to prepare this country for what we need.”

De Blasio said, “This is a war-like situation. We’re in a wartime scenario with a Mar-a-Lago attitude being used by the federal government, right? It’s so laid back, and I don’t understand it. And by the way, testing, how about ventilators? Where is the federal government making sure that our hospitals have the ventilators we’re going to need? Where is the federal government when it comes to surgical masks, getting them distributed where they need? This is a case for a nationalization, literally a nationalization of crucial factories and industries that could produce the medical supplies to prepare this country for what we need. Hand sanitizer, people are going crazy, I don’t blame them, trying to get hand sanitizer.”

He added, “There should be a national approach to ensuring max — every factory that can make hand sanitizer should be on 24/7 shifts and the distribution should be go[ing] to the places that need it most.”

Hand sanitizer, people are going crazy, I don’t blame them, trying to get hand sanitizer.

Hey, asshole, here's a guy with 17,000 bottles for sale and Amazon will not let him sell them.

As much as this seemed like a manufactured crisis,, It is nice to see them admit a manufactured crisis.

Sorry, I keep forgetting there is a CV forum now

Not unpredictable from one of the Marxists.

President Bernie: “Due to the extraordinary danger and massive death that may be caused by the Coronavirus, I am hearby declaring a national state of emergency. To combat this historical crisis, I am nationalizing all hospitals and the pharmaceutical industry. We will need all of these resources in this epic battle.

Wrong Herr Wilhelm Jr (aka De Blasio).

This is a case for rejecting outsourcing, and specifically putting all of your eggs in the Communist Chinese basket (your role models).

He added, “There should be a national approach to ensuring max — every factory that can make hand sanitizer should be on 24/7 shifts and the distribution should be go[ing] to the places that need it most.”

And just who, pray tell, will be determining what places need it the most? Just what is needed, a national version of the DMV in control of resources. The stupidity of humanity never ceases to amaze me. (Some) people will actually buy into this insanity.

Meanwhile, NYers are withdrawing huge sums of cash

I've been worried that, around the country, they may let ATMs run out of cash, then insist only credit/debit cards be used.

Midtown Manhattan Bank Runs Out Of $100 Bills Amid Corona Panic
Sun, 03/15/2020

With the stock market plummeting as the realities of the COVID-19 outbreak sink in, nervous New Yorkers flooded a Midtown Manhattan Bank of America - taking out large sums of cash into the tens of thousands of dollars at a time.

So much so, in fact, that the branch at 52nd St. and Park Avenue ran out of $100 bills according to the New York Times, citing three people familiar with the branch's operations. Of note, the problem was limited to large bills - with smaller denominations remaining stocked. Two days later, the bank was resupplied.

The shortage hit after a rash of requests for as much as $50,000, said two people who witnessed the rush.

The problem was limited to large bills — the bank’s A.T.M.s stayed stocked and customers with routine transactions were still able to take out cash. By Friday morning, the bank had refilled its supply of big bills, two of the people said.

But the desire for cash persisted: A teller at a JPMorgan Chase branch across the street said on Friday that there had been a “nonstop” stream of customers stockpiling cash over the past two days. -NYT

"We don’t keep large amounts of cash in big bills in the branches because it’s dangerous for our employees and there is low demand," said Bank of America spokesman Bill Halldin, who added that the bank had enough cash available to meet its clients' needs,

As the Times words it, "it appears the deep level of fear that has set in on Wall Street — as weeks of market gyrations have wiped trillions of dollars of wealth — has also permeated people’s personal lives."

Notably, cash transportation company Brink's reported "a big spike in demand" last week from some of its bank clients according to company spokesman Edward Cunningham.

"They’re putting more cash into branches, they’re requesting more frequent replenishment of A.T.M.s," he said.

Panic began to set in last Monday after the S&P 500 triggered a "level one circuit breaker" following a drop of 7%. Google searches for "Black Monday" spiked, along with inquiries for "Vix," "NYSE circuit breakers," and "what was Black Monday."

Sanders probably got a hard on when he heard De Blasio say this.

I'm tired of hearing that because of Covid-19 we need "___________".

Think I'll start a thread for that.
