Yesterday

I understand that my friends, myself and most of my family are ready. Although I am only a long time lurker here, I would like to say that I work in a healthcare not profit and most of my coworkers voted republican. They appear embarrassed sometimes but they shot us and our clients in the foot and heart.
They are not bad people and recognize that our work is doomed. They do not see their part in it.
We have to win.
