@pod_virginia In 1796 a Virginia elector voted for John Adams (as opposed to Jefferson). Rumor is he was upset of the impact of Jefferson's "yeoman farmer" shtick on the Silver Line to Dulles...

@gmoomaw FYI, a quick glance at the report is realistic. Good work, more to be done. "In 2024, while engaging with the Directors and their teams, we saw notable improvement in engagement, willingness to cooperate, and general morale."

@ChazNuttycombe One of the things I like about your analysis is that you are willing to put it out there (like your "feels like 2012 vibe")... kudos for being willing to be wrong.

@ChazNuttycombe Keep the faith, stick with it and soon-ish the doubters and pundits will understand the importance of what you do... it will always be a niche but in a couple of years you will make that niche considerable larger.
