I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

You should really ask yourselves why anyone that has the US interests at heart would want us to leave the most powerful alliance in history.
