KILMAR IS BACK HOME!!?

Tariffs on job spam emails

I remember that from the magisterial Doris Kearns Goodwin history book Team of Assholes

When I broke my wrist 18 months ago, they didn’t tell me I’d never be able to do some things without pain. Like carry cake to class.

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

Bitter pill
