Trump to Tap New Company to Make Covid-19 Drugs in the U.S.

This seems like a good move to me. Not sure why he contract is being awarded to a company with no track record

I am in favour of this initiative. But that's because I am pretty consistent in my core beleifs. How do Trump supporters feel about this? After all this is 'picking winners and losers' with our tax dollars is it not? This is also overpaying for a product in defiance of tthe norms of capitalism. Is it possible to have berated the previous administration for Solyndra and yet applaud this overpaying of a product to a company with no track record? I suppose national interest will be invoked, but that was also the justification for energy independence wasn't it? Anyways, just to show that Trump doesn't always mess eveything up, I am in full support of this. We will have to see down the line how this works out as some of the board memebers have sketchy pasts.
