Americans, please think tomorrow of all the critical workers, operators, staff in emergency & hospitals & police & even designated retail (did you know Best Buy is designated critical as it sells appliances like refrigerators?) — they will be working while you eat & party & put up with Uncle Bob tomorrow, on Thanksgiving. My husband (large regional hospital/trauma center operator) will be one of those grabbing a quick yogurt instead of celebrating. Light a candle for them all & raise a glass.

@starcatbooks Needlessly pushed past the breaking point and having to work in fear of their personal safety, no less. When I took my wife to ER, we were both asked multiple times if we had weapons on us. This is new. I don't fault them, but bloody freaking hell!

Best wishes this Thanksgiving. My wife's life has more than once been in the hands of medical care. Thank you for your husband's service!
