Damnit, Ian!

Why do you hate freedom?

So they're finally activating the vaccine nano-bots? About time!

consider casting your net a bit wider and look local. There's potentially a home for you there.

If you have questions shoot me a note. Always happy to share what I know or answer any questions.

local jurisdictions rely on Federal funds as well - but if you're a veteran you're probably used to that already. 😉
