I was listening to an episode of "It Could Happen Here" about LA fire and mutual aid. What stood out was the fact that the LAPD was sweeping homeless camps DURING the fire and that people who had lost their homes came up to the organizers asking to get public housing and we're shocked that the wait list is years long.

Pretty bleak world we've created.

Yup, a ton of previously fortunate people got a crash course in what the system is really like for people who needed it.
