Mr. (P)Resident: Mobilize The Military And The Factories NOW!
You have the power. You have the authority. If indeed we are swimming in masks and tests, as you claim, then mobilize the military to deliver them. They can deliver supplies behind enemy lines, they can surely deliver supplies to the hospitals on the front lines.
You have the authority, which you requested, to mobilize the factories to mass-produce ventilators, masks, tests, whatever you need. You have companies begging you to do just this.
The military is ready, the factories are ready. All they need is your signal.
This is no longer about protecting your tattered reputation. It’s about protecting tens of millions of people. If, in the course of doing the right thing you happen to repair your tattered reputation, I’m all for it.
