anyone know how this works? I want to “sign up” if I can. I’m in a pretty unique situation to have this not cause me any real issues, and I want to help. We need ventilators....

Yes, I’m well versed in google. It didn’t turn much up. Yes, I can see the government can make businesses prioritize government contracts, but does this mean they’ll be putting out rfq’s? Is there some other mechanism used? Do they look for every business registered as a particular type (manufacturing/machining)? There’s a lot of options. They could just use existing normal contractors I suppose, but we know in the past we had multiple businesses of various types convert to making weapons. Everyone talks about that happening, not much about how it happened.
If you do your best to shut down imports from a country, why is it wrong for them to help you in your efforts?
Hopefully another push toward bringing back the manufacturing of essential products, generic medications, PPE, electronics and such.
China already threatened to stop shipments of medications millions of Americans depend on every day, time to get serious about this war threat.
How it ever got to be this way in the first place is treason, and sadly those same traitors who sold out America are currently being bailed out again with billions/trillions.
The USA has the power(ok maybe half the USA) to emerge out of this stronger, better, and faster than most other countries. Canada, not so much anymore.
It sounds like you don't know the difference between auto parts and antibiotics.
Withholding lifesaving products during an emergency to leverage trade deals has long been considered an international crime. As China brags about falling numbers they can't at the same time claim they are withholding products scheduled for the American market to serve a domestic emergency. While a certain country and some international organizations feel they are in the cat bird seat at this time, in retrospect they may discover that they have sabotaged their own long term goals. The current situation is causing a paradigm shift, but not in the way they hoped. There is broad bipartisan support for converting many critical supplies from overseas to domestic production. Even supplies from countries that are not hostile can be a problem when borders are closed. Currently there is a shortage of the Black Elderberries used to make Elderberry syrup due to closed borders in Europe. The syrup is popular as an immune system booster, especially in winter.
