San Francisco mayor says city's PPE orders have been diverted, confiscated: It 'blows my mind'

[RandySF]

San Francisco Mayor London Breed (D) said Friday that her city’s orders for personal protection equipment (PPE) have been diverted to other U.S. cities and foreign countries.

“We’ve had issues of our orders being relocated by our suppliers in China,” she said at a press conference. “For example, we had isolation gowns on their way to San Francisco and they were diverted to France. We’ve had situations when things we’ve ordered that have gone through Customs were confiscated by FEMA to be diverted to other locations.

“We know everyone is dealing with a serious challenge," she continued. "Through Customs, we’ve had situations where those items have been taken and put out on the market for the highest bidder, putting cities against cities and states against states."

Breed said San Francisco has purchased 15 million pieces of PPE and received other tools from the federal government but still does not have the equipment necessary to adequately combat the coronavirus outbreak in the city.

9. Or being used for family "deals."

Worse yet, they could be hoarded for the military so they'll all be safe while they're waging war against the US population under the command of Supreme Authority Shitgibbon.

If things have been paid for, maybe it's time to charge DHS agents with theft.

5. Follow the money. The racketeering case is building. Newsom should have warned her that he

is the only one who could buy cv supplies in a declared national emergency.

15. This is so mental and should be the last straw for the Trump presidency.

He criticizes the governors for not looking in all the possible places to supply their own state's PPE, and then, when they do manage to find supplies, he confiscates them! And then, he diverts supplies meant for the states to FOREIGN countries!

How did Trump manage to sustain the image of a successful businessman for so long!
