I woke up this morning to a note from a friend. That friend happens to be New York Times bestselling science fiction author John Ringo, and while we’ve never met in person, I did provide some insight when he was doing research for one of his novels more than a decade ago, we’ve been friends on social media for a while, and we generally hang in the same circles. I do not write this to brag; I write this to explain why I’m enraged this morning.
