“We are the last major domestic mask company,” he wrote on Jan. 23. “My phones are ringing now, so I don’t ‘need’ government business. I’m just letting you know that I can help you preserve our infrastructure if things ever get really bad. I’m a patriot first, businessman second.”

In the end, the government did not take Bowen up on his offer. Even today, production lines that could be making more than 7 million masks a month sit dormant.

This doesn't surprise me at all.

Maybe this guy was talking to the wrong people.  Don’t states and hospitals do their own purchasing?

Washington Post???  🤣  I have zero confidence that anything they print will be accurate, complete, or objective.  They are still pushing the "Russia, Russia, Russia" nonsense.  Their agenda is clear.......and it isn't to present factual, objective news stories.
