Current contents of my kitchen floor:
🔹One (1) tuna can
🔹Two (2) pieces of deli meat
🔹One (1) glue stick
🔹One (1) sparkly shoe
🔹Miscellaneous detritus

…and one (1) kitty, who will at least clean up the deli meat, making her more helpful than my children.

Hi, HCW in rural & underserved community here. Unless that money is going to single payor healthcare, rx cost containment, actual pandemic preparedness, affordable housing, elimination of food & healthcare deserts—you can shove it.

[U.S. Surgeon General @Surgeon_General]
