Fucking union. They are in it for the good PR as well as the money. They’ve probably known about the masks for weeks.

 

[supercorndogs]

How many of these places bought up masks, just like politicians dumped their stocks.

 

[OldSalty]

A box of 40 masks is about the size of an avg to smaller size shoe box...so they "found" approx 1 million shoe boxes...

LoL.

Good timing too...just as the US overtakes the global lead in cases...

Or, maybe I am just cynical.

 

[Centuriator]

serious question: Why would the union have all these masks stockpiled? Don't construction companies provide these to union workers?

"The union found a distributor with the masks"

Has this distributor been living in a cave for the past 30 days or has he been holding on to them until the price and demand is higher?

39 million is no small number.

Ah...thanks "found a distributor with the masks..." Wow, that's a big find. I wonder how many more millions of masks are just sitting out there in warehouses. I read an interesting article about the development of the N95 mask. Very, very interesting.

The untold origin story of the N95 mask

The most important design object of our time was more than a century in the making.

"Found" a distributor.

Next they'll find 30 Million rolls of toilet paper and 20 million bottles of hand sanitizer.

What a crock of absolute shite.

Some of you guys would bitch about being hung with a new rope. Or free money.

How about being fucking happy that whomever “they” are that “found” them, didnt send the fucking things to china and saved them for the united states.

Good grief, charlie brown.

Lol, they probably found them from China, likely even Wuhan since the majority of the world's masks are made in China.

One can be happy they found them yet question the motives/timing and circumstances.

It is possible for most moderately functioning adults....JS.

But yes, I am happy they found them and will be selling them where needed.

How big of a warehouse do you need for 39 million masks? They don’t just get found in the back closet of a distributor.

SEIU represents healthcare workers among other services. If my union was hoarding masks and endangering their serfs in healthcare I think I might make a trip to headquarters and politely ask for some masks while I have Eugene on my shoulder. Hypothetically of course

 

[theLBC]

odd that they "found" them a few days after barr threatened to jail hoarders?

 

[OldSalty]

How big of a warehouse do you need for 39 million masks?

I estimate somewhere around 315,000 ft^3, +/- 20,000.

But is highly dependent on how they are packaged.

About this big.

That depends on whether or not they can breach my perimeter. ?

Are you related to Hillary Clinton? You got the "what difference does it make" statement down pat.

If you'll remember, a lot of the troublemakers at conservative campaign rallies back in 2016 were the purple shirt wearin seiu members. Just sayin.

i think you thought you had a point....but if you did, it is a lousy one.

you comparing hillary’s bullshit to me saying “who gives a fuck, be happy they didnt get sent to china” is WAY off the mark. smells like cat piss to me.
