Harbor freight apparently has 1000 stores. Id bet money at least half were bought out of the items in question before this decision was made. To come up with a number, maybe 20 boxes of 10 masks at each remaining store, plus enough to restock each store from distribution centers. 300,000 masks. I figure this is probably a generous estimate, given the way things have been sold out over the past couple weeks.

That would be one mask per $10,000 of his fortune.

I donated more PPE, as compared by means. Far more.

Its nice that Eric is doing this. Its impressive compared to the very low bar set by companies such as Hobby Lobby or Goodwill. But its not all that impressive when I compare it to the sacrifices and efforts I see daily among people of extremely modest means within my community as we fall into this disaster Trump shoved the country into.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
