The rest of our quest to get the bus
passes was uneventful. We showed some IDs, filled out some paperwork,
and did an interview. I didn't expect the interview, but the lady was
really nice. She apparently handled a whole department inside of
LoCap (actual function other than general civic...civicness is still
a bit vague to me) that was also designed to help people that needed
help.
Really, within four blocks of this
city, there was a mind-boggling concentration of buildings and
organizations dedicated to helping out people in need. I'm really,
really glad that they're here, but it's frightening that there's so
much infrastructure built up around people who can't find work, can't
find employment that pays their bills, and have to fight uphill every
second of their day to try to get somewhere better.
It's like the system has learned to
function around a critical dysfunction.
