Speaker 1: The Amazon Prime. Washington Post ran a feel good coronavirus
Speaker 1: story the other day. It's about a factory in Kenya
Speaker 1: that was transformed overnight for making clothes to making thirty
Speaker 1: thousand face masks a day. One of them had a
Speaker 1: hole in the nose for Joe Biden to wear. Kenyan
Speaker 1: government officials believe that they're gonna need about fifty million
Speaker 1: masks when the virus peaks there. Unfortunately, the country doesn't
Speaker 1: have facilities to manufacture medical equipment. Worse, they get outbid
Speaker 1: by larger nations that have more money and more leverage
Speaker 1: for purchases. Until now, Kenya has been relying on the
Speaker 1: chi coms to supply their medical device needs necessities, forcing
Speaker 1: a change, though. The governor of this small county in
Speaker 1: Kenya concluded that they import everything and they produce nothing
Speaker 1: despite having plenty of resources at their disposal. So in
Speaker 1: one week they retrain four hundred factory workers to make
Speaker 1: n ninety five masks. And there's a lesson here for generations.
Speaker 1: The US led the world and manufacturing, including manufacturing medical devices.
Speaker 1: Then Obamacare came along, and one of the ways Obama
Speaker 1: decided to pay for that monstrosity was with big taxes
Speaker 1: on medical devices. Predictably, a lot of that industry picked
Speaker 1: up and moved its manufacturing over to China, the home
Speaker 1: a cheap labor. Now the whole world has learned, but
Speaker 1: relying on China for basic health care necessities that's not
Speaker 1: so smart. It's time for a change in America as well,
Speaker 1: and we can do it.
