The situation in Oakland was even more bizarre at the time. The state had generated certain “equity” access codes which would allow you to book non-public reserved appointments. The idea was that these codes could be used by members of otherwise hard to reach communities. Instead, they were shared by a bunch of local arts groups on Instagram. I’m sure they were abused. Witnessing that debacle made me lose a lot of faith in the prioritization as practiced at the time.

Seeing how this all played out in the Bay Area honestly made me lose faith in humanity a little bit.

It's was wild seeing rationalizations for bad behavior being invented before your very eyes in March.
