    Hmm ya I see what ya mean

    I might be okay with a photo op as a part of a larger aid framework. I took a moment to consider my house burning down. And how I might feel if a politician I respected showed up and surveyed the damage and said, “Oh no. It is sad that this house burned down.” The right words from the right person at the right time with reliable follow up could be all right.

    In a normal world at least :)

      To me, the right person is my neighbors, friends, or maybe family. If any politician more removed than the city council wanted to do or say something, I’d rightly think it’s just them posturing. They can shut the fuck up and vote/pass some aid measures.
