I’m so sorry for your loss Roy. I met Dawn years ago and never forgot her such was the beauty of her soul. I would rib her on X and she just got me. I can’t imagine what you’re going through but she would want you to stay strong. You’ll get through this. DMs open if you need to reach out.

I hope not. I’d like to see an end to the echo chamber that is social media having some influence on government policy.
