Pretty wild to see people imply there's going to be a "next time" for climate legislation. I mean, sure, you can technically pass a climate bill whenever. 2100, even. But I think the nature of the problem has eluded you.

It's been a long week filled with emotions. After our local Haitian team touched down on the ground in Les Cayes, the epicenter of the Haiti earthquake, they have been able to locate more than 500 collectors and their family members and counting. ⁣ ⁣

Meal delivery in La Creole, Les Cayes 🇭🇹 This community in southern Haiti was impacted by the 7.2 earthquake nearly a week ago. Many houses have sustained damage—some families have since been staying outside. We brought fresh meals with our partners @doWorkorg & @FirstMileImpact.

Our team spent the day locating our collectors and their families and completing assessments on damages to their homes and their physical and mental wellbeing. 100% of the families we visited sustained major damages to their homes that will require repairs.
