If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

It's a huge deal that the nation's largest police union condemned Trump for pardoning cop beaters at the J6 riot.

I prefer healthy pets. That means vaccinated pets.
In the conversations on vaccine hesitancy we do not talk enough about the rising vaccine hesitancy among pet owners. This also presents important public health concerns that need to be addressed. This article clearly outlines some of the risks of this trend.
