They treat their workforce like crap, they reject DEI, & use their money to manipulate politicians.

Time to use my money to speak.

Thanks- Saturday is doable!

We do have that on whidbey and I am connected but the passing of this budget makes resisting 1000x harder (I’m not exaggerating). Now it seems he can do what he wants with the funding. I will continue to resist just looking for direction.

What do we do now?

It was intended to accommodate military cargo arriving in Poland and then transporting it to Ukraine. As follows from the data published online

The US tore up the concrete so further shipments can’t land in Poland for Ukraine:
