It’s unclear precisely how Oren-Pines was vetted. He is a specialist in mobile phone technology, with no apparent experience in government contracting or medical devices, Buzzfeed found.
He was one of thousands of people who, on March 27, replied to a tweet from President Trump urging Ford and General Motors to “START MAKING VENTILATORS, NOW!”
“We can supply ICU Ventilators, invasive and noninvasive. Have someone call me URGENT,” Oren-Pines had responded.
An unnamed state official told Buzzfeed that he came recommended by the White House coronavirus task force. One thing is certain, this mobile phone technician was clever enough to send a one-sentence message to an excessively stupid President.
New York is still trying to get the rest of its money back.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

The worse part besides the total deception at a time when the ventilators were sorely needed? The State paid "a jaw-dropping $47,656 per ventilator — at least triple the standard retail price of high-end models".

You could say "what a genius" for making a lot of money doing nothing, but I say "what an idiot" to not care about anyone.
There are 2 Gods. One who created us. The other you created. The God you made up is just like you-thrives on flattery-makes you live in fear.
Believe in the God who created us. And the God you created should be abolished.
