Author Topic: Government Seizing Property During Covid-19 (Read 11350 times)

Everyone would like to capitalize, but most don't have the ability. To get that kind of product you need to know where to source it, have capital for investment, a place for storage, and avenues for resale. I, for example, have none of those, short of DDF. Many in our communities are already in that world, so they find themselves very uniquely situated, hence the LE attention.

Hard to believe that’s the case
I think everyone is in for the buck especially these days

I don't believe it is the case and not everyone is in it for the buck.

Everyone would like to capitalize...

Not even close. I could have bought pallets at cost and did not. I am not the exception to the rule.

Where did the 2x come from?

You should have bought and passed on to HCPs at cost

I'm not sure about that. You're most definitely in the minority. I'm not saying everyone wants to profiteer, but few people would turn down a chance ro make 10-20%. I'll amend my statement to "Most would like to capitalize..."

In areas where the problem is.

What is the problem with a medical supply co having inventory? (Not talking about price gouging, stockpiling etc.)

Most people like to make a profit but giving the current circumstances I would venture to say most people would not get involved with this giving the myriad of risks and ethical questions.

Yes, I messed up. They were construction N95's and not sure when they authorized their use.

I'm getting a job as a spokesperson for a well-travelled individual, so hopefully the opportunity presents itself.

Is this going on all over US? NJ? NY? Or just in Jewish neighborhoods?

Just BC the news writes about it when its in LKWD or BP doesnt mean its not happening anywhere else.
Happens to be Jewish ppl live in these 2 towns and the media is obsessed over jews and orthodox in particular.

Also LKWD has a huge industrial park so makes sense that a warehouse there had some items of interest.

Now chill as it was sarcasm.

I'm curious if they tried "shopping" anywhere else besides for BP or Lakewood... It was the same FBI office by the way.

If comments related to an article about Orthodox Jews contains 100's of negative comments, some from officials, a person can only speculate that some in the local FBI office share the same sentiment. This leads to direct targeting of orthodox jews.

It'll take a few years and expect to see lawsuits regarding targeting of orthodox jews when it comes to enforcement of laws (just like african americans).
