One Answer to School Attendance: Washing Machines

How are we supposed to fix higher order problems if something as simple as clean clothes requires grass roots mobilization to solve? This is a problem within the Maslow hierarchy for God's sake...

I'm just venting, but we should be able to extend basic social services to everyone who needs them, and that includes everything needed to give people dignity in public. This shouldn't be a "school attendance" problem. It should be a heath and human services problem, and they should be working to fix it, pronto...
