We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

The specifics in the screenshot are a bit "legendy," but the concept is real. Sugar does impede the setting of concrete.

My understanding is that sugar delays the setting of the cement but doesn't stop it entirely. I've heard of sugar being dumped into loads of cement that workers didn't have time to finish pouring and smoothing out.
