If you had done your job, America's governors wouldn't have been forced to fend for themselves to find tests in the middle of a pandemic, as we successfully did in Maryland.
Stop golfing and concede.
Report: Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, Anti-Trump Hero, Paid for Flawed Coronavirus Tests from South Korea breitbart.com/health/2020/11… via @BreitbartNews. This RINO will never make the grade. Hogan is just as bad as the flawed tests he paid big money for!

This is not an accident, or an oversight, or a failure of a system.
It is very successful vote suppression.

Beyond this, gaining an understanding of the context can turn team members into "advocates."
Yesterday, I was an advocate against master/slave terminology.
Today, I am an advocate against just 'master' in database/clustering context.

change going forward,
retroactively fix,
encourage others to do,
outright not accept
Context is my guide.
