it's often said that governments are responsible for essential services. they think about food security so nobody starves. they think about logistical security so goods can get where they're needed. but they don't. we freeze and we starve from fake shortages.
when governments do not provide these essential services, they do not become less essential. we must think about the material security of our communities. we must provide the essentials because no one else will. no one but each other.
