@nytimes published this a month ago but still no action! "The government could already be incentivizing rapid changes to expand production capacity and supply of necessary products." @USChamber - endorse use of the DPA now! https://t.co/H6yX177GIY #PPEoverProfit #MBAsfortheDPA

[MBAs for the DPA @Mbas4Dpa]

ICYMI in @nytimes: "Many corporate executives have also lobbied the Trump administration against using the act, saying they fear that more government intervention and bureaucracy at a time of intense supply chain disruptions could do more harm than good." https://t.co/jwGiMvHUxj

ICYMI in @businessinsider: "Trump has treated the DPA as a last resort regarding the pandemic, but the military has used the law hundreds of thousands of times throughout his presidency to ensure contract prioritization" https://t.co/IycOZlp6aD #PPEoverProfit #MBAsfortheDPA

@USChamber Stop wasting time and start saving lives! Endorse the Defense Production Act to accelerate the production of PPE and ventilators in response to COVID-19. #COVID19 #PPEoverProfit #PPEshortage #HealthcareHeroes #MBAsfortheDPA

A bipartisan group of senators sent a letter to President Trump calling for him to "lead a strong, coordinated federal effort to support first responders" by addressing a national shortage of personal protective equipment as the US fights coronavirus https://t.co/GDg6He6IQn

Just got featured @PoetsAndQuants about why the @USChamber, the nation's largest lobbyist for big business, is slowing our response to #COVID19 . MBAs nationwide are asking the Chamber to endorse the DPA to accelerate ventilator production. https://t.co/Bv10vFN3EX #PPEoverProfit
