Pringles started with one flavour and it took decades to have 34 flavours.
The high cost of ventilators comes mostly from regulatory compliance and significant lack of demand.
If it makes faggots like OP feel any better, lots of groups are making low-cost "ventilators", free of warranty for suitability for any purpose whatsoever. Factories are being retooled to produce necessary supplies.

Socialism collapsed the actual free market and real competition and you fucking idiots think you can blame "capitalism" for something progressive socialists did?

Our children are more educated, and skillful than your fat lazy Federation children. A Kardassian child is able to memorize up to 13 digits by the age of 10.
Capitalism by it's very nature is prostitution. Your corporations bloated and greedy, giving all the spoils to only a handful of ungrateful sociopaths that revel in gains they will never be able to spend in their lifetime. Meanwhile the bottom half does all the real work to prop up the machine that you have been brainwashed into believing is your birthright.

Including My Pillow guy? DPA doesn't apply to them.
Plenty of businesses are voluntarily helping out. Shit, my mom owns a tiny alterations shop and has been sewing masks for local law enforcement.

Uh no actually I've always had a problem with China being the worlds labor pool but I don't recall my vote having much say in that.
I'd rather actually pay more to support American products that are made in America, but I am not given that option. And before you say "well communism" communism wouldn't give me that option either, it would just mean the state would be buying cheap shit from China to sell me.....the only way to fix China is for capitalists to punish China by reworking their entire production and logistics chain.

Dont worry, socialism will make enough masks for everybody

>Most companies prefer to follow orders by themselves, instead of having management replaced on gunpoint.
That's a great example on how fear can be used to make companies help the people instead of just profiting.
