  1. You're missing one thing here... I live in the Netherlands and guess what's in the news here about the Defense Production act? Well, OUR companies (like Philips), providing YOU with jobs by setting up factories in the US, came to our government with the message that they fear the Americans would invoke the Defense Production act to claim all ventilators they produce, leaving Europeans to DIE. Right now they're working overtime to provide both the EU and the US with crucial equipment, but the Defense Production act could mean that all of that equipment is used only for the US. Making sure more equipment is produced by telling companies what's needed is all well and good. Claiming the production of your own companies is all well and good. But claiming the production of OUR companies? No. Just know that there will be countermeasures if the US goes through with this. Right now the production is distributed fairly across the US and EU markets. Should the US choose to claim it all of themselves, well... critical components of those ventilators are made in the EU. We will claim EU production for local use as well and watch as the production in the US grinds to a halt. With the deaths of both Europeans and Americans as a result. Either the production of our companies is fairly distributed, or there is no production at all. You can't do this without consequences. Proceed carefully, use the Defense Production act only where it doesn't deprive the EU of vital equipment made by EU companies abroad.
