It is a hard thing to look at the truth when it runs contrary to what you've always believed.

Updates from yesterday seem to have caused no problems. We are initiating the development of group notifications today. Once working correctly, we will then also update the notification page in your user settings so you can enable/disable per your preferences.

Thank you for all you are doing.
The group notifications have been working all day via the app.
I found I had to uninstall the app and reinstall the app and after that it's been great getting notifications.

Remember the Swine Flu vaccination fiasco?

True story.

A few years back, I spearheaded the removal of fluoride from my town's water supply. The county public health director met with me afterwards to try to understand what made me 'tick.' In the course of that conversation, he shared with me how he was present during the swine flu fiasco when he was up and coming in the field, and how he was disturbed to be in meetings with his peers where they expressly said that they knew the swine flu wasn't a big deal, but they wanted to find out how many people would get vaccinated "just because the government says so."

He shared this with me to try to build common ground. All it actually did was cement in my mind that I will believe NOTHING just because the government says so and will have the starting assumption that if you work in the government, you are more than likely complete scum. That's the default; they can demonstrate to me on a case by case basis that they aren't scum, of course, but they don't get any benefit of the doubt with me. NONE.
