Announced that she is sending 140 ventilators to New York because the outbreak here in Oregon is not that bad. She announced closures very early on and we have benefited from that.

.... to a PO Box in Wash.DC. The current listed owner is Kushie and Princess Glitter Pussy. The ventilators are drop shipped to there ,.. then they add a 379% markup then ship them to Cuomo in NY.

Middle men who finagle their fingers into any retail transaction are entitled to a fair and reasonable markup/profit.

A reasonable markup of 378% by Jared&Princess seems more than fair.
For goodness sakes, they are young entrepreneurs trying to keep their children fed, they are not out to make a killing.
