Sometimes our tiniest neighbors have the biggest needs 👶👶🏼👶🏾 And one of the best things about being a grownup is having the ability to help.
A huge thank you to @Baby2Baby for their generous donation of diapers, wipes, infant & toddler clothes, and more!

Today we want to celebrate our friends at Living Hope Wheelchair Association!
They got started in 2005 when the Harris County Hospital District decided to stop providing necessary medical supplies to people with spinal cord injury that were non Medicaid eligible.

@distributeaid.org:
- plans a supplychain across 3 continents
- predicts what displaced people will need and then prepositions the aid
- ships containerized goods across the world just in time for them to fly out of the distro van / free store
That's a planned economy.
It's just not capitalist.

"planning the economy doesn't work"
Apple: plans a supply chain across 6 continents
Amazon: predicts what you'll buy before you buy it
Walmart: ships containerized goods across the world just in time for them to fly off the shelves
There's plenty of planned economy.
It's just not democratic.
