What's wrong with having a public / private partnership?

Nothing, but I didn't tune into the President announcing a National Emergency to have him call up the CEO's of these companies, SHAKE ALL THEIR HANDS and let them speak like an infomercial. I was hoping there would be talk about how they would be protecting the vulnerable and what people should be doing.

> SHAKE ALL THEIR HANDS

Nit, but he only shook a couple. Certainly, the majority did not receive handshakes

[nickthegreek]

I apologize for the rhetoric. It was 7 handshakes.

Rewatching the stream, I count 4 [0].

Nothing IMO. Parading out 15 Executives to give them each 30 seconds at the podium in order to praise dear leader on the other hand looks pathetic though.

The "partnership" is some donated parking spaces.

Mostly just the irony of using Socialism as a scapegoat repeatedly and then nationalizing some of the virus effort.

Of course, he'll never say it was socialism - just "strong action".
