My beautiful Mommy left at past midnight while confined at Capitol Medical. She was 93. Am sharing this sad news because I just want the world to know that she was here and she mattered, and was loved immensely. I love you, Mommy --Susana V. Ople, Dec 8, 1928-Dec 27, 2021.

Our government needs to compensate our nurses and doctors well, treat them fairly, and give them a career ladder to climb. That's how the world works. To offer so much less while trying to play the pls-be-a-patriot-card is a recipe for resentment, for all parties concerned.
