Last night I met George who set up an impromptu donation center at a gas station at the border of Altadena / Pasadena.
He kept it going past curfew, even as national guard closed this area off.

Corporations are so funny because they’re going to innovate themselves out of an entire purchasing group. People who can’t work don’t buy things.
