Everyone here on DU has had some kind of break point. This is mine.
Right now, in an attempt to help with PPE needs in hospitals---Im helping a colleague, in a small way, import N95 masks from China TO DONATE to hospitals. She has a go fund me.
We are in fashion apparel and she has a fabric sourcing business. Her mills all started making masks for China.
Now we can get them in very large minimum order quantities. The customs situation was a nightmare but she figured it out. A kind person donated 75k to get it all started.
She had to start a fundraiser for the rest. 100% of donations go to masks. Volunteer admins. Im so proud of my friend. Its absolutely her personality to do this, to try to help because she can.
That our POS pResident is making money off this process holds a special level of disgust and revulsion for me.
